Suspected That Ours crawIed Under
The Woven Wire Fence.
THE CANNES WERE NOT LICENSED
Loss Is Felt BY Every Resident Of
Mankato Who Admired the
Pretty Animals.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The beautiful little herd of deer at
Sibley park, that has so delighted visit
ors there, is no more. 1t was slaughter
ed by dogs last night, placed, as some
believe, in the enclosure by some fiend
or fiends in human shape. For hours
during the early morning hours, the
pretty and inoffensiye1 little creatures
were chased, bitten, torn and mangled
by the savage brutes until they were
done to death.
Not for a long time has the city been
aroused by an act of wanton vandalism
as it was this morning when the news
OF the occurrence at the park spread.
The deer were one of the features of
the park, and cost the city little or
nothing, having for the most part been
donated by public spirited citi-
zens. Hardly child in the city but had
seen and admired them, and delighted
to visit the place and watch the shy
little creatures from the northern for
ests as they grazed or sported in their
captivity.
The first that was known of the af-
fair was this morning when Park Sup
erintendent Blake went to the park at
sunrise. as was his wont, to feed the
animals He found four of them dead
and the fifth lying upon the ice dying.
He picked this one up tenderly and
took it inside of the shed and cared for
it as best he could. He then notified
the police and the sheriff, and the park
committee of the council, and officers
were soon hurrying to the park. Nh
cerous citizens also went there, and eX
pressions of Indignation at the outrage
were heard on all sides.
Park Superintendent Blake states
that it is impossible for dogs to either
leap the fence Or get through it unas-
T. sisted. The fence. is about nine feet
high, and is made of closely woven wire

The fencing is in two strips, one above
the other, the two being Wired together
Mr.. Blake states that investigation
shows that at the northwest corner OF
the deer park he this morning found the
two pieces of fencing unfastened, sc
that person by pushing she two apart
could lift dogs in or allow them to
jump in. The dogs would also
have to be assisted to get out in the
same way. This part of the fence is
the farthest from the nearest houses
and the safest for any such miserable
work as last nights, if it is true that
any human being had hand in it, The
gate is locked securely every night, with
II Yale lock. and the lock did not appear
this morning to have been tempered
with.
A man who lives near the park in
formed Mr.. Blake this morning that he
heard the sound of dogs barking in the
direction of the deer park during the
night. There seemed to be several dogs
Alderman Atchison made careful in
vestigation of the condition of the fence
today. and found that there are one OF
two places at the bottom where Il dog
could possibly shove himself through.
He is of the opinion that the dogs went
at their work unaided He has learn
ed of couple of big unlicensed dogs in
West Mankato that were covered with
Tho mt
a bluff that they got the blood from a
dead horse some days ago.
Mr.. Atchison remarked: "This shows
that my attempt to have the dog IL
cense ordinance enformed last year was
right. If all of the unlicensed dogs had
been killed, this affair would probably
not have happened"
If it is true that the fence was so
constructed that dogs could crawl under
it. that is a matter that is deserving of
investigation. 1t is very easy matter
to enclose the bottom of a wire fence
with timbers sunken into the ground.
Sheriff Williams as well as Deputy
Sheriff Atchson is convinced that the
dogs got under the fence without any
help from anyone.
1t has come to the knowledge of the
officers that one or both of the dogs
owned by Abe L. Daily, the garbage col
lector. and whose home is in West Man
kato, had fresh blood upon their hair
today Mr.. Daily was seen, but claim
ed that the dogs had gotten the blood
from the carcass of horse not far Off.
He claimed that one of them was lock-
ed in the barn last night. Mr.. Atchison
later made an investigation and learn
ed from Mr.. Daby's young son that the
dog was out last night He and others
also investigated the dead horse, and
found that it has been dead for two
weeks, and that the carcass is frozen
stiff these nights, when the temperature
has gone down to zero and below, and
furthermore by this time the carcass
would not give off the stains of fresh
blood. They also state that they found
deer hair upon one of the dogs.
Mr.. Daily denies that his dogs are the
ones that did the work. and it would
doubtless be difficult to prove that they
did, even if Mr.. Daily was mistaken.
The new code provides that where. a
dog worries any animal owned by an

Being Separated From Her

A COW on the ]. ]. Anderson farm,
seven miles south OF this city, mad
dened because her calf was being
kept from her, nearly killed Mrs. An
dersOn and her seventeen-year-Old
daughter at milking time. The cow
made an effort to break into the en-
closure containing the calf when the
girl tried to keep her back, and the
maddencd animal knocked her down.
The mother came to the rescue, when
the COW turned on her and struck her
in the breast. After knocking her
down the infuriated beast trampled
on her, and when the unfortunate
woman was. carried into the house it
was thought that she was dead. How
ever, after medical aid had been sum-
moned she was brought back to con

clares That in all his experience, he
has never seen so many attractive

as many girls as they desire to take
chorus girl positions. After days of
effort the Shuberts succeeded in get

that chorus girls were wanted. The
next day at eleven o'clock, the time
set by Phoenix two hundred comely
young women thronged the corridors
of Music Hall on the Fall Festival

produced. The majority of these had
a technical knowledge of singing and
about one hundred were engaged.

People Paid Ten Cent Fare in
Brooklyn Without any Pro-
test Yesterday.
MANY OFFICERS ON DUTY
NEW YORK SUFFERED HOT DAY
AND THERE WAS AN EXODUS
TO THE SEASHORE-EXTRA
SERVICE PROVIDED.

New York, Aug. 19.-With one
tenth of the entire police force Of the
city on duty at the second fare points
along the line of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company, the New York City
administration was fully prepared for
a repetition today of the riotOus
scenes of last Sunday. but they were
agrefably disappointed. The 10000
and odd thousand people who went to
the summer resort by the sea today
were apparently willing to wait the
action of the courts in disposing of
the proposition whether or not the
railroad company had the right to
charge ten cents fare, and although
Ahey insisted on their little yellow re
Ceipt, which are to be good for five
cents, SO the company says, if the
decision of the upper courts is ud-
verse to it, there was no disposition to
resent the action Of the collectors in
enforcing the extra fare. BY order Of
the company only those who asked for
them were given receipts, and this
action is likely to save the transit
corporation a good many nickles, as
hundreds of those who rode in its
cars gave mp their dime willingly and
made no protest against the eXtortt Il.
Therefore. there was nothing for the
police to do hut loaf about in shady
spots and wait for night to come.
This was one of the hottest days
of the year in New York. and many
prosTatiOns were reported in the
crowded tenement districts, but none
resulted fatally SO far as the police

night, and extra trains and steam
