Docs POISONED. Rover, well-known
dog, died yesterday morning, but he had
a hard time trying to do it. He was a
pup that, as he grew to age, became very
fond of steak, especially il it was good
sized steak; so yesterday morning he
with it a good sized morsel of strych-
nine. The strychnine did not succeed
in making him shuttle off this mortal
coil, SO q sledge hammer was brought
into requisition, with which he was hit
on the head five times, MASKING in his
skull, etc. this even did not kill him, so
at last an Indian was employed to choke
him to death with rope, and then haul
him to the graveyard. The rope and the
hauling finished the job. Some one will
make grand mistake scattering this
poison around; they will be found out
and be made to eat it themselves-it will
give tone to their stomachs.
TIaEn" is the cognomen of well
known dog that belonged to the former
carrier OF the REooRp but of late years
has been taken care Of by Fred Hatch.
Among the dogs that took dose of
poison yesterday morning was Tiger,
but in the afternoon he was running
around as lively as usual, owing to the
exertions of Johnny Hill and some
others giving him poison antidotes.
Tiger sometime ago took dose, which
has crippled him considerably, but he
don't seem to care as he fights as we'll as
ever and is always at it.
