been q falling of. AS to more serious
offenses, such as assaults. there has
been an apparent increase. but can
not say whether prohibition has any
thing to do with that or not. The mo-
tive back of these offenses rarely, II
ever, is a desire to obtain liquor. and
the men who commit these acts are
frequently abstainers. Few are charged
with being under the influence of
liquor when the crimes were COM
mitted."
From the reports therefore 1t would
appear that the situation In New York
State is decidedly similar to- that in
the country generally: That minor
crime. as 1t was known prior to prohi-
bition. has decreased. while major Of
fenses have increased lately, though
not as result of prohibition. On the
other hand, in New York as elsewhere,
prohibition appears to have created
it's own crimes and it's own class of
criminals.
Enforcement statistics being made
for the State as whole. it is not pos
sible to consider the rest of the State
as apart from New York city in deal
ing with these matters. In the whole
State in the last fiscal year the Fed
eral enforcement officers made 3,0S9
arrests. The other activities Of this
agency for the same period may be

DOG DRAGS DEAD BODY FROM
WATER.

There is a story of the remarkable
action of dog, related. in Tuesdays
Telegraph. A young man named Viers
was returning from n visit on SUM-
day night last, when his car skid
ded over steep bank, turning over
several times. Viers jumped or was
thrown out, and his body rolled into
the creek below. Nothing was known
of the tragedy until about 12 O'Clock
on Monday morning. A neighbor liv-
ing. close by was awakened by the
barking and bowling of his dog, which
was kept up at frequent intervals.
Concluding something was wrong the
farmer, lantern and gun in hand in
vestigated, and found the dog ut the
stream dragging at the lifcless body
OF ,Viers. The dog had dragged the
body against the bank, and could
move it no farther, and with almost
human intuition called for help, and
kept calling until help came. There
IS no reason to doubt the truth of
this story. "Our Dumb Animals con-
tains frequently amazing stories of
tho intelligence of animals. AS n rule
it will be found that mean dog gets
eanLtreatment and the converse is
true. Somebody has said that man
who will abuse his horse or dog will
abuse his wife and children, beat his
wife if she is smaller that he, for he
is always coward. Teach children
n the home and school to be kind to
animals.
Speaking of dogs brings up two
other incidents which may be of in
crest to dog lovers, both incidents
can be vouched for as true.
In a certain court n brutal man
was arrested, tried and fined heavily
FOR kicking dog to death. What the
magistrate said to that man was a
plenty.
Another case: A minister, conduct
'ng a revival-"all day" meeting in
che, country was annoyed by dogs in
and out of church during service. The
preacher and the hound met on the
ground during intermission. The
preacher jumped on the dog with
both feet, as we say, and STAMPED
the hound dreadfully. The owner of
the dog went to his buggy. got his
whip, and slashed the preacher in the
presence of all the people. The meet
ing was broken up for that day.
John Vernon, over at Bandy, knows
how to treat 'em. He can dispose of
them with small injury to the dog,
and the least interruption to the SER
vices. He waits for the dog to get up
at the danger point, swings a long
kick. misses the dog of course, but
keeps right on with the singing. Moth
ing but little rough treatment will
do for those CANNES who are used to

A HORSE, FRUIT
JAR And A Man
Officers Capture Moonshiners
Near Tip Top-A Near Ac-
cident After All Night
Search.

Federal agent Mutter. Sergeant
Thompson and William Boothe, of
Tazewcll, made clean up in the Tip
Top neighborhood Sunday night,
and brought in a horse, a half gal
lon Of liquor, three or four pistols
and the we'll known Andy Day, the
king of boot leggers of the border.
The raiding party were out all Sun
day night, and came across the
men near where still had been in
recent operation. Two men had been
arrested and were being watched by
Boothe while Mutter and Thompson
went to look for the still. While they
were. hunting for the outfit they
heard Boothe demanding that some
one throw uup their hands, and on
hurrying back they discovered that
Bill had STOPPED fellow coming
and when he was searched a half
gallon fruit jar with some of the
"Pizen" in it was found in his pock-
ct. He, the horse and the fruit Jar
were all gathered in in the name of
the law, and brought to Tazewell.
The rider violently protested that the
horse was innocent Of any wrong do
ing and shouldn't be subjected to the
modification of being consfiscated.
Inc rider further protested that he
was not Intentionally violating the
law, but was riding along the, road
when he discovered fruit jar be-
hind a log and saw no harm in pipck-
ing it up. He had also sampled its
contents freely and had as much un-
de,. der his hide as was in the glass re-
ceptacle. Day wa staken to West
Virginia where Uncle Sam wants him

in Recent Election.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The Paul
Harrison election contest probably
will be taken up in the house this
week and disposed of by seating of

the house adjourned that the case
would probably be taken up one day
this week.

TINT the vote. Judge Harrison was
awarded the certificate and is the sit
ting member. He of course has the
privilege of being heard. Captain
