LITTLE WHITE POODLE DOG
SOMEWHERE IN CHARLOTTE
Was En Route From Tied Springs
to Black Mountain and Stop
ped Off at Station Here.
. . .'- 1 --'V:''
A female voice on the telephone im
plored Desk Sergeant McLaughlin, at
police headquarters, yesterday ' after
noon to search for a little white poodle
dog which has strayed. : Said dog, so
the voice told the sergeant, was en
route 'from Red Springs to Black
Mountain. The dog stopped off tt
Charlotte and evidently became so
fascinated ' with' the Queen City that
he decided, to make this his future
abode. True, he was in a cute little
box,' beautifully colored, and was rld
tag in an express car. But appar
ently, he didn't like the .cute little box
because he managed to get out of it
in some mysterious manner.
: The name of the dog was. not given,
but the police were of the opinion
that he doubtless changed ( his name
on alighting here to escape detection.
Nevertheless, an effort is being
made to locate' the. little white, poodle
to satisfy the nervous voice over the
telephone. The call came from Red
Springs, and. the dog will be ordered
to go back home' at once4t he is,
found, so the police said.

Charlotte folks were complimenting
the weather man on the good weather
yesterday. The report of Meteorologist
Atto shows that it was a fine day. Per
chance few could hark , back to the
days and halt on the corresponding
date of last year and sum up weather
conditions of that dreary time. The
mean temperature for December 80,
1917, was 10 degrees and when Henry
Alexander brought the report to The
Observer office last night the veracity
of his report : was questioned, but
he held that the mean was 10 degrees
and that the thermometer on that
day did at one time early in the
morning drop down to almost lero.
The mean for yesterday was 40 de
grees, which is considered a perfectly
proper temperature fbr a day of this
season since no excess nor deficiency
in temperature was registered on Mr.
Atto's report. ' The? highest tempera
ture for the day was 62 degrees, and
the thermometer dropped to 27 de
grees as the lowest - 4
