There are four dogs on Chafree street
which have formed themselves into a
club and their object appears 20 be to
keep all other dogs off the thoroughfare

equal to one good-sized canine and as for
breeds no one can tell outside Of the own
err and he probably would be stumped.

ing until sunset and keep a watchful eye
from Manton avenue to Chanee street.
and as soon as a stray dog appears one
OF the club" CANNES will set up a pecu-
liar yelp and in less than a second the
other three dogs will come bounding out
OF the yards OF their owners. Then all
four will pounce upon the stranger. The
quartet has learned the art Of fishting TO
the extent that as a body IL can drive a
fierce bulldog from It's stamping ground.
The hour for leaving the field has been
set. for the reason that two OF the dogs
are locked up at sunset. and II is sell
dom either OF the others is seen In the
street afterward.
