WITH STRYGHNINE All Had Won Trophies and Jeal- ous Bevenge Is Said to Be the Motive BULLDOG “PETE” ALSO DRUGGED Westminster Kennel Club Will Give $500 for Information Regard- Ing the Outrage. ‘There was a big sensation this morn- ing when tt became known that during the night eight “pet” dogs, belonging to ¥, Senn, a New York fancier, had been poisoned at the Madison Square Garden Strychnine was used and all were dead defore 10 o'clock this morning. Revenge {a supposed to have been the motive. ‘The dogs poisoned were: King of Charities and Lady De Lena, King spaniele; Brandy, a Yorkshire les spaniel Mikado, Yokt, Ki Ku and Chin, Japan- ese terriers. Klug of Charlies won first prize an champion stud dog. Lady De Lena won first prise esmong the bitches. Belle, Mi- kado, Ki Ku and Yoki were also prize winneps. ‘The dogs were all quartered back of the arens boxes on the Twenty-sixth street side of the Garden, Mr. and Mrs. Benn locked the dogs up in their cages last night, and after seeing them com- fortadly tucked away, left the Garden at 10.90 o'clock, Nobody was left in ‘warge excepting the regular watchmen ployed by the Westminster Kennel €lub. Nuthing was heard from that quarter during the night, and no strangers were een about the benches. My. Genn returned to the Garden shortly after @ o'clock this morning, ac- companied by his wife. He immediately opened the dogs’ quar- 7 \ The I. ong and the Short of It. that the poison had been administered to the dogs on meat by the perpetrators of the outrage. President Perry, of the Westminster Kennel Club, said that nothing could have occurred to hurt him worse than the contemptiblo action of @ dastard Who would do such a deed. The President sald that a reward of $000 will be pald for information leading to the arrest of the miscreants. If necessary, he says, the Club will in- crease the reward offered, and spend any amount to secure the punishment of the culprit. Officers of the Society for the Preven- ton of Cruelty to Animals are working up the case in addition to a number of detectives from the Central Oftce, Most of the exhibitors are badly seared, and have placed extra guards over their pets. They are loud in denun- ciation of the outrage, and If they could Jay hands on the guilty person he would fare badly. Mrs. Senn was prostrated over the death of her pets, and cried hysterical- ly, Her husband was very angry. He sald: “I would not have taken $1,500 for the dogs. Aside from their intrinsic value, my wife was very fond of them, and none of them was for saie, “I don't know of any person who 1 think would be guilty of such an out- Toge. It was done for revenge, as far as I can understand, but I don't know of anybody I have ever wronged, A frlend of ours told us thie morning that last night she saw a stranger near the benches, and he was cursing and saying he would get even with somebody, The somebody evidently meant me, 1 will offer « reward for the capture of the Person who put the potson in the bas- ket. “TI took the dogs from their regular bench and placed tlem in their basket for the night.

Over a hundred mastiffs, St. Bernards, dachshundes and others were turned into the big ring this morning In the middle of the amphitheatre, The animals romped and frolickei around in glee. For a time everything went nicely, and nobody disturbed the serenity of the occasion, until somebody inadvertently let a big brindle bull pup loose in the ring. For a couple of minutes the bull stood the playful attacks of his companions, but his belligerent ideas soon got the better of him, and he sailed in to lick somebody's dog. Then immediately there was pandemonium. He first tackled a big maatiff, and then halt a dozen others, There wan a rush of at- tendants, and just as things were be- coming nice and lively, the brindle bull pup was gotten out of the ring Among those who attended to-day were “Justice Bartlett, of Brooklyn; As- sistant District-Attorney Bartow 8.

That is 'o say that every day in the whole year about four hundred openings were offered to people out of work, in The World. Beside this, it is fair to say that at least as many employers scanned the “Situation Wanted” columns of The World and found Help without advertising.
