Brindle Is Some Dog, Meets All Trains At Shellsburg, Knows Most Travelers

SHELLSBURG, Feb. 22-- His name is Brindle. He has no pedigree. He is a brindle bull dog; his age is ten years and his self-selected home is at the Rock Island station in Shellsburg. Beyond a doubt, he has the longest list of friends of any dog in this community.

Brindle was born on the Joe Alden farm, southwest of town, and when a small puppy was given to Mr. Alden's niece, Irene Case, who is now Mrs. Ray Cue. When the family moved to town in 1919, Brindle said farewell to county life and became a well behaved dog for five uneventful years.

Then the Case family moved back to the country, and times without number Brindle was taken to his old home, but the things that kept him happy in puppyhood days had lost their charm. His legs had become stiff but he would slowly walk the five miles back to town.

He formed a strong friendship for John Mantor, night operator, and took up his home at the station.

Brindle is everybody's friend. he meets both day and night passenger trains; he stands on the platform eagerly watching the through freights -- he likes the rumble of the wheels and the clanging bells, but best of all he likes to mingle with the people as they come and go. he knows the conductors and brakemen, and welcomes the traveling men on their weekly trips.

He makes the rounds of the passengers waiting in the station and if the eager look in his eyes for a bit of attention fails to attract, he wags his long bony tail and gives a sharp bark. A pat on the head or having his back scratched is complete satisfaction. He always notices children and does not object to their playful teasing.

Brindle

The last year, Brindle has been thinking of his kind mistress for several times he has walked to the farm, made a short stay and returned to town.

Not knowing Brindle had an owner who would like to keep him at home, Mayor O. M. Johnson, last month gave notice to S. S. Worley, station agent, that the dog had but two weeks to live unless his 1927 license was obtained. There was talk of taking up a collection to procure the needed dollar, but when Ira Case heard of the situation, it was but a few days until Brindle was wearing a fine collar and a new tag. So he is privileges to stay with us another year and no doubt will continue to make acquaintances for his friendship list. One wonders if he ever has a longing to board a train and search for some far-away "land of dreams."

Irene Case married Ray Everett Cue, son of Leroy Cue and Maude Evelyn Wilt, on 3 November 1925 at the Baptist Church parsonage, Shellsburg, Benton Co., IA,
