Police Station
Welcomes Dog

A spirit of adventure this morning
ed to the police station for one
brown and white Boston bull, Holt
vile dog license No. 7S, just as it
has for many a far wiser person.
How No. rs reached El Centre
from Holtville, where his license was
issued, must remain an issue Of
doubt until his owner is located At
any rate, he was in FL Centre this
morning, glorying in perfect free
dom.
But dog must have a man, SO
No. rs picked himself one. 1t was
an immigration officer. who first
spoke a kindly word, then became
annoyed, and finally tried to ditch
the dog. Efforts were fruitlesS, so
the officer called at the police sta
ton. where No. rs was kept while
his chosen master went on his way.
The Boston bull was returned TO
Holtville.
No. rs resembles all his kind.
Whether adventure is responsible
for the slight limp and the patch
of hair gone from his two-inch tail
just where it makes a sudden twist
will probably always be a mystery.
Be that as it may, adventure did
land No. rs in the police station.
