A scandal is brewing in the ranks of high society in the Igorrote colony at the World's Fair grounds. Two dogs are missing! Last Monday six dogs were imprisoned in the Philippine reservation at the Fair. They were being subjected to a fattening process at the hands of the purchasing agent.
Yesterday only four dogs graced the kennel. The two missing dogs we4re yellow dogs, too. The Igorrote prefers yellow dog for his diet.
While the Government officials are not inclined to question the honesty of any member of the Igorrote tribe, the nature of the case is such as to make the disappearance of the canines a most suspicious transaction.
It is known that the Igorrote has been yearning for a baked dog. it is also known that the members of the World's Fair colony have not tasted toothsome dog meat for over two months. It is admitted by the officials that the barking of the dogs would, in all probability, drive the Igorrotes into fits of desperation.
Figuring per a Sherlock Holmes deduction, it would have been the most natural thing for the Igorrote to arise in the stillness of the night and divest the kennel of its yellow dogs.
Without drawing conclusions, the bare fact remains that two yellow dogs are gone.
Putting two and two together, the men engaged in unraveling this deep mystery of the Igorrote division can make their own conclusions.
It is said that at breakfast in the Cuartel yesterday morning three or four Igorrotes appeared supremely contented and begged to be excused when the waiter passed the beef.
