Letters received yesterday indicate
that tho interest in tho Wild prow'cr =
not confined To mon. Girls from I""ai
store say they arc going 70 siaSe
beauty contest and raise fund 10 he
offered ~ q reward for the capture ot
the Mozart animal. Two young ladies'
OF woodsdale. about 10 return TO school
after a summer OF ennu! and Other so
cial diversions. express a desire 70 OBJ
tain \ thrill by camping on Mozart and
hunting the monster 10 its lair.
What Is perhaps tho most plausible
theory yet advanced Is tn, .. Mr.. w. ].
Johns. OF a. Fifteenth street. who Is
convinced that tho amin! is descend
ant of tho famous Siberian Cheese
Hounds owned BY 10 !ate Mike War
ner. formerly d!sp' Aser Of beverages
ut tho NcI/ure house. Mike and his
cheese hounds were famous all through
this section Of the country and after his
death tho hounds escaped as described
IN tho letter. That tho Mozart monSter
Ia one OF their descendants appears 10
be a reasonable theory.
Letters received yesterday follow:
A Siberian Cheese Hound
Eiitor Tnte,l!gencer:
noticed In your paper the contr"-
yersy about the strange animal seen r"-
Gently on Eozart hill. From its strange
actions I think It must he one Of the
pair OF famous Siberian cheese hounds
owned by tho Late Mike Warner. the
fomus dispenser Of beverages at the
Mcclure hotel When Mike worked for
MCLAUGHLIN G mckinley a. tho corner OF
Twelfth and Water streets. he had n
pair that attracted tho attention OF the
whole country. and they would cat 10
food except Limburcer or RoQucfort
cheese. Warner was a great Elk and
made I, a point TO attend every Elk
convention or reunion and took his
famous pets along: and It is needless I"
say they attracted q good deal OF atten-
ton.
After Mixes death. a road-house keep
ar in Elm Grove took care OF them and
kept them IN n box outside the salon:
but a drunk fell over tho box ono night
and the animals escaped and were never
recaptured.
And I am sure from the description
II must be a descendant Of this famous
pair OF Siberian cheese hounds o: the
late eos that has been causing 40
much comment. This story can DO con-
ftrmed by Harry Mcclure ond smoX
Healy. who have fed these animals this
most delicious edible many times. These
animals we're given Warher by the late
Major Burke. Of the Buffalo Bill circus.
who had O great affection for Warner
and esteemed him highly on account OF
his ability to mix western swi1zle 10
the majors taste.
Very truly,
W J. JOHNS.
