MINISTER FIGHTS MAD DOG
Seizes and Helps Kill Animal
That Had Bitten Children.

With bare hands the Rev. DR.. Edward NJ
McGuffey, rector of ST Jamess Episcopal
Church, and John E. Meyers caught and
overpowered a dog suffering from rabies
after 1t had bitten three children and
score or more of other dogs in the streets
of Elmhurst, Long Island, yesterday. The
dog had bitten Wallace Rostand, eleven
years old: Ruth Iligan, seven years old,
and Mabel SIyerdierks, fourteen years old
DR. McGuffey is a Scotchnnan, full of vim
and courage. AS he was entering the rec
tory he heard cries and screams, and then
some one told him dog had attacked three
children. He says he was overcome with
Indignation to think that children were
not safe in the streets and started on run
toward the dog. He arrived in the nick
OF time
Mr.. Meyers, who is an optician. had
caught the frothing animal Mr.. McGufey
went at once to his assistance. Amid
screams and cries Of the women and chill
dren the two men succeeded in securely
pinning the dog fast to the ground. Finally
a rope was procured, and the dog made
fast to q lamppost. Then a policeman shot
the animal TO death.
DR.. McGuffey then turned his attention
TO the three children who had been bitten
and he took them to the Office of DR.
Franklin H. Booth, where their wounds
were cauterized-
"Al the credit for the capture OF that
dog belongs to Mr.. Meyers" said DR.. Nc
Guffey- II simply assisted It Is an out
rage the way this community is endangered
by naongral homeless dogs. 1 estimate that
at this present time there are fully five
hundred dogs loose in this place, and pot
any one of them is worth more than 15
cents. They not only attack our children
on the streets but they invade our yards
and even our homes when driven by
hunger

THOUGHT WIFE WAS POOLING
Texas Contractor Now Asks Permis-
sion to Defend Separation Suit.

One would think that after man anu
woman had been married for twenty years
they would know all about each other
moods But this wasn't the case with
Charles Sundberg, a contractor who for
merly lived in Texas. where he pullt the
Galveston Custom House.
He married Miss Jennie Cooke IN Cni-
cago in 1879 Last February Mrs Sundoers
ohtained a decree of separation from her
husband in an undefended action.
In the Supreme Court yesterday Sund-
berg asked Justice Page TO vacate the de-
cree of separation and permit him to put in
a defence.
Sundberg explained his failure to de1end
his wifes suit by saying that he old not
think she was serious about 1t. and tnere-
fore paid no attention to the case.

M'MURRAY MAKES DENIAL
Never Offered to Brihe Senator
Gore, He Says at Inquiry.
Mr.. SHERMAN NOT INVOLVED
Did Not Authorize Hamon State
ment-Neither Curtis Nor Nc
guire Interested, He Says.

Sulphur. Okla. Aug. 1S.-"It has been
charged that you. through Jake L, Hamon,
offered Senator r. 2. Gore S25,o00, or $50
0oo as a bribe to influence him in Con-
gress to withdraw opposition to the ap-
proval of your contracts. Did you or did
you not offer Senator Gore such bribe?''
No replied J. F. McMurray, to this
question to-day at the hearing before the
Congressional committee investigating Ind
ian land affairs.
Mr.. McMurray, who holds contracts with
Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians for the
sale of $4,000 600 worth of land in this
state on a 10 per cent contingent fee basis,
was on the stand all day. The questions
were propounded to him by Cecil H. Smith,
his counsel.
did YOU ever tell any one that Vice
President Sherman had any interest in
your contracts?
AZ never did, answered McMurray.
Did you authorize Hamon to say Mr..
Sherman was interested?'
II did not"
Ibid Senator Charles Curtis, of Kansas,
ever have any interest in the contracts?"
.He never did and I never told any one
that he did,
Did you ever tell any one that Congress
man B. S. Mcclure had any interest in any
of your contracts?"
II never did"
HAS any member Of Congress or any en-
ploye of any department of the government
anv interest in your contracts?"
They have not"
Describing his contracts as a plain bus1-
ness proposition, Mr.. McMurray told of his
-or,+,o,e with the Indians begun in 1893.
In the first contracts for the sale of the
land Cecil Lyon, Republican National Com
n7itteeran from Texas, was a partner, Nc
Murray said. These contracts were dlsap-
proved by President Roosevelt in 1903, and
Mr.. Lyon ceased to be connected with then-
Mr.. McN1urray said he then employed as
counsel ex-senator J. NJ. Thurston, of Ne
braska; ex-senator c. I. Long, of Kansas
and Richard c. Adams. of Washington.
The witness denied that he ever offered
$4,000 as bribe to D. c. McCurtain, a
Choctaw lawyer McCurtain had testified
that the offer had been made to him in con-
nection with the old tribal contracts.
Mr.. McMurray testified that he had called
twice on Senator Gore after May (the
date on which the Senator said Hamon
tried 20 bribe him), and that the Senator
had made no reference to the alleged offer
of bribery to him He had not heard of 1t
until Cores speech in the Senate on
June %.
Jacob l. Han1on, mentioned by Senator
Gore as the man who offered the br1oe IN
McMurray's behalf, took the stand and de-
MED he had ever made any such offer The
examination of Mr.. McNfurray will be con-
tinued tomorrow.
