DOG THAT SAVED A CITY. Baito, one of the most famous dogs in the world, has died from old age in the Dog’s Hospital at Cleveland, Ohio. Eight years have passed since he won high honour for himself and his master. Gunnar Kasson, whose name will never be forgotten at Nome, in Alaska. In the spring of 1925 diphtheria was raging in that remote city and its people were dying like flies owing to the want of anti-toxin. Gunnar Kasson hurried to the rescue from Nenena. 660 miles away, on a sledge drawn by a team of which Baito was the lender. The journey took five days and Kasson suffered agonies from frost-bite. The wind had blown the snow sothat it covered up the trail, and Kasson would have been lost but for the unerring instinct and perseverance of his brave Baito. Indeed, Gunnar Kasson gave all the credit for his wonderful exploit to the dog that refused to give up. FILLUPS a-iM
