1.-THE West Side interests Of Tho Tribune
have been placed in the hands Of Emer.
son Owen, to whom all news announce
ments and complaints may be addressed.l
Some wretch Is at work on this side
killing valuable dogs by the use OF
strychnine. Last week Photographer
Starner's canine was poisoned upon eat
Ing a quantity of meat which had been
dosed with the deadly material. The
animal was saved by constant atten-
ton during the whole of one night by
the owner.
Undertaken Wymbs lost valuable
dog, death resulting from poison. Mr..
Trostel, the Jackson street meat man,
owned dog, which was made the VIC
tim Of the soulless poisoners, and Lou
Bunnelrs dog. for which the owner
refused an offer of $35 a few days ago,
died Sunday, after eating a piece OF
refuse meat By the coincidence that
each animal had the some kind OF
symptoms, and, also, that the ravages
are being committed in rapid success
sion. indicates that the same person or
persons are doing the nefarious work.
| The owners Of the unfortunate CANNES
are Justly vehement and an effort Is
being made to root up the depredators.
| The police are also on the watch.
Shot at Pigeons.
Will James and Steve Soloski shot a
match at pigeons yesterday on the
commons, near the old brick yard, and
at its conclusion each man had shot
seven birds, thus making tie. Eleven
pigeons were shot at by each contest
ant. James killed his first three and
Soloski missed the same number. This
created odds in favor Of James. but by
good headwork the other killed enough
Of the remaining seven to make the tie.
Betting was fast and free, partly owing
to the recent pay days at the mines and
also because Of the excitement and un-
certainty Of the match Birds were bet
on singly. one man going two to one
on an imported pigeon. James killed
It easily. twenty-five dollars was the
stake. A crowd Of 500 persons wit
messed the match.
Finally Lost Ills Eyesieht.
An account OF Edward Crane, Of
Casey Bros. striking young son Of
William Powell, of North Garfield ave-
nne in the eye with piece Of hard
ened clay about three months ago. was
given In this department. Crane was
then arrested and placed under bail to
await the result Of the injury. The
boys eyesight was totally destroyed
and, as Cranes bail had run out, he was
re-arrested. At the second hearing,
Crane consented to pay the doctors
bill and other costs. Crane is driver
for Casey Bros. and was passing near
Gammon's hill when a crowd Of boys
irsulted him. He moved to scare them
and picked up the clay, throwing It at
the boy with the result stated.
Married at the ParIor City.
AT Binghamton. the birthplace of all
unheralded marriages, on July II, John
Rogers. of South Hyde Park avenue,
and Miss Annie James, Of South Re-
becca avenue, were quietly married by
Rev. Mr.. Jennings, OF that city. The an
nouncement Is source Of surprise to
the couples friends, but, after the first
confusion which naturally resulted,
congratulations came pouring In upon
the young people. Mr.. Rogers Is an en-
ploye Of NJ. j. Kelley's manufactury.
and the bride is the friend of all that
know her. They will reside on South
Rebecca avenue.
Will II Ever End?
A brand new fakir, the fourth in
almost as many days. struck US last
night. He attracted crowds by the
tinkling Of bell. Many were swlndled,
as usual. Whether or net the supposi-
ton that West Side brains are more OBJ
tuse than others. and attracts them
hither, the fakirs only are capable Of
answering.
