Sass" History.
Sass" was first brought to the
police station about five years
ago by Tom Dennis, longshore-
man, who enjoys the soubriquet
of "Sassafrella," because that was
what he was drinking, he said,
when arrested for being drunk.
That's how Sass got his
name. "Sassafrella," to show his
appreciation of the hospitable
city jail, awarded the dog to ex-
Chief Maloney. When Maloney
retired he gave the dog to Driver
Minnick, who was the nominal
owner of Sass" since. But
Sass" refused to regard anything
but the police station as his
home.
His death was caused primarily,

Coming to the police station for
the first time, nearly five years
ago, when he was only eight
months old, Sass" was immedi-

ness of police life, and at once
dedicated his service ito the de-

on the police patrol seat the first
day to pick up a prisoner, and
not prouder "dog" could be
found in the city since. Residents
of Tacoma have learned to know

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 15.-
Twenty fatalities have been re-
ported and a numbered are ru-
mored, as the result Of destruc-
tive tornado which ragged through
this section of the country last

at Mulberry.
Edward North was the only
person TO meet dead at Courtland.
Several other deaths are report
ed in the devastated sections, al

telegraph and telephone communi-
cation has been interrupted and
only scant details of the cyclone

The greatest loss of life oc-
currd at Hamburg, which seemed
TO be nthe center of the storm g
path. This little city has been
badly damaged and the property
loss will run into the thousands.
Much damage is also reported
from sections of Alabama and
Georgia.

tain the loss of life and property
until communication is restored.
At Hamburg, Tenn, Is people
are reported to have been killed
At Denmark two are dead; Null
berry reported one, and it is ru-
mored that fatalities occurred at
several other points within the

that they would give entire salts.
