Y|P'S LONG WAIT FOR HIS
MASTER ENDED BY DEATH
Dog Which Hung About County
Jail Finally Shot by a
Policeman

The little black and tan dog without
muzzle or city license which for many
weeks has skulked in the shadow of
the grim stone walls OF the county Jail
patiently waiting for his masters re-
lease was shot by policeman yester-
day. Weeks that he has eluded, with
watchfuL eye, the daily raids of the
pound men and the patrolmen on the
beat have passed for nothing. He was
practically bucking a losing game from
the start with the odds all against him,
for many months would elapse before
his erring young master would have
been able to rejoin him. Possibly If
he could have held out a little longer
his masters jailers would have taken
pity on his unequal fight for life and
chipping in bought him a nuzzle and
a license.
The pound men and the policemen on
the beat called him "Yip" for want OF
a better name. They rather enjoyed
the excitement of the chase, for Ytp
took many chances to remain near his
master and to scout for food In the
vicinity of the big building. Many
times they have trapped him in a
corner, but he has as often slipped
through their moose and with the hunt
ed whine of a wild animal has run away
only to return a few hours later and
gaze up at the grim barred windows.
But Zip is gone and the law has had
its way. He has passed on to the dog S
happy land where there is no muzZle
and no city licenses or pound men and
hie policemen to enforce them.

TOO MUCH HASTE
MAKES LAUGHTER
Kings Death Comes Too Late to
Save Hostess from So
ciaI Disaster
(Special to The Herald.)

LONDON, May 10.-King Edward S
death came just too late to save Mrs.
George Corvallis West from coming
a nasty social crupper. A few weeks
ago the king politely declined to stand
sponsor for Mrs. CORVALLIS West s
Shakespearean theater. That was a
blow from which the lady most vitality
concerned sought consolation by plan
ming a tremendously formal woman's
dinner with Col. Theodore Roosevelt
as guest of honor. Then came the Sec
ond contretemps.
Leaving the date to be fixed later,
at Col. Roosevelt's pleasure, Mrs. Corn
wallis-West invited to her dinner many
of the most prominent figures in Lon
don's social life. She asked them to
hold open dates for week and they
agreed to do so. Then, as everybody
Col. Roosevelt and the colonel ungal-
lantly refused to be lioniZed or to at
tend her dinner at all.
Nightly piqued, Mrs. Corvallis
West returned to London and at once
Withdrew her invitations. Now she
realizes that she made public her sec
ond humiliation unnecessarily, for since
the kings death the dinner naturally
would have had to be abandoned any
way, irrespective of Mr.. Roosevelt
attitude in the premises.
However, there is now no help for 1t,
and instead of Mrs. Corvallis West s
receiving the sympathy she would
have gained otherwise, London society
turns occasionally from its mourning
for the king to laugh decorously but
nointedly at the lady's unhappily dis
closed rebuff.

OIL MEN REACH CAPITAL,
WIRES EXPERT, START FIGHT
Committee to Hear Protest To-
day; Pickett Bill Has Angles
Especial to The Herald.l

WASHINGTON, May 1O.--A delega-
tion of oil men arrived from California
this evening to protest against the
Pickett bill pending in congress as a
part of conservation legislation. A
hearing will be held before the senate
public lands committee tomorrow and
before the house committee later in the
week.
The controversy over the Pickett
measure has many angles, first on how
best to conserve the oil lands, and sec
end, to it's effect on claims prospected
since the presidential withdrawal order
was issued. Representative Smith of
California has been actively seeking to
protect what he describes as bona fide
equities of those who have gone for
ward and drilled public lands, doing
actual exploitation work.
However, 1 am not supporting the
claims of those companies and indi-
viduals," he said today, that have
merely staked large acreage, running
up into the thousands of acres, in spite
of the withdrawal ORDERS"
The California oil men have engaged
as their attorney former Representative
Lacey of Iowa, who was chairman of
the public lands committee while a
member of the house, and there will be
some hard hammering on the Pickett
bill

spent yesterday evening together and
when they arrived at the Vogt resi-
dence. at about 10 o'clock at night,

ously to being disturbed at his rest by
their conversation. An argument fol-
lowed with Mrs. Cotton, who is Grip
pie and walks with the aid of crutch,
and during the progress of the row
Vogt is alleged to have pushed Mrs.
Cotton from her feet. In a rage the
crippled woman is said to have called
upon her son to "clean up the floor
with Vogt. This the young man is said
to have done, and as a result Vogt
sWore out a warrant this morning, and
young Cotton was arrested on charge
of assault.
Cotton is already on probation under
a charge of having been connected
with the theft of a quantity of copper
wire from the harbor district a few
weeks ago, and was certified to the
juvenile court on the present charge.
Vogt denies that he showed Mrs.
Cotton over or did anything else to
Justify the attack upon him.

TOWN WIPED OUT
BY FOREST FIRE
Mosinee, Wis, Is Destroyed by
Flames; KnoWlton Threat
ened-Loss Tremendous
Especial to The Herald.l

WASAU, Wis, May 1O.-The little
town of Mosinee, in the heart of the
pine region, probably has been wiped
out by flames. Word came early this
evening that the forest fire which had
been raging in that section all day
had suddenly changed it's course and
attacked the town. The residence Sec
tion was swept clean at the first onset
of the flames, and though every man,
woman and child in the community
fought the fire to the best of their
ability it is feared that the business
section, too, has gone.
There has been no rain of conse-
quence in months. The timber is dry
and the underbrush is like so much
tinder. Knowlton also is endangered
and there. too, every available citizen
is fighting back the flames.
Rumors of loss Of life in the path
way of the red-tongued destroyer can
not be verified tonight. The loss to
timber interests of the state quite
apart from the property loss in the
towns, is enormous, the burned area
being miles In extent.
