Why didn't somebody tell Sandy |
that his master had traded cars? |
How was he to know? When the |
car trade was completed and Eric
sons old car was driven away, San |
dy disappeared too. The Ericsson
family searched all day for their |
faithful dog. AS night drew near |
they decided to look in the used car
lot and there was Sandy sitting on
the running board Of the old car.
He was evidently waiting for his |
master to take the car home. Eric
sons will have to remember after |
this that when they own such a |
dog as Sandy, he'll have
to be told Of all family affairs.
Locks Hen Thief In
COOp-Didn't Know It
Pennington - Henry Del askiI
thinks now he locked a thief in
his hen coop without knowing it.
After losing several chickens by
theft, Henry took extra precautions
the other night and went to the
chicken house and locked the coop
at 1918. To his surprise the next
morning he discovered the door had
been broken open by someone on
the inside of the coop, which con-
vinces him that he locked the thief
in the night before. Nc chickens
were stolen as the thief probably
figured he had locked him in and
had gone for help.

"BObo" Pet Crow
Getting Popular
Breckenridge There are all
kinds of pets in Breckenridge, but
none like "Bobo" who is rapidly
gaining in popularity. About five
months ago, Vincent Cahill found
two baby crows. He took them
home and although one of the
crows disappeared the other one
stayed. The Cahill children named
him "Bobo." AS the crowd gets older
he Is more and more becoming a
real pet CT the children. Today. you
are apt to see ''Bobo" strolling any
where about town. Should you
wake up some morning to find a
crow at your door, or strolling
along the sidewalk, just remember
it is only "Bobo". Oh yes, he spends
his nights in a nail keg.
