CONVICT ACTS AS FUGITIVE
IN TEST OF BLOODH0UNDS
Prisoner Forced to Climb Tree by
Man-Hunting Dogs

SAN QUENTIN. Oct. 10.-Pursued
by two bloodhounds over the hill near
San Quentin a prisoner was forced to
climb a tree for safety yesterday and
fight off the animals with his feet un-
til a guard came to his rescue. The
pursuit was arranged to test the man
hunting powers OF the hounds, and
was even more satisfactory than the
officials expected.
The dogs are Texas bloodhounds and
are noted for their ferocity. They have
been trained to hunt prisoners by Jack
Shackleton, a guard. Shackleton ar
ranged the man hunt yesterday. A
trusted prisoner who works at the
prison farm acted as the fugitive. He
was given thirty minutes start.

Here's a little mite from Mississippi and Ten
nessee too. I thing the Sunny South Brother
hood is a good thing if we would pay more at
tention to it, You can ask some people to help
and they will say: ooh, haven't any money
would give some if had any, and all just such
talk as that, right when they living WE'LL have
a good home and plenty in it; but yet they
think one time about the thousands of miserable,
afflicted shut-ins, and how much few cents
would be to them, while they themselves would
never miss it. They are constantly spending
money for something they could do without, but
they can't give anything to the poor who can't
work and haven't anything to live What does
Gods book teach us about giving? Turn to
Cor, 9:7: Every man, according as he pur-
poseth in his heart, SO let him give; not grudg
ingly, or Of necessity; for God loveth cheerful
giver." Shall We lose anything when give to
the poor? Turn to Proverbs 1917 and read: "He
that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the
Lord; and that which he hath given will He pay
him again. Now, where is there anything lost?
Read Proverbs 1926 1.-THE liberal soul shall be
made fat; and he that watereth shall be watered

pecting, unless you help others? Stop just
moment and think. I haven't much to send but
