spread. The Oakland Fire Depart
ment is good, but it can't do the i'm

"Dugie" is dead and buried. He
belonged to Mr.. and Mrs. Bushrod
{Jack) Grimes. He was poisoned last
Monday evening, and without showing
any illness, died almost instantly
after he reached the front porch of
the Grimes cottage. He was prime
favorite of a great many people in, the
Park, particularly the children. He
might challenge an adult while pass
ing the home, but child never. The
contents of the stomach will be ana
lyzed and careful investigation
made of the source of the poison. The
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Grimes were
devoted to him, as he seemed to know
that children loved him. AS the Eng
lish. have it, it is not sporting" to
poison a dog.
