BURGLAR KILLED BY HOUNDS
Dogs Corner Robber in Shed Near
Mt. Vernon, IT,, and Tear
Him to Pieces.

Mount Vernon, MA pack of
half-mad bloodhounds, trailing a
man suspected of burglary at Car
rier Mills, broke away from their
keeper, cornered their victim in an
empty shed and tore him to pieces
The local authorities have no clew
to the identity of the dead man. His
face and body were so badly lacerat-
ed by the fangs of the hounds that
the remains bore only faint resem-
blance to the body of a human be-
ing.
The house at Carrier Mills had
been robbed while the family was
away. When its members returned
they sent for John Roberts, the own
er of the hounds, and had him put
his pack on the burglars trail.
The dogs found the scent fresh and
took up the track, baying loudly.
About a mile out of the village
they became wildly excited, and Rob-
erts, already tired by the chase, lost
his hold on the leasch. Immediately
the dogs rushed off and soon were
far in the distance.
When Roberts, coming over the
top of a hill, saw the dogs again
their victim was in plain sight and
they we're bearing down on him rap
idly.
The man took refuge in the shed.
He was only a few steps ahead OF
the hounds when he reached there,
and he attempted to climb into a
loft six or seven feet above the
ground. He was so worn out by
running, however, that before he
could Chamber out of reach three of
the dogs had sprung upon him and
pulled him down. Roberts ran to
the she'd but the dogs had killed
the man before he arrived.

NERVE POWER IS TO WIN
Next Great Naval War VIII DEPEND
on Health of officers and
Men.

Victory in the next great naval war
viii be won by the people possessing
the greatest store of healthy nerve
power. That is the conviction of the
German navy department. according to
the Marine Rundschau.
The naval authorities, It says, are
deyoting special attention to the ques-
ton of keeping in perfect health the
nerves of officers and men on war
ships. Care is taken that the condi-
tons in which the crews live shall be
as perfect as possible from a hygienic
point of view; that the food is ap-
petizing, varied and nutritious, that
the men take proper exercise, have
the necessary rest and recreation and
are kept in good spirits,
The ships doctors are also lnstruc
ted to watch very carefully for any
signs of nervous strain, and Then such
is found the cause is to be thorough
Iy inquired into Everything possible is
done to insure a sufl cheney of sound
and healthy men.
The average OF our crews" the
Rundschau concludes, 'is quite equal
10 the exceedingly severe demands
that naval life makes and must make
and promises to accomplish In case Of
war all that healthy men can accom-
plish. Our doctors must see hat the
standard Is maintained. No danger
however, exists
Nervous diseases can become dan
gerous only to tired nations which can
not replace the men who fall out.
Germany is not tired and not exhaust
ed; her strength is unbroken and UNI
shaken"
