DOG KILLING Walking a straight line is Il
test of sanity when applied to humanity, but
the reverse obtains when the canine race is to
be Judged, especially if the gait be changed in-
to run, and the dog now seen, looking Meth
er to the right nor left but running in straight
line anywhere in the ueghborhood is in imnli
nent peril of his life. One beated cur on his
way home, as fast as his feet would carry him,
met his doom at the upper end of Duke street
last night, his destroyer being under the sup
position that he was mad.
