“Tip” had his leg broken last Friday by/ getting in front of Dr. C. E. Broad’s horse. Who is “Tip”? you ask. He is the bull terrier dog owned by Rural Mail Carrier E. E. Ragon, with whom he has made his daily rounds for more than six years, missing but very few trips in that time. His weekly stunt is 156 miles, which equals 8112 miles in a year and nearly 50,000 miles since hd has been performing his self-imposed task, which he enjoys in the highest degree. He without doubt holds the world’s record for dog travel. He is now going around on three legs with his broken leg done up in splints but will soon be ready for his dally rounds again.— Lowell Tribune.
