A wonderful story of the recent
Hood is related by a Willianisport
lumberman. The other day a gang
of men were at work on Burrows
Island removing the logs an ' boa -ds.
As they cleared away the debris
they came upon a pile of logs in tlie
Shape of a cone at least a dozen feet
high. The logs were in such a
symmetrical shape that it looked as
though they well put together by
human hand ;. The-eouo was hollow
and as the men proceeded with their
work of deinoiition they detected a
siiuil which suggested that there
was a dead animal close at hand
Log after log was removed, when to
their amazement they beheld a mas
tiif dog. The animal wagged his
tail and whined w hen he saw the
men, and seemed gladened at the
prospect of being liberated from
prison. In another portion of the
cone-shaped celi was the carcass of a
cow. I'y some freak of the rushing
waters the dog and cow \vt re caught
in this pen on June 2, the cow beiiu
crushed in the jam of logs. The
canine was sleek and fat when
liberated and looked none the worse
for his two months imprisonment,
lie has become greatly attached U
the men on the island, and occasion
ally takes a meal on the dead cov,
Where the animal caiue f'oui is not
known, and there will be no special
ellort made to ascertain its forniei
