Dunn, Sept. 17—Joe, a grizzled shepherd dog, has proved himself a hero by saving his mistress from probable death when her dress caught fire.
When Mrs. Martha Wood, who lives on the outskirts of Dunn, attempted to start a fire from a liquid she supposed to be kerosene, but which was gasoline, an explosion occurred, setting fire to her clothing. She ran screaming to the back porch, under which Joe was snoozing. The dog leaped to the aid of his mistress, tearing off the burning clothing.
