Ernest Emerson. He had at the time
a dog OF the shepherd breed, about
one year OF age. A man from Benton
drove into the dooryard one day. See
ing the dog. he asked II he was for
sale, and a trade was finally effected,
the price being So In the bargain
Mr. Emerson was to box the animal
and take him to Madison for ship
ment. The following day, we packed
him in a good, neat box. leaving only
enough opening for ventilation, and
took him to Madison, On the way,
the box was covered with robe to
keep the dog warm. At Madison he
was left in an express car for ship
ment to Fairfield AT this station he
was met by his new owner who CARR
ed him five miles. The dog was then
taken out OF the box and kindly used,
but, of course, the first day was kept
chained up. He seemed to take we'll
to his surroundings, and on the second
day the owner gave him his liberty.
In ten minutes he had disappeared,
