An old friend of the editor writes
like this: In May this year while en-
route to Berea by car lost a valuable
collie dog pup, about six months old.
Dog was in the back seat when left
here and where he jumped or fell out
will always be mystery. Rather a
windy day and being in hurry to
catch a party I had no occasion to
stop this side of Berea and when did
stop just after crossing the bridge
turned around to speak t othe dog
and found my passenger had left me.
Friday the 18th I was in Fargo and
coming back the local stopped for
some little time in Valley City. While
there I noticed a lady come to the de-
pot and following her a collie dog. l
got off the coach to get good look
at the dog when the lady came out
and passed up the steps of the car, as
the crossing was blocked and went on
south. Had no time to speak to her,
but got good look at dog and there
is no question in my mind about that
animal being my lost pup. Thought
perhaps you might be able to tell me
who down there owns such a dog.
Scotch collie with tip on tail, white
breast, black mark on tail near where
same joins body, answers to name of
Tip. Offer SIS reward for recovery
of dog.

must be largely volunteer as there are
no salaried officers of the commission.
