Newspaper Man vs Pug Dog.

Laporte Herald: Sant Culbertson is a newspaper man. He was formerly employed in this city, but recently went to Wheatfield and lauched the Kankakee Valley Eagle, which has since ceased publication. He now does local work on the Westvdie Indicator. Sant calls on young Indies now and then. A few nights ago he paid one of the fair damsels a visit and almost got into serious trouble. It appears that the girl in question owns a smart pug dog- It is inclined toward strangers and took a great liking for Mr. Culbertson; The exchange of fellow admiration was mutual and when Sant bade his lady friend good night the dog sneaked away and followed him back to town, a distance of some miles. When the young lady discovered her loss she fairly went wild. Fun making friendscharged Sant with purloining tho animal, and an icy atmosphere suddenly surrounded the young lady whenever hor admiring Sant was near. We do not known whether tho balmy breezes of spring have yet tlmwod out that chill or not.
