Wide comment was aroused by the
action of District Attorney Clarence

OF Clagett the night after he was first
arrested Mr. Wilson gave as his rea-

were best served by the release but
upon the protest of Mr.. MauS. Clagett

on October Is.
He was then sent by judge Nullownv

physicians there decided he was sane,
but was suffering from acute alcoholism.
It was then alleged that ATr. Wiison'S
representative conferred with the MauS
family and they agreed TO withdraw a

gett would plead guilty.
'Cladgett made this plea In court on
May 19." Mr.. Maus said. and he was

Clasett was first arrested October Is

The riots are said TO have been caus-

ignorant natives believed that this was
but another method Of levying addition

Only One Chance.

According 70 Mrs. Ham, Bob was rid
ing with them in their own car. and
Mr. Ham. who Is the treasurer Of the
! Washington Railway and Electric Com
Uany. noting that the dog was tired Of
riding, put him out TO run a bit and
turned the car toward home. Bob's
tender feet were unused 90 the sharp
pointed macadam.- and Bob was a -Jrifie
slow in moving when a car approach
ing from the other direction shrieked
IL swarning.
When standing In front Of a 1910 model
iuegernaut, with eighty or ninety horses
tied UP somewhere inside, you only have
time for one guess. Bob might have
done better II he had been given another
chance.
Bob was native OF Washington, and
was ten years old. He was the grand
son Of the two famous collies, which
James Smithson. founder Of the Smith
sonian Institution, brought 20 this cOun-
try with him. Bob was small
II appears that his blue-blOoded pa
rents refused 90 form marriage alliance
with any cheap American canine and
B0bs physique was the result Of two
generations Of breeding.
Mrs. Ham maintained, however, that
what he lacked IN quantity he made up
in brains and quaity-sort Of O concen-
trated essence Of dog as IL were.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1910-11-12
A Self-Made Dog.

Also Bob was self made. A hundred
tricks werc contained in his repertoire,
and yet, says Mrs Ham. he learned
them all himself-did it by mind reading
or mental telepathy, you know. If any
one said 'Sneeze. Bob" Bob would
sneeze until he caught cold And Ue
would shake hands with anyone who
could afford sDats and a watch fob.
Plebeians and commoners he Stunned.
At Jhe time OF his death q report was
circulated that the unfortunate cir
cumstance came about through the
carelessness Of the servant in prepar-
Ing his bath, the chill not having been
taken from the water.
Those who were responsible for the
false report evidently did not see him
after the accident
Although Bob was American by two
generations ne still affected oatmeal for
breakfast and supper.
Mrs. Ham said t0dav that so many
people about Washington knew Bob
that she thought f. best to insert q
notice Of his death IN the daily papers.
