! Quite little excitement occurred yesterday
in front Of the store Of Eliason Bros,
occasioned by the attempt on the part of one
of our citizens TO shoot AIesars. Elason's dog
Grip, by whom he had been seriously
aggrieved on more than one occasion. The
attempt failed on account of it being
dangerous to the crowd collected to risk
| another shot. Grip has very bad reputation
and more than one has sworn vengeance
| against him il the opportunity occurs, and it
will be surprising If there isn't one dog less in
town in short time.
