avenue and West Railroad streets. AS
far as known the dog is still at large
and has bitten several dogs III the
ed as medium sized, a cross between
brindle and bull dog. 1t wore no
collar and the owner is unknown.
1t was first seen Wednesday even
ing by Mrs. S. A. Ewing of 907 North
Topeka avenue in her cellarway. She
thought the dog showed symptoms of
hydrophobia and notified the police.
However. before the, officers came the
dog got away.
About Thursday noon while Al
Gurtler, city carrier from Station "a,
was passing near North Fillmore street
and West Railroad street he heard
dogs fighting in weeds near by. Then
he saw a brindle bulldog fighting with
a dog belonging to George Parker,
negro policeman. Mr.. Gurtler says the
stages of hydrophobia. The hair along
its backbone was all bristled up, its
mouth was wide open and it snapped
at every dog that came near.
Finally It loped off with tail between
its legs down West Railroad street and
then went north on Topeka avenue
Mr.. Parker shot at it with his re-
volver but failed to hit 1t.
Mrs. Anna Fisher of SPA West Cor
don street today wrote to Mrs. Sarah
Fuller. a relative, at Van Davia, o.,
regarding a fortune which may be
due to Mrs Fishers father, A. r. EN-
mons of 722 West Gordon street. The
probable fortune will possibly come
from the lease of $50 acres of land
in the heart of Baltimore, Md. The
property was leased for SO years over
100 years ago by Lord Baltimore Cal
vert. Mrs. EmmOns, deceased, is a
descendent. She is supposed to be the
granddaughter Of one OF the twelve
daughters of a daughter of Lord Bal
tfrnore. Mrs. Fisher, in her letter,
asked about the truth of this suppo-
sition 1t appears that the daughter
of Lord Baltimore married Mr..
Rricker against his wish. For this
reason her father gave her only a Few
thousand a year and wilIed the money
accruing from the land to the daugh-
ters' heirs.
Then he leased the land. At that
time, it is said, he deposited $l4f,OOO
in three banks in Baltimore, the sum
coming from his estates, TO pe given
to the heirs.
Mr.. Emmons has papers which he
thinks prove all this and also show
that his wife was one OF the helrs-
This would make his son, Martin
