Police Are Called to Quell
Noisy Sausage Machine.
Disturbance at JVee Hoars Caused
by Butcher Forgetting; to Shut
Off Current.
THREE patrolmen sped northward on
Union avenue in the wee hours be
fore yesterday's dawn, on a mission as
novel as any that ever summoned a
bluecoat. They were sent forth to lo
cate and quell a sausage machine.
At the intersection of Failing street
and Union avenue North, the police
chauffeur brought his ca to a sudden
halt. An insistent, roaring, reverber
ent whirr, filled the watches of the
quiet night. Patrolemen Gouldstone,
Tulley and Russell exchanged glances.
"Pile out, boys," suggested Patrol
man Russell, "that's her."
The trio deployed to the rear door of
Moeller & Smith's meat market helil
a hurried council and wrenched a board
rrom the portal. In a moment they had
gained entrance and stood in the nres-
ence of the unattended, but persistent
sausage grinaer, rorgottten hours be
fore by the sleepy butcher.
Throttled by the policemen, the
grinder stilled its clamor and came to
rest with a weary squeak. They tink
ered the board back in place and left
the meat market by the front door,
making due and formal report of the
occurrence.
LAMP, NOT CAR, WANTED
Youths, Taken After Chase, Say
They Wanted Lantern for "Bag."
It was his quest for a tall-lamp and
not the theft of an entire automo
bile that made Harold Carr, a young
candymaker, the target for a police
man's pistol Saturday night and
brought him to the City Jail on a
vagrancy charge. Such was Carrs con
fession, made to City Detectives Crad
dock and Smith yesterday.
Carr was, arrested after a police
chase, when he was pursued by Patrol
men Davis, Morris and Crane, chauf
feured by Dr. K. P. Moran. of E81
Weidler street, whose car he is said
to have attempted to rifle. His com
panion, Walter Watts, escaped, but was
found yesterday by Detectives Crad
dock and Smith. They said they wanted
the lamp for a "bug."

More Libraries Needed.

beset with requests for the libraries
that she cannot fill. Requests are
coming from the most remote parts of
the state, and the society will, no doubt.

DOG SLAYERS ARE BUSY
TWO VALUABLE ANIMALS GONE.
POISONED MEAT IS FOUND.
Two Other Canines Are Found Snot
Dead In . Same Neighborhood Po
lice Informed Reniirdi Offered.
That dog assassins and thieves are
busy In the West Side residence dis
trict is evidenced by two reports made
yesterday to the police bureau. In one
Instance two dogs of unknown owner
ship have been found dead, bearing
bullet wounds; in another, two Valua
ble dogs are missing, while sausage
and strychnine strewed the backyard.
Two Boston bull terriers were re
ported missing by Mrs. Joseph Frieden
thal. of 696 Everett street, and rewards
have been offered for their return. The
female, black - coated and blue - eyed,
was very valuable, and Mr. Friedenthal
recently refused $250 for her. Her mate
is a brlndle dog with white breast and
white markings on the face.
Mrs. Friedenthal was both terrified
and indignant by the discovery in her
yard of slices of sausages which had
been sandwiched together with a
copious sprinkling of strychnine be
tween. The meat was wrapped together
with twine, and had evidently been
thrown Into the yard from a distance.
Mr. and Mrs. Friedenthal permit
children of the neighborhood to make a
playground of the premises, and they
shudder at the thought that some little
tot might have found the poisoned sau
sage. Less than a dozen blocks distant, be
fore the home of Mrs. B. Neustadter,
two dead dogs of unknown ownership
were found on Wednesday morning.
Police Sergeant Harvey Thatcher states
that bullet wounds were found In each,
and that the dogs aparently had been
shot down by some cautious aog
assassin.
In the "lost-and-found" columns vari
ous other canine pets have been report
ed as "lost, strayed or stolen" by the
owners within the past few days.
