DOG IN BEAR'S BEN
FOUND AFTER 12 DAYS [from our own correspondent] DURBAN. Nov. 24 A remarkable incident occurred 011 a farm on tho outskirts of lxopo, Natal. A dog, wlii.'h had been missing for 12 clays, was found in an ant bear hole. The owner of the dog had given up all hope of finding the animal, but some natives reported that they hail heard a dog whimpering in an ant bear hole and were immediately sent to extricate him. l'ufus, which is a large half-bred bull terrier, had, apparently in following a scent, squeezed himself into ilie hole, and, once in, found himself a prisoner. He appears to be none the worse for his experience beyond having lost a good deal of weight during his 12 days' imprisonment.
