Faithful 0o
A lato dispatch from Ashland, Or.,
brings this pathetic stoay of a dog's in
telligence and attachmentto his master:
Monday tho body of William McKay, a
trapper well known in Trinity county,
was found on South Fork Mountain,
four miles west of Hyampom. Tho dis
covery 'was due to the trappor's faithful
dog. McKay and his dog wero Insupera
ble companions, On Monday, when
tho dog appeared at A. S. Flotchor's
place, it attracted) Fletcher's uoticc.
It seemed to him the dog's actions meant
that ho wished tho man to follow him,
and he decided to do bo, Tho delighted
animal led tho way to liie-maaterh er.b
in, but the doj; .did not wish to ttop
there.( and Fletcher continued on be
hind him, tramping two miles further
through tho deep suow, whoro sitting by
the base of a tree, waa McKay cold and J
stiff in death. The dog liokod the trap
per's face and showed, almost human lu
Intelllgouco. Fletcher wont to llyatupotn to obtain
help to lomovo tho body, and later a
messitgo was sent to Wuavotvlllo to the
Coroner, who summoned a jury. 1,1 Is
believed that McKay became exhausted
or olck, and, oiltlngdown by tho tree,
dropped to sleep and was fioxuu to
death.
