Bulldog Makes
Burglars Hustle
Gives Them Cordial and Impressive
Reception at the PeytOn i
Pharmacy.

A broken skylight above, blood stains on
the floor and the Jaws Of a ferocious Eng
lish bulldog, fragments Of clothing about
the floor-these are clroumstantial evil
dences that some burglar or burglars
visited the Peyton Pharmacy, 7O South
Sixteenth street, some time between mid
night and opening hours Tuesday.
Evidently the burglars entered by smash
ing in the skylight and dropping to the
floor. Evidently Mr., Bulldog was prompt
on the scene and evidently he handled the
visitors very roughly. They must have
managed to escape as they entered,
through the skylight, for no door or win
dow was opened or disturbed and there
was no other means Of exit.
The proprietor Of this drug store keeps
a very faithful bulldog, docile when off
duty, but exceedingly ferocions during
work hours. And it was his busy day
when these intruders came.

which leaves him but twenty-eiEht more
miles to go TO make out his fifty miles
assignment.
Barring a stone bruise or two, the major
is none the worse for his pedestrian tour,
and he started out again Tuesday morning
with Lieutenant Miller for the second

cavalcade a short distance in the rear for
emergencies in case the stone bruses get
any worse. In the meantime Major Lords
Omaha friends have seen to II that the
wagon is properly equipped with refresh

There is a vague rumor running about
army headquarters that Major Lords last
request OF General Morton, before the lat

de-camp should be assigned as pace-maker
for the hike. instead of the infantry aide.
The walk will be completed Wednesday,
and Major Lord will be accompanied by
his son and Lieutenant Miller.
Under the new rulings regarding physical
endurance tests the officers are required to
cover fifty miles IN twenty hours. to be
distributed over three days, or an average
of seven hours walk daily during the test.

Omaha officials Of the Burlington and

and General Manager Holdrege Of the

They both declared that they considered
no news to be good news and did not look

firemen did not intend to strike and that
their actions were all a bluff.
