SAMSON PAID s7
For Allowing Ills Dog 10 Roam
 al Large.

It cost Percy Sansom S7 in the city court this morning to find out that Il dog not accompanied by it's owner. even on private property. is a viola tion of the dog law. Sansom lives on Newton street, . new tributary to the Watertown road. The dog was running around the adjacent fields without it's owner when the bow WOW cop, Richard Leroy came along. When the officer walked up 10 the house to ascertain who owned tho dog the animal, suspecting the erfand of the stranger went for him. So said the officer to Judge Burpee in court to-day All of this SansOm denied. He considered that so long as the dog was OH private property and as the street adjoining has not been accept- ed by the city even though there is q water main in t, the dog was not at large. the court thought otherwise and Sansom was fined S1 and costs which amounted to $7.
 Jeremiah Scully who has been do- ing well of late was charged with in- toyicatlon and was put on probation ito pay q fine of S5 and costs. Will liam Clarke charged with noIl-support of his fmily was put OH probation for two weeks. The Clarks live in Wa terylle

Even at that they stepped and threatened and swore that they would have satisfac- stion. One of their countrymen who keeps a meat shop in that section. joined in the discussion and said that it was simply | case of everybody wanting to have n whack at the Ital- ian. He also said that the whole gang of city lahorers were drunk and should Dc arrested. This prompted the officer to make a closer investiga- ton and returning to the men with some witnesses the blue coated guar dian of tho public detected nothing that would lead him to believe that the men had touched anything strong CT than water or tea. After doing this the officer said that he should like to see the man who had made that statement brought up with short turn and asked to prove what lie had said. It was Il small matter to make q fuss about. hut just the same if the officer had been on hand the city's forces would have to fight or take to their heels.

WALKED OUT WINDOW
Thomas Jackson Had Not Been
 Rational For Some Time.

The remains of Thomas Jackson, who was killed yesterday afternoon by a fall from the fourth story of the Frederick block on East Main. street, were removed to Mulville's morgue, from where the funeral will be held to the Immaculate Conception church at S:3O o'clock tomorrow morning. MT Jackson was born in Limerick Ireland, IS years ago. He was a stone cutter by trade and worked at the business in the old country until he came to-this country. about twen- ty-four years ago. His wife died prior to his coming to this country and since that time he has lived with his sons. The family resided for many years in Brooklyn, but some time ago they removed to East Main street. At the time of the accident Mir Jackson and his son, Charles, were boarding with Mrs Elizabeth Wheeler. The old gentleman was childish and the children had planned for his removal last night to the resi- dence of William Young on Cossett street, where 1t was thought he would be safer than in a large block. It is believed that he mistoGk the window for the doorway. raised 1t and stepped out. He fell distance of sixty feet and in addition to splitting his skull. fractured almost every bone in his body. Mir Jackson is survived by four sons. Charles and Michael of this city. William, of New York, and James. of Brooklyn, all of whom saw him during the past week, but he was irrational and scarcely knew who they were. He was also the father of the late Thomas Jackson, formerly a prominent Bank street cigar dealer, and we'll known in Irish national or ganizatiOns.
 Until his health became impaired MT Jackson took a deep interest in current events and could talk intelli- gently on public subjects. He was ft we'll read man. especially on matters pertaining to the history of the old world. and his company was much sought by people who like to hear "reminiscences of Irish life of half a century or more ago from an eye wit ness. Though not widely known, yet he had many warm personal friends outside his children to whom the news of his untimely death is a source of much regret

CHAPTER XIV.

f~eHAT same afternoon Baldos,
bllssfully ignorant Of the stir
he had created In certain cir
cles, rode out for the first time
as a member of the castle guard. He
and Haddan were detailed by Colonel
Quinnox to act as private escort to
Miss Calhoun until otherwise ordered.
If Haddan thought himself wiser than
Baldos in knowing that their charge
was not the princess he was very much
mistaken. If he enjoyed the trick that
was being played on his fellow guards
man his enjoyment was as nothing
when compared to the pleasure Baldos
was deriving from the situation.
The royal victoria was driven to the
fortress, conveying the supposed prin-
cess and the Countess Dagmar to the
home Of Count Marlanx. The two
guards rode bravely behind the equi-
page, resplendent in brilliant new uni
forms. BaldOs was mildly surprised
and puzzled by the homage paid the
young American girl. 1t struck him as
preposterOus that the entire population
Of Edelwelss could be in the game to
deceive him.
"Who is the princess cOmpanionT
he inquired of Haddan as they left the
castle grounds.
"The Countess Dagmar, cousin to her
highness. She is the wife Of Mr.. An
guish."
"I have seen her before" said Baldos.
