Passersby had to seek safety in the
houses. The animal then turned into
Van Brunt street.
The rope frequently caught against
ratings or under the feet of the ST
Bernard and worked it into a greater
fury. 1t snapped at horses and caused
several runaways.
In the street children were throw,
ing snowballs and as the dog came
along they hurled chunks of ice at 1t.
The animal leaped over a bank into
snow fort, behind which the young
sters had sheltered themselves. In
the rush to escape several of the boys
were knocked down. The dog seized
the left leg of Edward Hanley, 10
years old, son of canalboat captain
in the Erie basin. 1t was tearing the
flesh when its attention was attracted
to Daniel Gilbride, IL, of No. 100 Dyk.
man street, who was trying to get up.
The dog sprang on him, knocked the
boy down and sank its teeth into the
youngsters shoulder until he tainted
from pain and fright. Next the dog
attacked Gilbert Griggin, three, of No.
TIA Beard street. 1t had seized him
by the left leg, when Leary ran up
and dubbed the animal on the head
until it let go the boy.
The st. Bernard then leaped for the
policeman and threw him against the
snow bank. Before the bluecoat could
get the revolver from his hip pocket
the dog reared up and. despite blow
after blow from Leary's club, tore a
deep cash In the policeman's chin.
Then it sank its teeth in his right
leg.
Sick with pain, Leary tried to pull
the dogs jaws apart, but the teeth
closed on his hands. Again and again
the animal bit its victim and finally
tore the right leg of the trousers loose
and with it strings of flesh. The
bluecoat was pinned against the bank
in such way he was unable to eff
fectively WELD his club and could
only jab with it.
Weakened by loss of blood, he was
making feeble fight when Andrew
Ruhe, of No. 1873 Dykeman street, ran
to his aid with pitchfork. He jabbed
the prongs into the sides of the ami
NAL. The st. Bernard made for
Ruhe, but he held it back with the
fork and finally drove 1t into a corner.
While the dog was kept in check
with the prongs, other men and Leary
improvised the rope from the collar
into muzzle and tied its Jaws to-
gether. The animal was taken to the
Hamilton avenue station and after
ward to the Pasteur institute.

He was deeply moved and, as he
controlled himself, he walked to the
little table and fingered the ribbons of

YORK BLUEcOAT.

New York.-In a 15-minute battle
between a st. Bernard dog that had
bitten three boys and Patrolman John
Leary of Brooklyn the bluecoat was
almost at the point of exhaustion
when aid arrived. He was unable to
get at his revolver and his club had
little effect on the thickly coated ami
NAL. Leary was bitten on the chin
and his left leg and hands mangled.
The dog first was seen on Beard
street with a long rope trailing from
its collar. 1t ran from one side of
the street to the other, snarling and

Belgium is, perhaps the most pros
porous state in Europe, as we'll as the
most thickly settled. The late kings
reign was at least marked by an enor-
nous advance in wealth and social re-
form. One Of the country's special ad
vantages is that its international neu-
tralization permits it to dispense with
a navy, while the Belgian army is
maintained on very small and mex

My mind had slowly begun to grasp
the situation and to identify the men

the boat-maker of the Tippecanoe, was
not Henry Holbrook, but Henry's
brother, Arthur! and l sought at once

the issue of this meeting.

said Arthur Holbrook, quietly. And
l suggest that you make less noise.
This is a lonely place, but there are
human beings within hundred

Henry Holbrook paced the floor a
moment and then flung himself into
chair again, but he bent forward
angrily, nervously beating his hands
together. Arthur went on speaking,
his voice shaking with passion.
II want to say to you that you have
deteriorated until you are a common
damned BLACKBOARD, Henry Holbrook!
You are BLACKBOARD and a gambler.
And you have made murderous at
tempts on the life of your sister; you
