WENT HOME FOR WARRIOR.
Dog Evidently Had Reasoned Out the
Situation.

c. B. Shockley, who lives across the
river, was recently blowing in some
new ground near the edge of the river
hills, says an Oklahoma correspondent
of the Kansas City Journal. He was
accompanied by a half-grown shepherd
dog. The dog in hunting went over
small hill and soon came kiting back
with a coyote close to his heels See
ing the man the coyote ran back and
the dog plucked courage to follow.
Out of sight of his master he weak
ened and came back over the hill with
the coyote after him. This was re-
peated several times, to the amuse-
ment of Mr.. Shockley, who offered
neither counsel nor assistance, mean
ing to see how the dog would figure 1T
out He had not long to wait. The
dog sat down and seemed to think over
the situation, and then started for the
house on a keen run. He was back in
very short time, accompanied by a
big dog whose reputation as coyote
fighter was established. The young
dog led the old one over the hill and
soon the coyote had disappeared.

Despondent Dog a Suicide.

A valuable bulldog belonging to
John c. Reed, of Binghampton, N. Y,
committed suicide by jumping up
against a picket fence until he hooked
his collar over one of the pickets. He
then swung himself around until the
weight of his body on the leather
strap shut off his wind and he strang-
led. The dog had made previous at
tempt to hang himself, but was found
in time and taken from the fence, al
though he fought savagely while his
owner unlocked his collar from the
picket.
