Some miscreant who has no love
for fellowman In his heart has been
poisoning the pet dogs of several OF
our citizens. There is one case that is
especially sad, and that is that of Jas.
Colley who lost an old companion
and friend IN this manner. Any per-
son who will do acts of this kind viii,
if opportunity offers, rob and kill.
Unfortunately we have lost the
list taken at the normal institute for
the Western School sTqn7naL We
wish all who subscribed for the paper
TO send us their names. We wish all
who paid cash to make the fact known
in order that they may receive proper
credit. o. l.. SAITH,
