DOG TEAM OF WILLIAM SOPHER

William, the 11 year old son of J. I. Sopher of this city, has a dog team which has attracted much attention here and which he recently refused $100 for. The team was trained by the boy and pulls both wagon or sled almost as fast as a good sized pony.

The dogs are a cross between bull and shepherd, are a year old and willing workers. William gets into his wagon with a boy friend and his team starts without a hitch. He is justly proud of his trained dogs and is to be complimented for his success in teaching them. The dogs are known as Prince and Watch. The latter will drive single. They have pulled as much as 600 pounds.
