| Affairs of Chinkie, Erving Chow, Seem All Mixed Up.

TIGHT now, ‘Chinkie, female chow dog, is at the ‘city dog pound, ‘eligible for ‘parole, but all

tied wp in litigation. This is the |

way it happened as the litigants explained it today to the Safety Board. On April 80, ‘Chinkie bit ‘the small soh of Mr. ahd Mrs. Marvin Sipe, 4710 Hinesley Ave, and police ordered Mrs, Sipe to tie the dog up 10 days for ‘observation This Mrs. Sipe did, except that at ‘the end of two days ‘Chinkie was jnexplicably at liberty. Mrs. Sipe then asked PF. L. ‘O'Brien, & neighbor, to tie ‘Chinkie up in his vard and he agreed to. But at the ‘end of another two ‘days he found it inconvenient. He asked another meighbor, P. W. Brown, who keeps ‘dogs tied up ‘in his back yard anyway, to tie up Chinkie and Mr. Brown said he'd be glad to. He did. At the end of another wo days Chinkie was gone, apparently released on her ‘own recognizance.

B* two days later meighbors discovered ‘Chinkie a prisoner in the Sipe basement. They called the Humane Society, which ordered the dog taken to the Pound. ‘Chief Morrissey ruled it should mot be destroyed. Mrs. Sipe appearad ot the Pound and claimed the dog, saying it was taken illegally from her property. Neighbors protested that Mrs, Sipe had threatened to poison the dog. Chief Morrissey told the Board

he ruled that ‘Chinkie was not 10

be returned to the neighborhood, hut that she was to be sold. He said a woman from Beech Grove had called up and wanted to buy the dog. But the ather litigants said they undsrstood the Beech Grove woman was a sister of Mrs. Sipe and wanted to buy it for Mrs. Sipe. Chief Morrissey on anything. “I'm going to investigate,” he said.

paigh which originally was launche bv the Indiana Young Democrats. The Young Democrats ars to have charge of this “educational Program.” Total cost of the proposed office Duilding was fixed hy Governor Townsend at about $3,000,000. |

New Hospital Asked

He said the present plans for the new tuberculosis hospital called for | location of that institution Wn | southern Indiana because that dis- | trict “gs one of the heaviest infected | areas in the United States.” Requests for additions te other | institutions are designed to bring them up to date and relieve over crowding, he said. No requests ware made for addi | tions to educational and penal n= | stitutions. In the case of the latter group, prison labor is used in construction programs and Federal aus thoritias refuse to make grants because they claim the national program is designed Primarily to relieve unemployment. The Governor conferred today on | this program with department heads.
