ting his milk over the Erie and Wyom
ing Valley every evening about 9
o'clock. Sunday night the milk did not
arrive until about 2 o'clock In the
morning, and the man who conveys
the milk from the station, knowing it
was nearly daybreak, set the milk cans
outside the door, from which place
the thieves attempted to carry one of
them away. Mr. Burgess promises a
warm reception for them on their next
attempt.

B, A. Fox, the blrdmnn, last April
lost a Imndsome black spaniel, known
as "Coalle," which was rocently dis
covered In tho possession of Harry
Wing, of Sixth straot.
Fox swore out a warrant for Wlng'a
arrest nnd at last nlght'3 hearing ldon
tilled the dog as his property. The de
fendant vigorously maintained that
the animal was his own, and the mag
istrate of the Eighth ward was per
plexed for a moment.
Then his brow cleared as ho thought
of King Solomon and tho way he used
to. settle dllllculties of this kind, and
he told Fox to call the dog by name,
"Hero, Coalle, dog, here," murmured
tho blrdnian gently, and the anlmnl
wagged Its tall responslvoly, kissed
Fox's hand, and turiwd a canine back
somersault, "Now Wing," said tho alderman,

Nellie, doggie," whereat tho peculiar
animal again manifested delight, lav
ished much affection on Wing, and
performed some mora gymnastics,
Tho fact that the (log responded to
tho peculiar name of Coalle, and evi
dently recognized Fox, induced tho
alderman to hold Wing In $300 batl for
his appearance at court.
