DOG SCENTS DEATH TRAP
Purebred Holstein Bull Found
Dying in Wedge of Trees.
XIARSHFIELD, Or., Aug. IS.
(Special.) Pug, just a 'yellow"
!og. belonging to Claude Piper of
North Coos river, insisted that his
master and others with him on an
inspection trip through the cattle
range, should look over into a gulch
the dog had scented as they jour
neyed, but the men supposed the
animal perhaps had treed a coon
or flushed a skunk and passed on,
although Pug loitered and teased
for them to halt.
Returning near the same locality,
Pug again signalled or the party
to follow him, but only convinced
them after many antics that they
ought to give him some attention.
Pug led the way to the edge of a
steep gulch, and there Mr. Piper
discovered his purebred Holstein
bull wedged in between the bank
and two fallen trees, famished, and
nearly starved to death. Mr. Piper
believed the animal had been held
in the place for three weeks. As
long as the bull had strength his
head was within reach of water,
but as he grew weaker and no
longer could stand; that relief was
denied him.
Mr. Piper returned home, two and
a half miles, rounded up tackle and
help and released the animal, which,
however, was too far gone to sur
vive and died within two hours.
