Bloodhounds Kept Busy. Out Three
Times Within Week.


Hunter Anderson and his blood
hounds have had a busy week.
Thursday night three boys living
southwest oftOwn borrowed Warren
Fuqua's roadster without his per
mission and spent the night in
Hannibal They pushed the car
out of the lot and down the road
some distance before they started
the engine and when they returned
they left the car standing in the
road some distance from the house
When Mr. Fuqua discovered what
had been done he called Hunter
Anderson to bring his dogs and
they were at the car about $50
Friday morning The dogs went
right to the home of one of the
boys and he confessed and told who
was with him. The boys were
compelled to pay $4,000 for dam-
age to the car and services of the
dogs. This was the first run the
dogs had made for four months and
they made it like they had been in
constant training. Sunday after.
noon about 4:30 o'clock jim Jones
who lives ID miles south of Mon
roe phoned to Mr.. Anderson to
bring the dogs out. Someone had
been in his watermelon patch and
maliciously destroyed 200 melons.
The misdemeanor was not discov.
cred until Sunday tho it had been
done some time before. The dogs
followed the trail for about seven
miles, crossing the river a number
of times. They worked all night
much of the time wading in water
but the guilty party escaped. The
dogs were badly cut and bruised
on this trip. Monday evening about |
7 O'Clock Mr. Anderson was notified
that two suits of clothing and side
of bacon had been taken from
caboose while in Monroe. The loss
was discovered about the time the
train reached Palmyra but as the
car was gone there was nothing
to work from When given a
chance the dogs will find the guilty
party. The old dogs and their 10
pups held quite reception at An
derson's store Friday afternoon.
The pups are now a month old.
Some of them have been sold and
will be delivered when old enough
to be taken from the mothet
