PREVENT®" FROM
TEARING DOWN WALL
[Continued From I'M rat Page]
W. F. Martin, are the contractors who
erected the structure and they set
forth that their only security for the
sum due them is a mechanic's lien.
Building Inspector Grove emphati
cally denied the allegation. "I did not
conspire with Wagner or anybody
else," said he. "I don't do that sort
of thing. What I did in ordering the
tearing out of the wall was done upon
advice of our city solicitor.
Didn't Want to Lay Bricks
The petition which was presented
by Attorneys M. Haln and William M.
Hargest is directed against the "city

not be placed on the wall at the time
as the elements would tend to cause
the wall to bulge. They urged against
this kind of work but Wagner, the
petition says, insisted that they pro

any chances, and assume responsibil

wail Incidentally became a few Inches

The Charges
After the keys were turned over to
Wagner, the petition continues, "the
said Wagner commenced to cheat and

purpose and end conspired, confede

A Dog's Devotion
to a Given Task
Nero, a large Newfoundland dog
owned by a farmer residing near Mon
toursvllle, Pa., was so broken-hearted
recently over his carelessness In drop
ping into a canal a luncheon that he
was carrying, that he nearly killed
himself in his effort to regain the par
cels, and refused to come out of the
water until they were fished up.
Nero started from the house to the
field where his master was working,
with a lunch pall and some coffee In a
glass bottle having a handle by which
it could be carried. He suddenly
seemed to remember that he could
shorten the trip by a quarter of a
mile by going across lots and over
the footbridge on the canal. The
bridge is a narrow plank, and. In
crossing It, Nero hsd to be so watch
ful of his steps that he forgot to keep
his Jaws tightly shut on the toffee
bottle, and it dropped into the water.
Forgetting that he had the lunch pail
in his mouth, Nero Jumped In after
the coffee, and thus lost both burdens.
Then he began to plunge and swim
around frantically in the canal. The
accident ,had been seen by two boys,
and after they had watched the dog
swim around for half an hour, they
went to the field and told the owner
about it. The latter hurried to the
canal, and found the dog swimming
about, plunging here and there, en
deavoring to get the lost luncheon. He
called the dog to come out of the wa
ter, but Nero would not leave the
canal. All efforts to get him to the
shore were fruitless. The dog was be
coming exhausted, but still swam
aroynd yelping ptteously, grieved and
nearly heart-broken at having met
with the accident.
The owner saw that the only way to
get the 'Jog out of the water was to
fish up the luncheon. After about
fifteen minutes' Ashing, the dinner pail
w-as recovered, and after that the cof
fee bottle. Then Nero consented to
come out of the water, but was so
weak he could not crawl out and had
to be hauled up on land. The dog
had been swimming for over an hour.

Automatic Sprinklker Does
Good Work in Store Fire
An automatic sprinkler in the waste
paper room at the Dives, Pomeroy &
Stewart department store prevented a
costly conflagration last night. Three
night watchmen employed in the store
detected an odor of smoke about 12.15
a. m. One called to Roundsman Mc-
Cann, who was nearby, to send in an
alarm from Box 221, Fourth and Mar
ket streets.
An automatic sprinkler started
to work as soon as the temperature
reached 145 degrees and prevented the
fire from getting beyond the rubbish
room. Chemicals put an end t,o the
blaze without doing any damage to
adjoining rooms. As soon as the fire
was extinguished, the windows were
opened and the electric fans were
started. This drove the smoke from
the store and the damage will not
amount to more than SB. The origin
of the fire is a mystery. William Ben
nethum, manager, hlghely compli
mented the firemen for their good
work.
