SAN JOSE. Nov I3.-No little com
motion was caused at the poultry and
pet stock show in the Auditorium rink
this morning by the attempt of a po-
lice officer to take a high class Eng
.lish pug, the winner of four blue rib
bons. under search warrant which
had been issued by A. Alloggi the well
known local and San Francisco tobac-
conist, who in his complaint recited
the age and markings of the dog, stated
its name to be 'Trusty' and averred
that it was stolen from his home at
553 South Tenth street on October 2S
He had recognized tne animal. which
was highly priced by himself and fam
lily, while visiting the show last even
ing.
INSISTS DOGGY WAS STRAY
The dog had been entered by Moore
& Mann of the Willows. and Mrs
Moore, who stated that the animal had
come to her home a short distance from
town about two weeks ago. apparently
stray and that she had taken it in
and cared for it ever since. She did
not dispute Alloggi's ownership. but as
certed a lien upon it for care and for
the entrance fee that had been paid
to the association.
The officers of the association in
sisted that the dog had been placed in
their custody by Mrs. Moore for the
term of the show and that they could
not surrender it until after the close of
the show.
The patrolman returned to the police
station without the dog. The chief of
police took the ground that there could
be no question of the power of an Off
Ger to execute the writ and returned
with him to the rink.
Matters were finally simplifed by Al
1oggi consenting that his pet remain
in the show till 1870 this evening,
when it was delivered into the custody
of the officers.

the winners of prizes the fancy poul-

over the tracks of the Vallejo and Napa
railway company last night in an en-
deavor to make connections with a
ferry boat at Maines street wharf, ran
past a man lying face downward along

three minutes in which to catch the
boat, which was two miles away
Hadley reported the matter to the
police department. and Patrolman Hall
was sent to investigate the case. Hall

seen, but could find no trace of him.
What became of the man is a mys-
terry that the police department would

Mr.. Buffums story of the banner and

In the early summer of 1861 there
was organized in Andalusia a COM

drill master. The uniforms worn

In February, 1862, Company B.,
65th Illinois Volunteer infantry was
organized. Robert Montgomery being
captain and James w. Ballard first
lieutenant. The latter took this
flag to Camp Douglas fer Company

the banner being found too long, a

NOME months ago the old flag car
ried through the civil war by Com
pany B, 65th Illinois infantry, was
deposited with the war relics at Me-
mortal hall in the court house by John
Ballard of Andalusia, who has been
custodian of the historic banner since
the close of the conflict of the SOS.
AT that time Mr.. Ballard prepared a
short history of the flag, which was
printed in The Argus at that time and
which is now preserved at Memorial
hall.
Since then A. A. Buffum of Edging-
ton, who as a boy in war time was a
for which the flag was made, has in
vestigated the story of the banner in
more detail, particularly as to the man
ner in which it was saved from falling
into the hands of the confederates at
Harper's Ferry, where Company b was
captured. This was done through the
heroism of Mrs. Catharine e. Moore
wife of member of the company, who
happened to be in camp at the time OF
the battle, and who wore the flag
through the lines as an underskirt.
Mrs. Moore, who now resides al
Fresno, Cal, has been induced to tel
the story of how she concealed the
flag, together with two swords and
two revolvers of officers of the com
pany, and carried them for three days
till the company members were par
oiled and sent back into the union
lines. In her story Mrs Moore, who
is now 50 years of age, and admits
that she has forgotten many of the
events of those stirring times, did not
do herself full justice, according tt
members of Company b now living
