SHE FOUGHT THE DOG CATCHERS.
Mrs. Hamblen Saves Fido, but His Mate Is
Carried Off.
Over a hundred men, women and boys
witnessed a lively battle of fifteen minutes
yesterday between Mrs. G. E. Hamblen of
669 Avenue D, Bayonne, and two wardens
of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals who were bent upon impound-
ing two dogs belonging to her. The ani-
mals were unlicensed and were caught
sunning themselves on the sidewalk. Their
yelps as they were being carried to the
wagon brought Mrs. Hamblen out on the
steps, and she tackled the wardens. After a
struggle the wardens got one of the dogs
into the wagon pen, but Mrs. Hamblen
wrested the other from them and cried
"Get home, Fido!" Fido needed no second
bidding. When the wardens attempted to
drive off Mrs. Hamblen held on to the
horses' heads while the crowd cheered.
She finally gave up and Fido's mate went
to the pound.
