Greyhound Bites
 a Circus Emp1oye

For many months Richard Mou1ton has been travelling with a circus that is now showing in the west end and has always been on friendly terms with the Russian grey hounds, so much so. that he has never been harmed while playing with them. But last evening while playing with one of the animals, it turned on him and sank its teeth into his left knee. Mou1- ton freed himself and applied iodine to the wound.
 This morning he applied at the emergency hospital for treatment and Dr. B. w. Paine dressed the wound. Modltoni was at a loss to state why the dog should bite him but vowed that in the future he would keep away from the greyhounds of Russian extraction.

TURNS TABLES
 ON BANDIT BUT HE ESCAPES HIM
Initials on Gun, Police Fix pect to Catch Man Who
 Held Up Michaels.

The initials ''J. E. H." carved on the handle of an army revolver is the chief clue that the members of the detective department are working upon to ap- prehend the man who about 11:3O last night held up Joseph Michaels in his saloon at Newf1e1d avenue and Eagle street, but because of MichaePs nerve. failed to get anything.
 Michaels was standing behind the bar when the man entered by a side door. No one else was in the place and the man ordered a glass of beer. He presented a $1O bill for payment and as Michaels turned to make change, he saw, through the mirror at the back of the bar, a revolver pointed at him. Though commanded to give up his money and watch, Michaels in stead grasped the gun and while grap- bling for it's possession, a shot was fired, grazing his hand and shattering the mirror.
 Soon Michae1s wrested the revolver from the hold up man, but the latter broke MichaelsI hold and fled from the place The properietor fired three shots but none took effect.
 The police have a good description of the stranger and because of the re- vo1ver clue, it is thought that he may soon be located.

BERLIN INSISTS WARSPITE SUNK
 IN NAVAL FIGHT

Berlin, June 7.-The assertion that the British dreadnaught Warspite was sunk in the North Sea battle last week is again made, notwithstanding British denials, in despatches from KieF to the Overseas News Agency.
 '"These despatches state that the Warspite was sunk during the day battle by the German battleship Koe- nig," the news agency says. "It was observed from the Koenig that the Warspite had been damagedN badly. Then there came a great explosion and the Warspite sank rapidly.
 Survivors from the German cruiser Elbing say that the German subma- rines played an important part in the battle. The sea was thrown into commotion by falling shells. Every where bodies were floating.
 Sailors state that the report that the German ships fled is ridiculous. In the German feet were several vessels which were slower than the British and on that account it would have been impossible for the German fleet to es- cape if the result of the battle had been such as to place the British in a position to pursue the Germans.
 ""The sailors report that there' was uninterrupted fighting for IT hours. They had no knowledge of time except that bread was passed around once."
