Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 239, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 October 1913 — On the Lieutenant. [ARTICLE]

On the Lieutenant.

A lieutenant was going along a country road, when a native with a gun on * his shoulder, followed by a dog, hove in sight. The dog snapped at the lieutenant’s horse, and in a fit of temper he pulled his revolver and shot the dog dead. Regretting what he had done, the lieutenant handed the native a dollar to soothe his feelings. "Where were you going with the dog and gun, anyway?” "Down to the woods to shoot the dog,” the man answered.
