BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1945 PAGES 7 TO 14 GETS $5 paying fine at the city pound where Boomer was found after she had broken the city ordinance by barking and cavorting in the city streets to celebrate her adoption by Santa Fe Railroad yardmen, Harry B. Gardner, Santa Fe switchman, read the canine mascot the city dog laws governing doggie behavior. "Doggone it," said Boomer, "there ought to be a law against picking on pooches." Santa Fe Mascot Prefers Rail to Priority Air Travel Unlike Colonel Elliott Roosevelt's air-minded bull mastiff, Blase, the canine mascot of Santa Fe yardmen in Bakersfield does her traveling by rail. No pampered the yardmen's dog. Boomer, a lady canine of uncertain lineage, "rode the blinds" into Bakersfield and in true bindlestiff tradition was immediately threatened with.a term in the city's dog pound for vagrancy.

That's where Santa Fe's generous yardmen entered the picture. The railroaders who saw Boomer's plight and decided a doggie who was loyal to the railroads deserved a better fate, took up a collection, paid for her license, had her vaccinated against rabies and bought her a new'harness. ut Boomer had failed to look up her status as a citizen in the city ordinance, and soon fell afoul of the law again while on a stroll In her new harness when she barked too loud. The poundman came again and took her away. But Harry Gardner, Santa Fe switchman, discovered Boomer had disappeared and traced her to the city pound where he paid her fine and brought her back to the switch yard shanty.

Today Boomer in a chastened mood promised to obey all laws. Said Boomer today: "Guess there's one law for guys like Blaze that ride in airplanes and another for pooches like me, but I'll get along.
