WAR STARTED
BY GCATCHER
Interference of Police Only
Thing That Saved Official
Warden Here

Small boys, proverbial torment.rs
as well as fierce defenders of dogs,
together with older lovers of the
canine family, are gleeful today over
an occurrence yesterday which IN
volved the city dog-catcher and a
crowd of Italians, one of whom was
the owner of a pup. The ensnarers
of unwary dogs caught not wisely
but too well. and only the timely in
reference of the police saved the
city from advertising for a new oii-
cial.
1t seems that on the outskirts Of
the city, in the vicinity OF Brace
avenue, the city catcher of ur l.
censed and unmuzzled dogs was
cruising about with his wheeled cage
looking for canine victims. He sp;ed
a dog who had evidently expert
enced no previous contact with dog
%catchers. Wheedling his way up to
the unsuspecting animal, the catch
er of dogs swung the fatal ne: and
had another squirming prisoner.
AS he bundled the unfortunate
pup into the cage, however. a howl
of rage broke loose not far away
and the dog-catcher turned in time
to see a crowd of Italians rapidly
approaching. One of the men had
seen his dog ensnared and had rail-
lied his comrades to the rescue.
No dogs are worth So apiece to

uous resistance in vie. of the fac,
that the proposed line will parallel
the company's trolley tracks. 1t il
understood that the Perth Amboy
Board of Aldermen and the township
committee of Woodbridge have
granted the privilege. In view OF tbs
attitude of the trolley company
however, it is likely that the next
move, before the utility commission
will be the hardest II complete.
Heretofore the opposition OF n
Public Service has been enough to
tie up such proceedings for some
time, but adding to the difficulty o.
the new project is the avowed inten.
ton of the utility board to grant no
bus permits, the routes of which
w-uld parallel already existing
transportation lines. What their at
titude will be in this instance is not
known.

the catcher and his revenue is d.
rectly in proportion to his diligence.
Neither wishing to give up his law
full prey nor engage the angry crowd
in a decisive engagement, the dog
catcher exercised his ~prerogative
and sought safety in flight, like the
ancient Gauls before Caesars val
liant hosts.
With the Italians in hot pursuit
the dog-catcher fed urging his steed
to more and more speed. Some of
the pursuers halted for ammunition
and the chase continued with the
driver of the wagon being pelted
with tomatoes and other over-ripe
fruit.
The driver turned into the city
stables, full tilt and hoping for more
speed. A quick manoeuvre and the
doors were locked. and with the ex-
cited mob outside the dog-catcher
called the police. Upon the arrival
of Detective John Murray and
Chauffeur Frank Burke a compro-
mise was effected. The d~og-catcher
gave up his canine prisoner and the
gang dispersed without wreaking
vengeance upon the offender.

MEETING OF CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE MONDAY
Every Member Requested to be Pres
ent to Hear Committee
Reports

At the instance of the board of gov
ernors, which met this morning, Pres
ident C. G. Rose, of the Marion Coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce, has called
special meeting of the organization
Monday night at eight o'clock for the
purpose of hearing reports from the
membership committees. The men,
bership campaign has extended over
period much longer than was antic-
ipated and it is the desire of the
chamber to bring the drive to a close
as quickly as possible. Every mem
ber is being urgently requested to be
present at the meeting Monday night.
The meeting vitality concerns the fu-
ture of the organization which is the
only organization of its kind in the
county.
To the extent that memberships
have been readily signed up as fast as
the individuals and firms could be
seen by the committees, the drive has
been a complete success. 1t has not
been success, however, in that it is
not yet completed, and it is for the
purpose of putting the drive over with
a final rush that Monday nights
meeting is being called. Only little
over one-half of the budget of the or
ganization for 1929 has been taken
care of by the members 80 far signed
up.

is PROBABLY
TAKING A CAMPING TRIP

Dunnellon people are mystified and
somewhat excited over the unexplain-
ed absence of Ernest Turnipseed,
cashier of the Citizens Bank of that
city. Sometime Saturday night or
Sunday morning he put his family and
a camping outfit in his car and left
the town. He gave no warning of his
intended absence to his employers,
nor, so far as is known, any of his
friends, and no one who knows him
reports having seen him since.
Mr.. Turnipseed, being bank off,
cial, the public was at once bound to
surmise that his absence had a sinis-
ter meaning. But, on examination,
his books and cash were found to be
correct.
The most probable explanation Of
his absence is that he left without
warning for reasons that he desired
to keep to himself. He has relatives
in Miami and he told some one of his
friends that he expected to be in that
city within the next thirty days. That
and the camping outfit he carried
along makes it reasonable to suppose
that he intends to travel thru the
country to Miami or some other place,
camping on the way.
Mr.. Turnipseed is well known in
Ocala as well as in Dunnellon, and
much liked in both places. He is a
young man with a wife and two or
three children. He and his family
lived in Dunnellon with his wife's
mother, Mrs. Hollandsworth, and she
has no explanation of the sudden
exodus of her son-in-law, daughter
and their children.
