Kept Pet Bulldog In Bombproof Cellar
Duyin0 German Aerial Siege of WARSAW

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. -
So worried wan Mrs. f. ]. Dugan. wife
OF the famous jockey, that her pet
bulldog Honey Boy" would be killed
by bombs in Warsaw. where she and
her husband were enveloped by the
RUSSO German siege operations, that
she had special bombproof cellar
constructed for him. Honey Boy" Is
valued at $1,000.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dugan and their pug.
nosed champion have just returned
here from the war zone. via the
Orient.
Il was worried nearly to death over
He ey Boy" said the wife OF the
jockey whose earnings were over $780,
600 a year. I'VE kept him locked up
In that bombproof cellar nearly all
the time, and l often stayed down
there with him just to keep him COM
pany."
Dugan was riding for Duke Michael
Lazareff in Warsaw at the outbreak
Of the war.
"Zeppelins were constantly hover
ing over the city" said Mrs. Dugan,
describing their experiences during
the siege. Zone Of the bombs struck
Duke Lazareff's stable and killed most
OF his horses. During the German at
tack the wounded were brought into
the city by hundreds-almost as fast
as they went out to the fighting line"
In leaving the Dugans were COMPEL
ed to walk most of the way from War
saw to Moscow, tramping through
snow drifts most OF the way with moth
lug to eat.
