A Sad Death


over by an automobile. Nigg was a
wonderful playful little dog, always
looking for someone to throw some
thing that he could run for and bring
back. No matter if it was nickel,
he would find it and restore it. He
liked playing with a ball and on this
Sunday new rubber ball was thrown
to the street for Nigg to get and he
got it and was proudly returning with
it when he was tumbled over by the
auto Getting up he walked to the
hotel and laid down and died. The
little fellow was liked for his playful
disposition and was a great favorite,
especially with children and travel
ing men. The little fellow ''if only a
dog" is missed in and around the
hotel and no one mourns more than
Joe Vogelsberg, his owner.
