HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE
DOGS IN A JAIL DELIVERY

Atlanta Aug 4.-The dog catcher
of Atlanta yesterday morning was
Igreatly surprised when he visited his
dog house at the dumping grounds, to
find that one side of t,r; house had
been torn down ard I25 dogs had
made good their escape. 1t is not
known who tore down the side Of the
opinion that it was torn down by the
owner of one of the imprisoned dogs,
while others think that several Of the
larger dogs knocked down the side
and freed the CANNES.
All dogs that are caught on the
ts:reets are held for twenty-four hours
before being drowned, so as to give
their masters time to come and re-
| deem them. This accounts for the un.
usually large number Of days that
were in the house Sunday night. In
the lot were all kinds and sizes of
dogs, coming from all sections of the
| city
Some of the dogs did not realize
, that their lives were at stake, and
when they were released from the
dog Jail did not leave the imme diate
lneighborhood, but remained and were
lcaptured by the skillful dog catcher.
Others seemed to realize that it
would be best for them to take to
the surrounding woods. A number of
the dogs were recaptured, while 9th
iers will have to be sought out in Their
