Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - December 9, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Pop Ugek s concluded. Podgers used full Flavoured language. I looked at my watch and found that we could Only do the train. Having out Side car the breakfast loss Podgers seated himself upon one Side whilst i took the oth after a very considerable expenditure billiard labor and skilful strategy in which we were aided by the Carman and miss Byrne we succeeded in forcing Albatross the Pointer into the Well in the Middle. I am free to confess that i sat with my Back to that animal with considerable misgivings. He looked hungry and As though a piece of human flesh would prove As agree Able to his capacious maw As any other description of food. It was his habit too Dur ing our journey to elevate his head in the air and to give utterance to a series of the most unearthly Bowling which could Only be partially interrupted not by any Means Podger s Liat being pressed closely Over the Mouth whilst Podgers punched him a i cry with no very Light hand. That s the qua rest clog i Ever observed the Driver. To ought to to Schupay rior after badgers. He has a drop in his Eye like a Widdy s pig and it s As Black As a christians s after a auction he s a very line clog exclaimed pod Gers in a reproving tone. He looks As if he d said the Carman Joc Osely. Mind your horse sir said Podgers angrily the Driver who was a Joval tempered Fol Low Findig that his advances towards the Wero towards other Side mine. Are be Goin Huntin wid the to asked. We Are going to i replied in a dignified Way. To shoot thin Bogor a yen May As Well get off the car an Firo away at want. There s an Illi Gaut Haystack for Enist yen and but Here to Are and to jerked up at the in trance to the station. The Jerk sent Albatross Hying off the car arid his Chain being dexterously fastened to the Back rail of the Driver s seat the Luck less animal remained suspended whilst his Collar was being unfastened in order to pro vent the not very Remote contingency of strangulation. Finding himself at Liberty he bounded joyously away and resisting All Wiles and Blandishments on the part of his master continued to bound Gamble frisk. Bark and yowl in a most reckless and idiotic Way. It would not be acting fairly towards Podgers wore i to chronicle his language during this festive outbreak. If the dog was in a frolicsome mood Podgers was not and his feelings got considerably the better of him when the Bell rang to announce the departure of the train within three minutes of that warning. Finding that All Hopes of securing the clog in the Ordinary Way were thin As air Podgers offered a Reward of half a Crown to any of the grinning bystanders who would bring him the dog dead or alive. This stimulus to exertion sent Twenty Corduroy de porters and As Many amateurs in full Pursuit of Al Batross who ducked and dived and twisted and twined and eluded detention with the agility of a greased sow and it was Only when one very corpulent railway official fell upon him in a squashing Way and during a masterly struggle to emerge from the be Neath the overwhelming weight that he was surrounded and led in Triumph by As Many of his pursuers As could obtain a handful of his hair up to his irate and wrathful master. Each of the captors who Wero in pos session of Albatross claimed a fusing to give up the animal unless it was duly and it was during a fierce and angry discussion upon this very delicate question that the last Bell rang. With one despairing tug Podgers pulled the dog inside of the door of the station which was their promptly closed and through the intervention of a Friendly guard our Bete Noire was thrust into the Carriage with us. Having kicked the cause of our Chagrin beneath one of the seats i ventured to remark that in All probability the dog in Stead of being a credit to us was very Likely to prove the reverse. It s Only his liveliness and to hanged to Lurry said Podgers. He has been shut up for some time and is As wild As a deer.1 _ hot would not admit a diminished Faith m the clog but his tone was irresolute and to Oyid the animal in a very doubtful Way. Is liveliness ought to be considerably Down after the rough handling he from my servant and by the Podgers went on that in Fernal woman in t Safe to have in the House hell be tried for murder some Day. And the Coroner will be sitting upon your is my Eye very Black no i replied it had reached a table greenish Hue tinged with a the Law of he yelled in a extremity of terror. Podgers who was now nearly driven to his wit s end caught Albatross by the neck and bestowed a series of very Well directed kicks upon the devoted animal sent him the platform but the o the cry of the dog will be killed was raised by a chorus of voices both from the carriages and the platform. Happily How Ever the now wary Albatross Lay Flat upon the ground and the train went puffing on its Way not however until the guard had taken Podger s name and address with a View to future proceedings through the me the Law. I had no idea that the o Eoo Riey s were Sulci observed my companion As we entered through the massive and gilded Gates to the Avenue which sweeps up to bal a Yawn House. Somehow or other i wish i had t fetched Albatross or that you had not spoken about and Podgers threw a gloomy glance in the direction of the Pointer who Lay at our feet in the Bottom of the trap looking As if he had been on the ram Page for the previous month or had just emerged from the Asylum for the destitute of his species. He won t do us much credit As regards his i said out if to is All that you say As a sporting which i have my will make amends for any thing Podgorsi muttered something unintelligible and i saw dismal forebodings written in every line of his countenance. Or Pir Poney received us at the Hall door. Crouched two ters with Coats As Glossy As mirrors and a bearing As aristocratic As that of bet Gellart. Where s the dog asked our Host after a warm greeting. I Hope that you have brought him i that i would have paid a considerable sum of Money to have been enabled to reply in the negative. I muttered that we had indeed fetched him but that owing to his having met with some accidents in voyage his personal appearance was considerably w o were not to judge books by their covers. As if to worry mortify and vex us Alba Tross declined to stir from the Bottom of the trap from whence he was subsequently rooted out in a most undignified and anti sport ing Way. The expression upon or o Kooney s face when at the animal Badger like was drawn was that of intense astonishment combined with a mirth convulsively expressed. The servants commenced to titter and the smart Little gentleman who tooled us Over actually laughed outright. Albatross was partly covered with mud and offal. His eyes watery and the lids were of a Dull Pink imparting a sort of maudlin idiocy to. Their expression. His right ear stood up defiantly whilst his left Lay Flat upon his jowl and his Tail seemed to have disappeared altogether so tightly had he under combined influence of fear and dejection secured it Between his legs. He s not very observed our Host laughingly but i dare say he will take the Shine out of York and Lancaster by and pointing to the two Fine setters As he spoke. Was enough for Albatross As no a donor had the words escaped the lips of o Loo boy than with a yowl which sent the Rooks whirling from their nests he darted from the trap and making a charge at York sent that aristocratic animal flying up the Avenue in a paroxysm of terror and despair whilst Lancaster paralysed by the sudden Ness of the onslaught allowed himself to be seized by the neck and worried As a cat worries a mouse without As much As moving a muscle in self defence. This was too much. I had borne with this hideous animal too Long. My patience was utterly exhausted and All the bad tem per in my composition began to boil up. I had placed myself under an obligation to a comparative stranger for the purpose of be holding his valuable and magnificent dogs scared and worked by a worthless cur. Seiz ing upon a Garden Rake what Lay against the Wall i dealt at Albatross that ought to have proved a crushing blow which he Art certainly if you can get Lucli i was the Curt had dashed within Twenty Yards of As and was Plu Rigg off in another direct Tion when Podgers ran Forward raised his gun.
