He was a man weil past middle age, inclined to be stout, in- clined to be bald, and inclined to be good-looking.

B. Groff ‘This is the story of JACK, Down from the frozen, wind-swept ice floes of Bering strait, Jack came to Seattle. What a startling change for a huge, busky, long furred malamute! Deserted by his master, Robert Murz, of Nungashak, Alaska, who left Jack in the Grand Central gar- age, 701 Fourth ave., Thursday, Jack felt friendless and dione in a world of clanging street cars, snorting autos and loud-voiced people. If he had been in Alaska, where only the eternal silence of the snows reigned, or in one of the anowbound frontier towns, surrounded by his kind, Jack would have been happy. But he was in a strange world and he was miserable. Urged by a tremendous curiosity, Jack decidéd to go somewhere. He moved slowly out into the street. He -|was jostled and bumped by people Neuner said that the chief reason why Brumfield was being kept here was because of the inadequacy of the Douglas county jail, where Brumfield would either share the general cell with the rest of the county's prisoners, or occupy the solitary confinement cell, which would be detrimental to his health. The officers say they are making every effort to bring about a return of Brumfield's normal mentality. According to Sheriff Starmer, while the prisoner is 100 per cent better physically and mentally than when he left Calgary, he is far from be- ing his normal self, HIRED SLAYERS MURDERED LOO?

Officers of San Mateo county an- nounced that Hightower had prom. ised them to waive rights to delays and his arraignment and preliminary hearing probably would be held simultaneously within a few days. The exact time and place, however, probably will not be made public. “The only thing 1 want to do is into court and plead no Hightower was quoted as who stared at his great bulk, his powerful figure. Jack wandered out to greet a traf- fie cop, who amiled sympathetically at the stranger. A reckless autoist struck the dog and turned him around. Jack whined and tucked his tall between his legs. He lost his dignity, his composure, and started to run, anywhere, to get away from the snorting things that pursued him. The noise of the traffic con- fused him. ‘Two jumps ahead of a “flivver,” Jack raced madly for his life, while scores of people laughed. Cur dogs snapped at his heels. Meanwhile, a report had been re- ceived at police headquarters that Jack had escaped from the garage. Motorcycle Patrolman George Rey- nolds overtook him. Jack broke away and ran across a vacant fot and escaped. Attracted by a score of urchins, Reynolds found Jack cowering in ter- ror behind a candy shop at Hubbel way and Union st. Reynolds stoop- ed and talked to Jack for several minutes. Jack recognized a friend and allowed Reynolds to lead him back to the garage. Jack is only two years old. He was born on the Bering sea, in Si- beria. His owner, R. Murz, an Alas- ka trapper, is training Jack to be the leader of a dog team. He is an extraordinary dog, remarkably intel- gent in a land of intelligent dogs. His wisdom far outstrips his tender years, according to his master. Jack accompanied bis master “to get a touch of civilization” when the trapper made a journey to Seattle, U. S.

Sensation Is Expected in Kennedy Case LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 18.— The Kenmedy murder case today trembled on the verge of brand new accusations which are expected to entangle persons hitherto unconnect- ed with the affair, “The ystery will be solved by Monday,” Ralph R. Obenchain, coun- sel for the defense, asserted. “Mad- alynne and Arthur Burch will be free, Someone else will be behind the bars,” Obenchain refused to enlarge on his statement. It is known that he has a corps jof investigators and operatives bend- ing every energy to round up the tangled leads in the case. Their identity has been kept secret. Obenchain, however, admitted that they were not “shooting blind,” but were working to build up proof of a definite theory as to what actually happened during the midnight hour at Beverly Glen, when John Belton Kennedy lost his life. Obenchain’s assertions were gener ally credited at the court house. Tt was believed that the defense would try to explode a bombshell to give the case an entirely new aspect, prior to the arraignment of Mada- jlynne Obenchain and Arthur C, Burch before Judge Sidney Reeve on Monday,
