HE APPEARED, DOGS LEFT.

Police Judge Figures Out the Answer
and the Fine's $500.

Harry Yost, who said he was a veterinary surgeon from Stilwell, Kas., was fined $500 in the municipal court yesterday on a technical charge of vagrancy. Detectives Andy O'Hare and Samuel Lowe, who arrested Yost, said that whenever the latter appeared in the neighborhood where there was a fine bred dog, the animal promptly disappeared.

L. S. Howe, 1507 Benton boulevard, said that shortly after his dog disappeared Yost came to his home to see if there was a reward for it. He also said that Yost had been seen in the neighborhood and left about the same time the canine disappeared. The detectives said that many valuable bird dogs had been stolen in this city and shipped to other places and sold. Fox terriers which were stolen here were sold in this city, as they are hard to identify.

The detectives have been seeking a pedigreed bird dog which was stolen from Jesse Worley, a newspaper man, and say it was shipped to an Oklahoma town and sold. They intimate that Yost knows something about the disappearance of this dog.
