II In pursuance of call issued by q
Il number of leading citizens, a mass meet
ing was held on Friday night. in the
large committee room on the third floor
of DeLamar's new and magnificent
flown hall.
Mr.. Jose IN French, who, in few we'll
i chosen remarks stated that the meeting
had been convened for the purpose of
considering what, inihe interest Of the
/ citizens of DeLsmar, it was best TO do
with the 1900 and odd dogs now owned
by our men, Women, boys and girls. He
was pleased TO see such a large number
OF prominent citizens present and hoped
TO see good results come from their de-
| alterations.
Messrs. James Pascoe and Sarr Scad-
den was respectively chosen as Chair
nan and Secretary Of the meeting, and
the Chairman being escorted to the
platform, thanked those present for the
honor conferred, bat felt that it was
not deserved as either Captain Plum
mer or Dick Halves were owners of
more dogs than he and one of them
should have been invited to preside.
Yet, while his wealth in numbers of
CANNES vas not as great as that OF some
others present, lie claimed to have the
best bred dog in town. This last re-
mark nearly caused disturbance in
meeting, there being low murmnrs of
dissent heard from the seals occupied
from behind HE desk of the secretary. |
Jim Dohety shouted Bring in the
hogs too. Hogs are AS great nuisance
as The dogs.n Order, however, being re-
stored, Mr.. Guy Newcomb succeeded |
in catching the eye of the chairman
aud made brief address. He stated I
that the meeting had been called partly
upon his suggestion and that the idea
had occurred to him that morning when
he had actually counted thirty nine
2
dogs all Of high degree, assembled on
his porch at one time. The s9eaker.
himself that be WAS one
of he very few individuals in town who
did not own dog, He owned up to
one small cat, but as for ours, nary a
one had be, and he thought here were
fifteen hundred people in town who
wo Md be better off ware they similarly
barring the cat He was in
favor Of universal slaughter of the I;
logs from Wagontown to Boonville.
The loudest disorder followed this last
'emark and the speaker was not allowed !
