FEROCIOUS WILD DOGS,
Becoming a Peat Alonn tlie Border
?>r Arlzonu und Snv Mexico.
John Bargeman, Under Sheriff of
Navajo county, bas returned to Hol?
brook, Arizona, from an extended trip
through the mountains along the bor?
der of Arizona and New Mexico bring?
ing a tale that wild dogs are creating
havoc in that region among cattle and
sheep. The dogs have been known for
only three years, first making their ap?
pearance in a small baud in American
Valley, in Western New Mexico. They
have increased wonderfully, and are
now found over a broad stretch of
country, despite the efforts of the cat?
tlemen to exterminate them. The
dogs average about 100 pounds' weight.
They have the head and shoulders of a
bulldog, but the build of a timber wolf
and wolfish characteristics. In color
they arc ashy gray, with long black
hairs interspersed.
I.iko coyotes, they are little afraid of
man, and will follow horsmen for miles
through the timber, not hesitating to
attack footmen. They occasionally
visit ranches, and many instances are
known, where domestic dogs have join?
ed the bands. The dogs secure their
food by killing sheep and calves, and
even full-grown cattle arc kuown to
have been pulled down by them. Colts
are their especial game.
Thomas Aiger, a resident of Ntttrio
so, is responsible for the statement
I that animals bitten by the wild dogs,
if not killed by them on the spot, die
within a few days with all the symp?
toms of strychnine poisoning. He
cites an instance whore he was able to
verify the local impression to that ef?
fect. His house c'.og was set upon by
several wild dogs. Aiger drove them
away, and the dog appeared to be little
the worse for Irs battle. Yet the ani?
mal died in two days with all the signs
of strychnine poisoning.
The timber dogs an continually get?
ting fiercer and beider, and the resi?
dents of eastern Apache county are or?
ganizing to hunt them down.
Lincoln as Doorkeeper.
Mr. James Eiter is ore of the oldest
doorkeepers in tiie war department.
Washington, and has been stationed
at the Seventeenth street entrance to
the Winder building for many years
occupying a chair in which President
Lincoln sat, while he acted as door
ki i per in place of Mr. Elter. Speaking
of the incident, Mr. Elter said:
"One day a tall, lank gentleman
canto to the entrance and asked me if
the secretary was in. and I told him
no, that it wa-s too early for him. lie
then ttslcetl at what hour he would be
likely to find him. and I told him.
Wit!', a pleasant 'Thank you' (some?
thing we don't always get) he walked
away. At the hour 1 told him that the
secretary would bo in ho again walked
up the steps and asked me ;f I would
not go to the secretary's room and tell
him that lie wished to sec him. I
told him that t could not leave my
post.
" 'Oh, that is all right. I am Mr.
Lincoln, and I will keep door while
you deliver my message. Tell him
that 1 want to seo him here in the
lower hall.' With this the President
unpinned my badge, stuck it in his
own coat, and took my chair. I has?
tened to the secretary's room, and soon
the two were together near me. but
in quiet and earnest talk. I never did
know why Mr. Lincoln did not want to
go to the secretary's room, but I know
that I prize this chair. I call it Abe
Lincoln. No doubt that was the only
t iittc a President ever acted as door?
keeper."
A Natural Death.
They were telling stories with a
wide range of locality, and. perhaps,
probability, and the name of Col. Tom
Siii.i;' as ti famous Kentucky story
teller and man-around the-staie came ]
"What ever became of the colonel?"
inquired a statesman.
"He went west and batted around
there for several years, and then came
back to Kentucky."
"Is he still living?"
"Oh, no. Been dead twenty years."
"Didn't die a natural death, did he?"
"Yea"
"You don't say! I never would have
thought It."
"Yes. He got into a scrap over pol?
itics and the other fellow shot him on
the spot."
The listener showed his surprise.
"Shot?" he exclaimed. "Why, i
thought yot; said he died a natural
death."
"1 hat's what I did say."
'?'Then 'new in tbuuder do?"
"Hold on!" interrupted the other
man. "You seem to forget that we are
talking about Kentucky."
A t*nllQUe< to tllC Sletlil.
A unique banq tot wa? held in Ligo
nier, inti. The participants were mem?
bers of the Auti-Smelling Society,
which had its inception about twenty
years ago, when twelve young men
bound themselves into this body, whoso
object is only known by its members.
On the night of January 11 of each year,
according to their rules, the surviving
members must banquet the dead mem?
bers, and plates are laid for the dead
ones. This custom must be continued
until bul one member lives, when he
must banquet all the dead rooniBers.
A loving cup, with e ten member's name
inscribed thereon, goes to the member
who last survives. The society is the
only one of its kind in America. There
are about tea members still living.
