LIFE OF GROVER

CLEVELAND SAVED

Grover Cleveland had a narrow escape from suffering an igno­minious death last week in Cov­ington. He was destined to die Saturday, but a kind friend came to the rescue and Grover is tickled almost to death.

He is exceedingly grateful that his life was spared; he is also pleased because there is a new spangle on his neck, which, in short, saved Grover’s life.

Grover Cleveland in Covington is nothing less than a dog. He is the property of Dan Hemingray, and when Dan heard that Grover had been a victim of the dog catcher’s net and was waiting death in the pound, he immediate­ly paid [dollar:$3] to save his animal friend.

Hemingray himself applied for the license tag at City Clerk Craig’s office.

"Give a description of your dog,” said the clerk.

He had Hemingray going. Grover Cleveland is just a dog — a common curbstone setter, Hemin­gray says. That was the kind of an entry made on the books, and Grover was ordered released from the pound.
