SHOW DOGS
KILLED BY
MEDICINE
Seventeen Animals Valued
at $4,000 Killed By
Horse Pills.

Seventeen trained dogs belong
ing to Barnum & Bailey's Circus
worth $1,000, Wefe killed last
night by horse medicine, admin
istered to them by their keeper,
James A. Pau, of 149 Norman
street, to relieve their suffering
from cramps. Notwithstanding
Pfau's fearful protestations that
his act was terrible mistake he
was turned over to the police and
held for the city court tomor-
row.
AS far as could be learned
from the headquarters of the cir
Gus there were 80 dogs, in the
act, as well as several ponies and
Pfau had charge of the troupe
which was in training to go on
the road with the show this COM
ing spring. Owing to the cold
. weather the animals have not
had the exercise that they usual
ly get and when they left their
kennels yesterday several of them
were suffering with cramps.
Pfau thought that he would
relieve their suffering and he cut
up several horse pills, and gave
them to the troupe of dogs. This
morning II of the valuable ca
mines were found dead. One of the
dead animals was considered
very valuable, $1,000 having
been refused for him by the cir
Gus people a few weeks ago.
Pfau has been in the employ of
the Barnum & Bailey Circus for
the past three years and his rec
ord has been of the very best
during that time.

German troops on the Russian
front are being allowed to go home
on furlough. These soldiers are then
transferred to recruiting stations and
sent to the western front.
'The troops are taken in this way,
man by man, for two reasons-first
because it deceives the Russians, and
second because the eastern troops
have been so influenced by the Rus
sian revolutionary propaganda that
the German military chiefs have de-
cided to separate the men and scat

ed the weather bureau here today that
the Monongahela river was rising rap
idly from Fairmont, W. Va, north, and
