Dog’s Mysterious Disappearance Cleared When Tag Is Found.

Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 15.—G. E. Sewright of this city ate a winerwurst, commonly known as a “hot dog,” in a restaurant here today, and at the same time solved the mystery of the disappearance of Miss Ann Bell’s female Scotch terrier. In the winerwurst that Sewright was masticating with great pleasure was the tag of Miss Bell’s dog, No. 4,413. Sewright was amazed when one ol his molars crunched something metallic. He pulled the little piece of metal from his mouth and saw it was a dog license tag. Then he started to clean out the place. Police quelled the riot. Miss Bell said she lost her dog three weeks ago. Sewright has foresworn “winners” and Miss Bell has cancelled the reward she offered for her dog.
