way Of the alley back OF Kenyon
Street.
Dutch" Spots Trouble
In the rear OF 1864 Kenyon
Dutch" came to sudden STOP sat
down and began to growl. Oriani
looked about to see what had
annoyed his canine friend but saw
nothing. He urged Dutch" to
come along home and eat some
luscious liver. Dutch" impolitely
refused by showing his teeth and
growing menacingly.
The officer became stern and or
dered the dog on. No results.
Then he threa tened and smackei
him and pushed him with his foot.
Dutch" stood or rather sat mis-
ground. Finally, impressed by the
dogs queer actions Oriani decided
to investigate. He found q vacant
house, with the kitchen door un-
locked. Entering and hearing a
noise on the second floor, Oriani
went up stairs to investigate.
There was a Noise Of saving and
pounding in the bath room. and,
although unarmed other than with
q fair.sized stick, the policeman
pushed the door open and claims he
caught a colored man in the very
act of saving the lead pipes.
Wagon Ready for Loot
The prisoner, Daniel Brown, OF
sos r st. N. W., is being held at
the Tenth precinct for investigation.
A survey of 1864 Kenyon st. showed
that all lead pipes on three floors
and in the basement of the house
had been cut. A wagon was parked
in the alley to carry off the loot.
When Dutch" got back home he
received an extra ration Of liver.
Oriani claims the growls Dutch"
emitted when he refused to obey his
masters voice, and foot, in reality
was vocal rendition OF the "Pris.
oner's Song"

SIOUX CITY, Iowa. Feb. s.
Belief that Mrs. George Solomon,
Al, mother OF nine children, was
thrust head-hrst into the furnace of
her home, was expressed by police
today with the coroner's report that
the body bears evidence Of fierce
struggle.
Coroner j. H, Robbins said he
found the woman's right wrist had
been fractured. The head bore
evidence Of blows and other wounds.
Police believe the woman was
pushed into the furnace while still
breathing, but perhaps unconscious.
George, the 73-year old husband,
is in custody. He claims the death
was accidental. Solomon has not
explained why he failed to notify
his children or neighbors of the
death or why he dragged the body
to a corner of the basement and
covered it with ashes. Y
