Stub learned his profession easily Ho was a natural coon hunter He could follow a raccoon over miles of then could territory unerringly andand send it flush” it from its lair Scooting up a tree After which he would stand barking loudly on guard until the hunters came up If the tree was a slender sapling from which one or more of the human pursuers was strong enough to Shake loose the unlucky coon’s grasp then Stub could be relied on to finish the fugitive the instant the prey’s body hit the ground Great was Stub When a little more than a pup he gained renown as a coon dog even in that region where coon dogs of high abilities were of his plentiful Then in the height of his first early prune befell the an accident aeveral bad accidents— which barred him henceforth and forever from the ranks of trained coon Chasers One night Stub started out on his own account to find and tree a raccoon He found one and he gave The raccoon dived under a chase barbed wire fence Stub tried to clear tiie fence in his stride and thus to swoop down upon the raccoon from above He miscalculated the height of the In topmost strand of barbed wire — trying to clear it one of the barbs went through the tendon of his left hind leg The dog’s flying body was brought up with a jerk There from the top of the fence he hung snagged by the wire and unable to move Only his left hind leg was caught but he hung head downward unable to kick himself free For two whole days Stub hung there tortured by heat and by pain z and by thirst He was accidentally found at last But it was too late and released The left hind leg had to be amputated at the hock That ended his fast running career No longer could he chase and overhaul raccoons and by his speed and prowess force them to climb trees to get out of his way As a coon dog he w as a worthless back number Holtsberry did not need him any more Yet his owner did what he could for the cripple He sent him to the Ohio state hospital at Columbus for tieatment There he was worked over in vain A cork leg was made for him But he had not the patience to use it He was learning to peg along on three legs and to make fairly good speed in that way Passing through Newark Ohio the flueer little dog decided to stay there Perhaps he was ashamed to go back to the country Where he could no longer continue Ws d He clung to the running board old time trade of coon dog Stub was a dog of strong inclinations One morning in the autumn of 1925 Patrolman Andrew Harter of the Newark police force set out from the station house at top speed driving the patrol wagon He was responding to a hurry call From the sidemonwalk appeared a grel which leaped to the running board of the fast moving wagon The dog was Stub That was established afterward when the question of his ownership came up and when the police refused to part with him the swaying running Gripping board with his three sets of toes Stub set up a thunderous barking Thus he rode all the way to the patrol wagon’s destination Thus too he rode back again presently to police headquarters By the time the wagon's trip was over Stub and Patrolman Andrew Stub had Harter were friends adopted Harter as his new boss He made this clear to everyone at headquarters as he pattered into the building at Harter’s three-legge- '" d heels That was the beginning of Stub's career as a police station mascot The patrol wagon was his chief delight Perhaps that is why he attached himself so devotedly to Harter the wagon's driver Like most dogs Stub was crazy about motoring The speed and the noise of the patrol wagon thrilled him From his perch on its running board he would bark deafenlngly throughout the whole trip But he would sometimes accompany patrolmen on their beats or follow one of the station’s detectives in a stroll of the city One day he was with Detective Charles walking O’Connor As he and the detective -

crossed the square a speeding motor car swung in from a side street Before O'Connor could snatch the dog out of danger the car had hit Stub flinging the luckless mongrel into the gutter There lay Stub in agony yet refusing to whimper as O’Connor picked him up The dog’s right front leg was crushed Yes Stub had a genius for accidents! The detective carried the stricken dog tenderly back to the station and a vet was sent for in a rush to set the broken leg The entire police force constituted itself Into a nursing corps to look after its hurt mascot A soft blanket was spread on the floor as a bed for him As he could not turn over when he was restless the nearest policeman would shift his position so that he could lie on his other side Stub’s blanket was just outside the cells The prisoners were as keenly interested in him as were the police and they would call to the nearest officer when they thought Stub was hungry or thirsty or needed to be turned on his other side Two months the dog was crippled Then the broken leg was well again and Stub took up anew his duties as volunteer policeman and mascot Soon afterward another car grazed him inflicting a deep gash in another of his legs But this was soon healed Having outlived three bad accidents it might have been supposed the much injured Stub would be immune from further mishaps But he was not In spite of fussily careful precautions taken by his police friends One morning in the autumn of 1927 Stub was drowsing in the sun In the station house when the hooting of fire sirens sounded on the street outside Out he dashed with his usual eager to see what was the matter and to follow the engines But he reached the middle of the street an Instant too soon A fire truck hit and killed him The whole city mourned Stub His police friends gave him a solemn funeral With him they buried the "official” police badge he always wore on his collar (Copyright 1932 McNaught cate
