Show Dog's Strange Adventure. A terrier at Tursdale Colliery, Durham, Dur-ham, England, some time ago was seen to enter a coal hopper after a rat, and on returning a search was made, but he could not be found. After Aft-er being lost for a fortnight, however, he was recently delivered at the opposite op-posite end of the hopper on the endless end-less belt in a weak and emaciated condition. Thousands of tons of coal in an almost continuous stream have been passing through the hopper slnoe the dog entered It, and It is conjectured conjec-tured he escaped death by lying on a batten at one side until he fell off through weakness and was carried out by the belt. He is recovering rapidly. |
