There was a life-size mad dog
scare out in Jobs addition, Wednes
day morning, in which Chief of
Police WmIIu figured as chief execu
tioner. The dog belonged to Mr.
West who resides in the Crees house
inihatpartof town, and it ran at
its owner fiercely, apparently de
termined to bite, which resulted in
Chief Wells being summoned. As
the animal had sought sa'ety uo ierj
a barn, W. A. Buchanan was press
ed into service and with a stick suc
ceeded in driving the canine into
the open, when it was dispatched
by Mr. Wells. The latter thinks
the animal had been poisoned, which
caused it to show symptoms of
madness. :.

A strange freak in the shape of a
four-winged and four legged duck
ling is in a jar of alcohol on exhibi
tion at the general merchandise
store of M. V. Koootz, says a Hal
sey dispatch. The bird was hatch
ed on the Caleb Gry . farm,, near
Halsey. It lived but a short time,
so never had use for its ample sup
ply of wings, one pair of which ere
placed directly -back of and overlap
ping the other. It body is some
longer than that of an ordinary
duck, so it would have needed its
extra pair of legs in order to have
balanced itself properly when walk
ing, hich it was said to do with
ease.
A Btory of fergetfulness that is
seldom equalled is reported from
Halsey to the -effect that Mrs. Em
ma Allen of that place became
alarmed oy the presence of several
suspicious looking strangers last
Saturday, and being a widow who
livea alone, and with a large sum of
mouey iu the house, together with
some valuable jewelry, placed
money and jewelry in a tin box and
deposited ttiem in the firebox of the
kitchen range. She forgot her fears
of the strange men with the coming
of dawn, likewise her wealth, and
built a fire and got breakfast before
she remembered. Her jewelry was
ruined. She declines to state what
condition she found it in or how
much money she had to burn. '
