traveling 1,200 miles overland through a strange country in the surprisingly bhort period of nine days, a road stained Scotch collie forgot for a few moments of his aching and weariness as he sprang with joy about his old home here last After the first- welcome a sound sleep and for hours could not be awakened. Yesterday, aside from being slightly lame arid rather gaunt the faithful animal appears a little the worse for his long hard trip. "Dan" is owned by G. R. Bolen, for a number of years proprietor of tlie South Omaha Van Storage at 621 N.

24th street, South Omaha. On September 14 Mr. and Mrs. Bolen left for their new home at Yazoo, in their automobile, taking with them their pet dog "Dan." A (ew days ago a letter came to Fred Beverage, brother-in-law of Mr. Bolen, and his successor in the transfer business in South Omalia, which was written one week ago last Sunday, in which it was stated that Mrs.

Bolen and "Dan" were out picking strawberries, showing he was there nine days ago. Tuesday "Dan" appeared back at his old home in South Omaha, hav ing made the trip unaccompanied, overland. He was positively identified by the father of Mr. Bolen and the employes about the transfer barn and others, who knew the canine well. He still wore a small leather strap about his neck he had worn away.

He showed the effects of long travel, his feet being inflamed to a certain degree. That the trip made by "Dan" is one of the most remarkable on record, there can be no doubt. The shortest railway line out of Omaha to Vicksburg, which is about twenty-five miies south of Yazoo, is 1,091 miles. Thus Dan must have averaged for the nine days on the road 118 miles a day, every foot of which he doubtless traveled along the highway over which he had gone south with his master. Following the route taken by his master going, the dog undoubtedly in returning passed through Memphis, Cairo and East St.

Louis. Reaching the latter place he crossed the Eades bridge to St. Louis, going thence to Kansas City and then to Omaha. It is probable that the auto road was somewhat longer than is the railroad line, hence Dan probably traveled at least 1,200 milies. One week ago Monday Mr.

Bolen wrote a letter from Vicksburg to his father in Omaha, stating that he was just leaving for New Orleans, in his He made no mention of Dan so it is just possible that the dog uid not leave Yazoo until after his master had left for Vicksburg, which would cut the dog'a traveling period down. Tuesday Mr. Beverage sent a night telegram to Mr. Bolen at New Orleans reading, "Your dog is here safe and Stop the Child's Often Result Seriously.
