'Who Was Responsible For The
Rockville Centre "Walk Out"
No One Knows
To own a peifectly substantial chicken coop without a chicken—or even a rooster—to put in It is bad enough under ordinary circumstances. But to own the poultry house without the blrls, aud to be awakened aud ouuoyeO by dogs locked therein -that l0 enough to cause almost anj thing tldB Bide of exasperation.. John Carey of Ocean Side road, la ready to bear testimony to the fact tbut he aia ac¬ tually find dog.'i in the coop where chlckeaf ought to be; As to wbtther or not he used force to extricate tiicm or whether they just -vaudereu out themBel'es (s the unknown tiuantlty of this 'tory.
The tact reninlnc that upon a date not Ion..; ago t^vo of the luost oU'icial dog catchers ot Rockville Centre, Sam¬ uel Cai man and Kdwin Kltzgeraid en¬ gaged in the execution of tuolr ofti- cial duties, galhered up six dogs oil the street and at ouce souglii on of¬ ficial pound for their storage, 'n the abscnc-j of one they decided to and ini- medlately did store toe se.xteite in the "poultry house of Carey.
When Carey wai* av.akene^d from his Bleep on Wednesday Bigbl by the howling and baramg of doK.* and found the entire six yelping :ii the moon, te tried to count ten to hide hlB auger, but it was no use. So he iliot up and went out to Investigate. He found the dogs ail intact.
What happened to then after that is pure.y a matter of conjectur.. with «very one except Carey. >ie says he -iUd nui.4«'t ttieui out. Hovever, tbey did gel out, and so lar as can be learh- ed, are blill at large.
When the oHlcial dt/g caichers learu ed tnai some one had iibt rated the dogs iliey becaiiu' jusiiy indignaie, and ai ouce began a aeurcii lor ineiii Lacn dbg repiesents 51.
A professional dog ca'.:cher from Urooklyn, who was engaged a yei:rago especially to catcli Uogs lu lio-ckvule (Centre, had a similar expei ience. lie eslabilened bis pound on Alerrickroad and managed to collect a nuiuoer ol dogs lo Biore in it. Things we>-(. be- gmniug to look like |1£> in real mon ey when some one liberated every one of those canine. And thu thing hap¬ pened right under the nose^ ot the po¬ lice.
The a'l nation arising from the most recent "wala out" of tm^ prihonei dogs must be coped with by the -. iUage trustees.'.'
