Dogs Lost Near Washington
Sometimes Recovered Only by Chance

him is very difficult IL not impos.
sible task. The kindest act one could
do would be to fasten the lost animal
and drop the owner a letter.
Washington is in the heart Of a.
fine fox.hunting country. Ever since
the days Of George Washington. who
owned some excellent hounds, and de.
voted much time to the chase, foxes
nave been plentiful within q radius
Two years ago North Carolina
brother sent Tweat and Tot. two
dandy little foxhounds, to me. These
dogs were just IA months old, and had
never been away from home. Their
good blood and instincts made them
ut to cope with the red fox that dwells
on Rock Creek. Cabin John or other
well known tributaries to the Potomac
River. Eager to see these aristocrats
OF the field perform, / took them out
too soon after they arrived-hefore
they had become accustomed to their
new surroundings-jump a. fox, a,
Wide-ranging fellow, and Tweat failed
to come in after the hunt.
For days those Of us who cared for
her travelled over the territory that
we had hunted and thought she
might be In, blew our horns to call
her In, but never found her. She
seemed to have disappeared from the
face Of the earth. Six weeks later Col.
Clay Edwards Of Rockville, whose col.
lar she wore, received a letter from J,
B., Johnston of Sperryville, Va, say.
ing that q little white dog bearing his
name had shown up there and
neighbor of his was caring for her.
Tweat had gone 100 miles on her way
to the only home she had ever known.
n 1nvxr nA a. l.
round trip registered 225 miles.
Tweat was the only one OF many
Southern.bred hounds I have seen
here to make her way through Wash.
ington, cross the river and show such
progress. She must have gone
through at night when all was quiet,
Tweat was killed near Rockville last
Fall by an automobile.
I. l.. Faison of Faison, N. c..
shipped Fly, one Of his favorite hounds,
to a friend in Maryland to hunt. She
came with name on the collar plate.
Her first chase in Maryland, up Rock
Creek near Kensington, caused her
undoing. She. did not come in with
the pack after the fox was denned.
Two weeks later her North Carolina
owner received letter from a. Wash
ington woman saying that she had
collie q little boy had found near the
Seventh street wharves, and his collar
bore his name.
An investigation revealed that Fly.
on her way back South, had come
down Georgia avenue, gone to the
river, but could not cross. Somebody
took the collar from her neck and
put 1t on q collie. A good foxhound
was lost forever to her owners when
the person stripped the marker from
her neck. From that time on she
was just an ordinary-loo black
and tan hound. medium sizs. With
one cooked ear.

crueltv Of It. Common thieves steal
}Ine snortinr dogs and run them into
town and obscurity. Many Of these
appropriated hunters are ultimately
turned loose here to roam about the
treets and perish one way or another.
Very few Of them are as good rustlers
or foragers as Bonnie Kate proved
herself to be.
MANY pathetic stories of lost dogs
in and about Washington are told by
hunters, who would give q great deal
to recover them.
Representative Henry Smithwick OF
Florida is a fox hunter and revels In
hounds, At his farm in Montgomery
County, Md, he keeps from 10 to 20
couples. Now and then he loses a
dog. Some time ago, on his way home
from the Capitol, he came face to
face with Sweetheart, a valuable
young hound, that had failed to come
in after q chase. Before falling into
the hands Of Mr.. Smithwick. Sweet
heart had been kept in a kennel In
Southwest Washington. She was lost
near Silver Spring and made her way
back to the city, where she became
confused and was lost for five months.
Like Bonnie Kate, she struggled for
existence. and won, but was most un-
happy.
Bruce and Bragg, two beautifully
bred young hounds, came to me from
Georgia. They were full of life and
time we turned them loose-at the
Brandegee farm on River road, i've
miles from Washington-they ran
wild and got away from their master.
In making a search for them ]
learned that they came toward Wash.
ington. That fact alarmed me. felt
that they were more likely to be
recovered Nif they remained in the
country. Wv. b. Stacks. hunter, Of
Bethesda, Md. told me he had seen
them moving this way. and some mis-
chievous fellow had stuck Bruce's
head through an old straw hat, and
he wore 1t like q collar. I inserted
an advertisement In the lost column
OF The Star, requesting anybody who
saw these wayward dogs to pick them
up and notify the owner. That after.
noon a small boy at Cabin John read
the notice and told his father he had
seen that very pair Of dogs near the
old canal a few minutes before. A
brief search resulted in locating Bruce
and Bragg, and the lad tied them up
and held them until could get my
hands on them.

