THIS DOG WAITS ALL NIGHT

Stands Guard Over Well Where He >. /Thought Hig Master Was—Stays Until Owner Appears. Petersburg, Ind. —Strother Ingler, a young farmer living near Union, Pike county, took his bird dog to the home of his father, Arnold Ingler, about two miles away, and on his return home stopped at an old well by the road to draw a bucket of water. The dog went into a nearby field. A friend who saw Ingler at the well asked Ingler to ride home in his buggy, and Ingler stepped from the well curbing into the buggy, but forgot to whistle for his dog. A few minutes later the dog returned, and not finding Ingler, looked Into the well, His nose followed the well rope, and he howled and tried to attract the attention of the Ingler family. Ingler’s father saw the dog, but paid no attention to his barking: It rained all that night, but the dog beside the well, and in the morning again barked continually. The dog did not leave until its master came to get it in the afternoon, after his father had telephoned to young Ingler and told him of the dog’s behavior. f ,y . ■
