The animal jbe!unged to Jerry Sullivan, formerly | sexton of Holy Sepulchre Cemetery |here. When Sullivan and his family fmoved to Oregon, the dog, which was E(en months old, was taken along. He remained six months, but refused to | eat. lost all his playfulness and seemed to suffer from homesickness. One day he disappeared. Nothing more was heard of him until a short time ago, when he appeared in Omaha. | Gaunt and shaggy, | matted in his tail, his feet badly blis- | tered, it was evident that the dog had covered at least a large part of the | long journey un foot. Some kind friend had bound his two fore feet with rags. Over the rags was a piece of leather | cut from a boot top and each piece of | leather was worn through. When he reached Omaha the animal went straight to the house where his master had lived. Finding strangers | there he whined dismally and soon limped sadly away. He is being cared for by a neighbor, but refuses to be fully comforted. The owner is in Port- land and has been communicated with. —_————— | VAST CROWD GATHERS 1 WHEN EMPLOYES EAT with cockle burrs | Stockton Police Compelled to Make a s Lane for Passage of Non- Union Men.
