About one o'clock yesterday afternoon
one OF the many worthless ours that are
permitted to roam about the city, attacked
and killed a very valuable black and tan
dog, the property of Chas, Boulter. The
murderous canine was a powerful animal,
and his victim was one of those little pet
dogs that could be easily carried in ones
coat pocket. When Mr.. Boulter learned
that his pet was killed, he procured a
revolver and started in search of the muir
derous brute. Boulter espied him near
the Baptist church, and sent a ball after
him, but wounded the brute only slightly,
1t is a great pity that the dog finally es-
capped, and will soon be in good condition
to commit more d%epredations.
