“L[i]ke the famous general, after whom he was named, Napoleon, Ithaca’s versatile bulldog, has been exiled from his native land.
Napoleon was ‘arrested’ several days ago after he attempted to remove a piece of flesh from one of
Policeman Avery D. Smith’s legs. ‘Nap’ was doomed to death as several similar complaints had been received pertaining to his behavior.
But the members of the Skull fraternity, to which ‘Nap’ is the spasmodic property, saved his life and agreed to keep him tied up at the chapter house. Yesterday, ‘Nap,’ longing for his downtown haunts, broke his leash and came down the Hill.
‘Nap’ was conversing with
Thurlow Bergen, the actor, in front of the
Ithaca Hotel, when the Skull man captured him. Now they’re going to send him to a stock farm, conducted by one of the Skull men’s brothers, in Monmouth, County, New Jersey.”
