ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20. (ANP)
A pet dog, Tubby, a mutt to
most people, was a hero to the
family of Everett Griswold here,
last week when his barking saved
the whole family from being de-
stroyed by fire in the middle of
the night.
While the family was sleeping,
Tubby detected the fire, clawed
his way through a Green door into
the house and began to bark in
the room Of the five children.
When the children awoke and
found out the house was on fire
they made so much noise that they
woke up the whole family.
Those saved were Mr. and Mrs.
Griswold, a roomer, Lawrence An
derson, the children's uncle, Rob-
ert Giswold, and the five chill
dren: Martha, Dorothy, Everett,
Jr., Jacquilline and Wanda.
Tubby, who is three years old,
has his own little dog house in
the back yard. The fire he dis
covered caused $1,000 danes, fire

Man With Empty Gun
Attempts hoIdup

Scene: the Miami Gift Shop,
1924 West Fifth street.
Time: Monday evening.
Cast: Miss Princess Griffin, a
clerk; an unknown gunman, and
an unidentified man with a mail
mans cap on.
Story: The would-be robber en-
tered the Miami Gift shop and
announced to Miss Griffin that he
wanted the money out of the cash
register. Miss Griffin said he held
a gun under a newspaper, and
thinking it a joke, she just walked
away from him.
Meanwhile, a man with a mail
mans cap walked in, and shortly
after him, James Wooding, a radio
repair man came in from the rear
of the store.
The gunman became unnerved
at so many people. The mailman,
if he was one, took his gun away,
inspected it and found it was not
loaded and admonished him for
fooling with it in such a manner.
The gunman, according to the
story given by shop owner, Hor-
ace Anderson, pleaded that he was
drunk and was only trying to
pawn the weapon.

Moral: Gunman who try such
