Old Gus the famed Sedalia dog dies at home
The 200 pound St. Bernard known as Old Gus died at his summer home near Smithton Missouri. He became famous two years earlier when he dodged a dog catcher as cheering schoolchildren watched.

The dog catcher pursued him past Broadway School but Gus eluded capture and was eventually tied up by his owner. He was often seen on Sedalia streets across downtown.