Up on Varnum street, near the
Sixteenth Street Bridge, reside three
wise little schoolboys. One day, about
a year ago, while playing in the
woods north of Rock Creek Park
they made friends with long legged
reddish hound and gave him some
food. The next day they found the
dog at the same place, soliciting
something to eat. One Of them looked
at the collar, and saw on it CLAY

'All right" shouted the boy.
An hour later, when drove out

boys sitting on a high embankment,
but on drawing close found it to be

hound that had just arrived from the
South. and at the end of a race de.

the school children caused him to

everybody would do as those boys did
many valuable dogs would be re-
covered.

- lemon foxhound. two years old.
She came to Washington from
IL North Carolina six or seven
months ago, and was kenneled
at the old Nourse place, on Wisconsin
avenue, now owned by DR.. Cary T..
Grayson. She Is an aristocrat Of the
July strain. T. G. DePriest, who had
her shipped from Asheville. was very
fond of her. He owned her distin-
guished sire, Crowder.
This young and promising hound.
like most of her kind, had an aversion
for Washington. the big city, and
longed to return to the mountains Of
the South. where she could roam at
will and chase rabbits. foxes and deer.
Hounds are bred for the country

fines of an urban community.
One night Ave months ago. on re-
turning from hunt in Maryland, Mr..
DePriest, in transferring his dogs
from the automobile to the kennel,
she disappeared In the dark, and
never came back. All efforts to find
her failed. No one had seen her. She
had been lost several times before.
but IN the country, and each time she
showed up at some friendly farm
house, and the name on her collar
revealed her owner, who was notified
of her whereabouts. But the last time
she wandered into the dog life OF this
great city and became bewildered.
One morning two weeks ago, driv-

Circle to Tenleytown, saw some die.

though I had seen Bonnie Kate but
once, and then just for second. I
jumped at the conclusion that she was
the dog in front of me. The children
were trying to drive her away from
them. I stopped my car, got out,
called her to me and looked at the
collar and saw that the nameplate
read, "T. G. DePriest, 1895 Wisconsin
avenue, Washington. D. c."

PALMER IS ACCUSED OF
 USING POLITICAL PULL
Former Alien Property Custodian
 As>ailed in Bosch MaRncto

Boston, Dec. 6 rP)--How for mer Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer allegedly tried to use DO litical pulp with high government offices in Washington for the bene- fit of private enterprise. was re- lated at the hearing of the s5,- 535, ,564 Bosch Magneto case in fed eral court here today. The alleged activities of Palmer were referred 10 by Martin L. Kern ot Allentown, Penn, one Of the 21 men who, with Palmer, are the de fendants.
 Kern said he first met Palmer while he (Kcrn) was treasurer of the Bethlehem Motor Co. of Allen town. The witness said that he and Arthur T. Murray Of Springfield, who vas president Of the conn pany, arranged to have Palmer represent the company in Washington.
 Palmer was supposed to be able, through political pull to dispose of trucks manufactured by the con- pdlS lO lilt SON tI HlltIt, heTI SdlI.
 He testified tha he gave Palmer a $500 retainer and that the former alien property custodian was paid a total of S5.o00 in fees.
 According to Kern. all this money was wasted, for Palmer never sold any of the company's products to the government.
 The case concerns the sale of the Bosch Magneto Co. of Chicopee to Kern in 1918. The company was sold at auction following it's seizure un- der the trading with the enemy act on December r, 1918, for $4.- loo,0 900.
