In dodging one of the missies the dog got in front df A wagon wheel and was run over and killed. The animal had been a very valuable aid in cattle tending and. is greatly missed, for the . work he performed, as well as because of his companionable qualities. In running cattle onto the scales he would always run in four at a time, making the selection of that number with unerring accuracy. He would then run around in front of the scales and stand with his fore feet against the front and watch the cattle weighed, keeping his eyes riveted on the beam of the scales just as though he was interested in the weight. As soon as the scale was locked he would rush in and chase the steers out and bring up another set for weighing. Mr. Moody said he would as soon have lost any team on the farm as to have lost the dog. Granville, Jr., returned to Culver this morning, going by x way of Chicago.
