DOG KEPT VIGIL
FOR DEAD OWNER
STAYS AT ENTRANCE OF BANK
WHERE MASTER WAS STRICKEN
SIX YEARS AGO

Anaconda, Mont, April 4.-Shep, the
dog that has waited in front Of tue
DAILY bank six long years for his mas
ter, is dead. He was run over by al
automobile and was Q seriously injur-
ed that he was shot. Six years ago
Shops master, assheep herder, came to
town after a season on the range. He
brought the dog with him Shep waiI-
cd outside the bank while his maste-
went inside to cash a check. While IL
side the man was stricken With apop-
uexy, placed on a stretcher and taken
to hospital in an ambulance.
1t did not look natural to shep, but
he followed the ambulance TO the hos
pital and waited outside for several
days The master died a few hours
after reaching the hospital. Shop
saw the funeral procession, but it was
unusual, and he still waited. Then
he remembered that his master he'd
gone into the bank the last time he
had seen him, so he went and curlcd
up on the front steps and waited.
For months he would look up ex-
pectantly every time someone cane
out of the building, but his hope be-
gan to wane. In spite Of this he
kept a constant vigil, and had mads
the front Of the bank his home for.
six years, only leaving long enough
to get something to eat.
He grew old and dealt during his
long wait. Each year President E. u.
Brixman of the bank paid his tax "a
the city, but he still waited for the
sheepherder who did not come out

TEE
AEON WILL GET STATE
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
SlatOn Will Run For Senate, Provided
West Does Not Offer-Says There
Are No Strings Tied to Appointments
of ValdOsta Man to Succeed Bacon.

Atlanta, Ca, April 4.-(Special) /,
The state primary will be held on We'd
nesday, August 10. This date was Sc.
lerted without controversy 2nd seems
to be generally acceptable 10 all CT
the candidates so far announced 1t is
about the same time as the other state
primaries.
So fully four and a half months viii
now intervene before the primary, CIV
irg the voters a long, and what viii
probably be hot campaign.
The state democratic convention VII
he held in Macon on September list.
This was the decision of the state
executive committe here today.
Sentiment for Macon was strong
from the start, and it was assured al
most from the opening of the commit
tee session that this action would be
taken.
The convention was held in Macon
in 1906 and again in 1912. Both were
rather historic conventions, from
political viewpoint
1t means that fully 1900 delegates
and politicians will be in Macon on
September 1st
1t is believed for certain that Gov
ornor Slaton will this afternoon an
nounce his candidacy for the United
States senate for the unexpired term
Senator West will not be a candidate,
II is thought now.
SIatOn's Statement.
The only statement made so far by
Governor Slaton for publication is
q have appointed Col. West, arI
Il he wishes to succeed himself and
offers for the place, I will not do So
If Senator West wishes to make the
ace it will be time enough for me to
make known my intentions.
"I have not mentioned the matter
to Senator West directly or indirect
ly. l rendered him the appointment
without any strings whatever tied to
it. If he should decide to make th2
race, will support him.
Whatever decision l make in the
premises will depend entirely upHn
his conclusion"
Wilson Endorsed
Over the persistent opposition Of
G. Rufus Hutchens, of Rome, and by
q vote of "a to 7, the state democratic |
executive committee adopted this mo II
ing a resolution congratulating Prssi
dent Woodrow Wilson on the success
Of his program for repeal of the free

BY unanimous vote the committee
adopted another resolution congratu
lating the president on the enactment
of the new tariff and currency laws
