horseback, in company with his broth
er, from Akron, just after turning into

started, and soon after the blood was
seen issuing from bullet wound iii
the animals flank. He succeeded in
getting the animal home, but it has
since died of its injuries. We under
stand that it is common for sportsmen
to resort to that locality to indulge in
target shooting, and that much care
lessness is manifested by them, so
much as to greatly endanger the lives
of persons and property in the vicinity.
This practice is in violation of an or
dinance of the town, and should not
be INDUCED in.
