Deputy City Poundmaster Seal Has Narrow Escape.
Timely Arrival of Poundmaster Cox Saved Helpless Man From being Torn to Pieces.
    Denver, Colo. March 11.-Prostrate on the floor of a chamber six feet square with seventy-five ferocious dogs raging about him snapping at his body. Thomas Seal, deputy city poundmaster, was nearly bitten to death here at the city pound. Only the arrival of Poundmaster Cox, in response to the shrieks of his assistant saved the helpless man from being torn to pieces.
    Seal had taken in all dogs doomed except a savage St. Bernard which fought him until they reached the pit, and then as he cast off his muzzle, it seized his arm and both fell into the pit. The other dogs rushed upon him and he was badly bitten before he could be rescued.
