Young last night added some more scalps to his belt sending a few more canines into tne nappy hunting ground. The worthy doctor was as saulted by a canine at his usual meeting place with them, the corner of the alley between Main and Pearl streets on Fifth and his trusty can non roared forth upon the 2:30 a. m. air, rousing sleeping citizens front their beds and causing them to strain their ears to hear the crash of break ing glass. But this was not the trou ble this time. The bullet sped with unerring aim straight to the heart ot the animal and it made one, last, long leap, coming down the deadest dog that ever gnawed a bone in Platts mouth. Further on the cannon of the brave officer barked once more but this time the results were not so fatal and still later in the night the hoarse bark of the gun announced the winging away of another relative of the digger Indians. Truly the doc tor Is some huntsman and he has a nice bng of dogs to show for the night hunt. Fortunately he has learn ed to shoot down Instead of up and into the ground instead of the granite pavement, otherwise he would have destroyed a whole lot of property. lery.
