Town Sergeant Arthur has gotten
the tags that the Council has ordered
all dog owners to place on their ca
mines, and is giving them out to ali
who want them at five cents apiece.
The tags are very neat and pretty,
and any dog may be proud to wear
one of them. According to the law
any dog that is found on the street
without tag will be taken up by the
Sergeant and killed unless its owner
paws his ransom. OF course the law
will not apply to the dogs of farmers
that simply follow teams to town.
