DOG COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Thin Spaniel Could Not Stand llully
iug of Kennel Mate, It In Thought,
So Kiwis Life with Um.
Mig, a pet spaniel owned by Lafay
ette Heidell, of Rochester, N. Y., is
dead, and the manner of his shuffling
off establishes a precedent in dogdom.
He died by asphyxiation, and whether
the case is one of suicide or murder is
puzzling the disconsolate owner.
In company with a bull pup Mig oc
cupied comfortable quarters In Mr
Heidell’s home for several years, and
his lot was happy, far beyond that of
the ordinary dog. If his end was in
duced by his own devices the cause for |
the act is hard to trace. Motive for
the murderous deed on the part of the
bull pup is equally difficult to find.
Therefore mystery surrounds the lam
entable case. But Mig is certainly
dead.
Mr. Heidell was awakened one night
recently by a nauseating odor of gas.
Being familiar with the use of gas
jets, he was convinced that he had not
blown out the gas before retiring, so
he searched the premises to discover
the leak.
The cause of the trouble was found
in the kitchen, where the gas range
was discharging its fuel from an open
pipe. Near the range were stretched
the two dogs. Evidently they had be
come restless and In moving around
the stove had opened the stop-cock.
Both had been overcome, and Mig had
passed away to the dogs' paradise.
After some trouble the bull pup was
revived and is still in the ring, though
weak.
Persons acquainted with Mlg’s dis- i
position are inclined to believe that,
long suffering from the pop’s bullying
abuse, he sacrificed bis life it, a spirit
of revenge.
