DOG A DETECTIVE.
Animal Belonging to the Police at
Shanghai Gave Valuable Aid.
There has Just died in the central
police station in Shanghai perhaps one
of the most fnlthml and Intelligent
animals of the dumb creation, and one
which was truly regarded by the
Shanghai police as the "policemen's
dog, a mute but sagacious com pari'
Ion, whose death has been regretted
by the whole force. Nigger at hi
death was 25 years old, eleven of
which he had served in the Shanghai
police force. His record in the ser
vice shows that he has actually been
In both the public and the secret de
partments of tho police, and had teen
the means of effecting the arrest of
many notorious criminals. Nigger, re
marks the China Gazette, was a per
sonality in the force, petted as much
by the superintendent as he was by
constables, both Kuropean and native.
He waB moreover, part and parcel of
them, for he visited them on their
usual beats, was patted, and with
gentle tail wag traveled onward to
meet the next officer. The dog, too,
became a general favorite, because he
used to remain out on night duty.
and never considered that his patrol
was up till the morning round was
finished. When he was on night duty
he used to enter the station at
o'clock to get his coffee. After that
Nigger would trot out again and con
tinue his round till morning. An in
spector of the police force, speaking
of the death of the dog, state's that he
was as good as a detective, and that
on many occaslonti Nigger had been
the means of arresting lawbreakers
in cases wbere the police had failed.
Several notable instances are re
corded. It Is we'l known that Nigger
secured the arrest of a criminal who
escaped from the Hong-Kew police
station. The convict was In for a
term of years, and his escape from the
station was apparently unpercetved
until Nigger took up the chase. The
dog pursued the nian for two miles,
the while biting him on the heels. Tae
runaway dropped and the police came
upon him. One of the most remark
able instances of canine fidelity per
haps In modern times was this: About
three months ago two European po
lice officers were going up the Nan
king road at about midnight. Nigger,
who had been with them, was missed.
A few minutes afterward the animal
made Its reappearance, when it began
pawing at the legs of its master. Ser
geant Madsen, who knew then there
was something wrong. Both officers
proceeded to ascertain post, piloted by
Nigger, who at once put his front
paws against the door of a house and
returned to scratch his master. 'The
dog again went to the door and actual
ly by his front paws burst it open, and
then it was that the officers discover
ed a criminal who was on private pro
perty for the supposed purpose of
committing a felony and who was sub
sequently convicted and sentenced to
three months' hard labor.
These are among the many acts
which made Nigger's name famous in
Shanghai, not only among the mem
bers of the police force, but among
many private residents who knew him
by his reputation. The t..ianghai po
lice force is inconsolable. The funeral
was attended by six constables and a
sergeant. Fall Mail Gazette.
