HOUNDS TO TRACK CRIMINALS.
Chief of Police Secures Two From
Mississippi Breeder.
Chief of Police D. E. Bowdon of Kansas City, Kas., yesterday closed a deal for a pair of bloodhounds to be used in the city in running down criminals. The hounds were secured from Mississippi and are all well trained. The owner of the dogs has consented to turn them over to the local authorities on the latter's agreement that they are to be placed in the hands of some one competent to take good care of them, the only compensation being the rewards offered for the capture of all fugitives brought to justice through the working of the hounds. Special Agent Crews of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company has consented to take charge of the dogs and keep them in training.
