PRINCETON, KY, Nov. 28.-tPy-
The faithfulness and intelligence OF
two dogs was discovered here with
the conclusion of a coroner's in
vestigation into the death Of Given
Oliver, "a, Caldwell county farmer.
Oliver. after partaking of a coun-
try Thanksgiving dinner yesterday,
took his two dogs and went rabbit

wife and mother were alarmed by
the bowling of one OF the dogs at
their back door. Members of the
family followed the dog back into
the woods and there found the
other dog standing guard over Oh
iver's body. A charge from his
shotgun had entered his stomach.
Coroner Homer Brown said Oh
iver's gun was discharged accident
ally causing instant death.
Living conditions have been
found by a group Of insurance COM

termining length of human life
than heredity after a study OF $751;
