DOG HOLDS THE FORT.
EPISODE ON A BUS. The remarkable behaviour of a dog bn the top of a bus in London one night a few weeks ago resulted in the bus being driven to a police station for the dog to be ejected. The story began at Tooting where the dog, a medium-sized brown terrier, apparently a stray, mounted the bus and climbed to the top deck. The conductor attempted to remove the animal, but owing to its behaviour he decided to leave the matter to the police. Accordingly the bus continued on its wray—and the top deck w r as quickly cleared of passengers. On arrival at dies wick the conductor called a policeman, who, after several attempts to move the dog, gave up, and the bus was driven to Chiswick police station, where it required the combined effort of several police officers to remove the unwanted “ passenger.” On examination it was thought that the dog was suffering from disease, and it rvas destroyed.
