Pet Dog Goes Mad, Mistress
Saved by Bullets OF Police

Alone in her home, 143 Jefferson
Street, Newark, save for Browny, her
terrier, Mrs. John Yanna seated her
self at her desk yesterday to write
some letters. The portieres behind her
rustled and she turned. Browny was
coming toward her, but it was not the
Browny she knew.
Browny's eyes were fixed in malev@
olent stare that centered on her mis-
tress, though the dogs head swung
slowly from side to side and she was
stalking into the room with stiff
legged yet springy gait that left her
prepared for sudden leap at every
step.
"Down, Browny, down!" commanded
Mrs. Yanna, startled.
Browny continued purposefully for
ward, her lips curling back from her
teeth and q continuous snarling growl
sounding in her throat Mrs. Yanna
rose and walked around the table, in
tending to go to another room and shut
Browny out. The dog followed her, in
creasing its pace, until Mrs. Yanna, to
keep beyond those threatening fangs,
broke into run
So did Browny They raced around
the room, Npsetting furniture and
arousing the neighborhood with shrieks
and barks. Several times Browny
leared and was avoided hv her mistress

speeia, pispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, May f2.--Temptation in
the form of sS5,o0o in Liberty bonds
sought out the Rev. Father Anthony
Gorek, head of an impoverished Roman
Catholic parish in New Chicago, Ind.
To-day the priest, held as an accessory
to theft, told United States Secret
Service agents the dramatic story of
how he had fought losing battle with
the seductive bonds and had finally
surrendered. He had spent $1,14o of
the money to pay the debts of his
parish and to buy food for his iobless
parishioners.
The Secret Service agents found the
bonds, amounting to $4,000 less just
the $1,140, where the priest said he
had hidden them. On the information
which he gave. Mrs. Wanda Urbortis,
q former parishoner, was arrested in
Toledo. 1t is thought her confession
will clear the s1,000,0o0 mail robbery
in the Ohio city in which bonds were
stolen.
1t was through Mrs. Urbotis, ac-
cording to Father Gorek, that he met
the temptation which, coming at a
crucial period, proved greater than all
the restraints and vows of his calling.
