It developed an intense hatred for Limpert, and on several occasions attacked him sav agely. Despite Limpert’s advice, the woman refused to part with her pet. Early yesterday when Limpert entered his sister's flat, he found the dog in sole possession. Ferociously the brute flung himself wpon the man and for nearly half an hour the combat ants rolled about on the floor in a deadly struggle, Limpert un able to reach the dogr. Later in the day Limpert’s dead body was found lying on the floor beside an overturned table. His throat was torn to shreds and his head and shoulders tay in a fast drying puddle of blood. The dog, his muzzle stained with a darkening red and his head and body bleeding from gashes received when he had been hurled against the furniture by his human antagonist, cower ing in a corner importance to the jury, A weekly shoul competied stay in the President Gompers and other offi. | = cites a Appt . sum of $760, Ww t | T [ IAI » mendation of Lurton’s appointment So The Star is going to run a séglew GE Christmas suggestions CINCINNATI, De 13, Messen Crayats The elevator boy stopped the / halt insane Triplicate Mirror for shaving. | ninth and tenth from rem Suspenders THEIF WILL BUILD A BUNGALOW TODAY LAST DAY u | OF CUNNINGHAM kis a CINCINNATH O.
