NELLIE WAS IN THE ICEBoX.
Caused Great Perturbation to the
Hebrew Democrats.

NEW YORK, February 25.-Nellie, the
Hebrew Democratic Clubs dog. strayed out
of the club house in Clinton street last Mon
day. The fact caused much excitement in
the neighborhood when Herman Engel re-
ported it at the Delaney street station.
Mr.. Engel. who Is president of the club.
said he guessed the Hebrew Republican
Club of the district had ''pinched' the dog.
and the democratic clubs steward who is
known as Chickens" came near losing his
job on account Of the disappearance of Nell
lie. He was told that a special meeting
would be called to consider his case unless
he produced the goods meaning, of course.

ciers We're sent through the streets Of the
East Side looking for clues. and the search
was continued all Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday.
But yesterday the searchers abandoned
the Job. They assembled In ex-Assemblyman
Rosenstein's saloon, at Broome and Clinton
streets, and were in the act of signing

the saloon cellar. shouting:
II seen It! seen it,
"Seen what?" demanded the crowd in
chorus.
Nellie. der dog. replied the bartender.
"She is eating ice in der ice box"
Led by Rosenstein the club members hur-
ried into the cellar. Issy opened the door Of
the icebox. The crowd peered in. There they
saw Nellie crouched in a corner with a
chunk of corned beef at her feet. Seventy
pounds Of material that go to make up an
East Side saloon free lunch were missing.
There were few remnants of Holland
bologna some picked rabbit stew, a box of
Dutch herrings and a bottle OF mixed
pickles but all of the beef save the one
chunk was gone. Rosenstein dragged Nellie
into the limelght.

Chickens" took the dog back to the club
house, and then the crowd began figuring
out how Nellie got into the icebox. Engel
remarked that It must have been Issys
fault for leaving the door of the Icebox
open. Another man declared that I. was up
to Engel to sue Rosenstein for worriment
damages.
We'll" said Rosenstein. elf der club sues
me for worriment. I'll sue der club for tree

But after talking the matter over with
lawyer Mike Rosenthal II agreed to
settle both damage actions by arbitration.
This was done by imposing upon Chick
ems" the club steward, fine OF three
rounds of drinks for permitting Nellie to
stray.

Glad to Be Back in Jail,

DOVER, Del. February 25.-All the six
teen prisoners who escaped from Jail here
last Friday while the evening meal was
being served have been recaptured or vol
unfairly returned, except four. Two OF
these have been located near here. and
their arrest is momentarily expected.
The returned prisoners tell tales of ter
rible suffering during their brief freedom.
They were thinly clad and, being unable to
secure provisions, they could not keep
warm. They slept in hay and straw stacks,
and the constant fear of being shot by
parties in search of them caused them to
be more than glad to return to the prison
from which they had fed.
