to many of the inhabitants of the
otherwise peaceable section of a
peaceable city. The animal has an
abnormally developed instinct for do
ing excavation , work, on new lawns
and gardens. Only last night he
mutilated a new lawn in West La
Grande in fine shape by digging a
storm sewer trench or something of
the sort The animal has a habit of
variety in his activities. Lately he
has been running relay, races with
horses in the Foley pasture, all of
which disturbs the peaceful slumbers
of nearby residents. When he has
the pasture population in perfect, tur
moil, he suddenly remembers a bone
he has burled in a nearby garden or
perchance a new lawn, and somehow
or other he forgets the exact location.
Cut unlike Edgar Allen Poe,. he does
not compute mathematically the spot
of the hidden morsel; rather he pro
ceeds to dig with the patience of a
miner until lawns, gardens and other
vulnerable spots supposedly pretty
and when the bone is found, off goes
Mr. Dog with his bone. The next
morning Mr. Man finds his garden

DOG GUARDS DEAD MASTER.
Dog Kept Vigil for Six Days Before
Friends Found Old Han Dead.
. County Coroner Ison And Earle
Gray ; of Welch's . undertaking par
lors went to Nelson's Siding near
Durkee yesterday to investigate the
death of an old man named Cloud
who was found dead in his dugout
there The coroner's Jury found that
he had died from natural causes and
he was burled in his ward.
A touching Incident was witnessed
by the people who first found the old
man. He had a little garden patch
of a couple of acres and lived in a
dugout near the 0. It. & N. track
about a mile beyond Nelson's siding,
and was accustomed to go down to
the Siding for his few supplies. He
was' last seen a week ago yesterday
when he told his friends that he was
falling fast. Nothing was seen of;
him for six days andf the people at '
the store went to Investigate, but
were unable to secure entrance to
the dugout because of the dog which
was guarding his master's door. For
six days the faithful creature had not
leu ni poet, auu uwuoubbh would
have remained on duty until death
relieved him, as death bad called his
master 4 '. '
After considerable pursuasion the
friends who knew the dog enticed
him to eat and got him away from
the door so" that they could enter the
room. There they ' found a gruesome
sight, for the old man was dead and
his body was badly decomposed. He
was partly undressed and evidently
was preparing for bed when the end
came. He was wrapped up in his
blankets and burled beneath the arbor
in his little garden. He was 72. years
old and had lived on his little plot
of ground for several years, raising
vegetables and fruit which he ex
changed for merchandise at the store.

mile to 51 5-6, which Is a new coast record for the circular track
With the exception of this performance, Oldfield had to take second
place In the list of racing honors, as the world's champion met defeat '
in both the five and fifteen mile handicap events, and In both races t
King and his Maxwell were the victors. In fact, King proved the i

taking the turns with his car as close to the fence as did Oldfield. in r
