When the time-limit ON low fees for
dog licenses expired last night, owners
Of $40 CANNES had appeared at city
hall and secured their registration tags
for 1915. The total is less than the av-
erage number received by April and
according to the conservative estimate
OF those who are supposed to keep tabs
on the doy population, there are many
more than a hundred dogs that viii have
to be licensed before May Is if they
wish to enjoy life, liberty and the pur
suit OF happiness in their own way.
From now on until May Is the cost of
female dogs is SO or twice
AS much as the price OF male licenses.
In atteml ing to negotiate passage
Of Stevens branch near the Granite street |
bridge this noon, Michael Keefe, the |
Young son of Mr.. and Mrs NJ. ID. Keefe |
1f Foster street failed to take account of /
The rising tide and was presently ma
rooned on a small island of pebbles in
The middle of the stream. While the /
water remained at low ebb, keefe felt /
sure he could cross the branch by leap |
ng from the bank to the little island |
md thence to the opposite bank. II was /
lfter he had reached the island that the
itream for some reason unexplained, be-
ran to rise rapidly. Story book nara
ives OF shipwrecked sailors on lonely 4
stands began to unreel themselves be-
ore the Keefe boys vision, when his
ather came along the bridge and dis
overed the lads plight. Mr.. Keefe went
o the transformer station of the Consol-
lated Lighting Co. nearby and after pro
uring rope, he lowered to the stony
Stand and pulled the boy up to the
ridge.
