Mayor Herbert ls u believer In the
law as he finds ii, and to speak can
didly the people here have shown
great respect for the law during his
two years Of Office. Last year only
el4 were turned In to the city, while 1t
cost over Si700 to pay the guardians
OF the peace. This certainly speaks
well for the city and Its government.
But a serious oifense has recently
been committed here for which there
is no law to punish the Offenders.
Some people here In town have cut
lot OF herring In two and then placed
poison in both ends, laid tho tish as
bait for chickens and dogs which
might ramble into. their,truok patches.
One night last week O valuable dog
was poisoned In this way. and the
trucker threw the dead dog on the
street, where 1t lay all the next day.
Large numbers of chickens have boon
reported as having been poisoned.
The other day a little boy 4 years OF
age went on the open lot and had q
half of q herring going around tho
street smelling IL. The truck patch is
not fenced in In any manner. and both
the mayor and the people In the
neighborhood are much worried over
| the poisoned grounds. Mayor Herbert
states that there Is no law he Is aware
OF which covers such caeo. City
! council will pass an ordinance In the
near future to cover such a case as
mentioned.
