 The dogs are beginning to get in their
 work in the sheep folds. Yesterday z.
 P. Beach heard dogs in the flock of sheep south of his house on the west
 side of the town, owned by Charles N. Jones, and started out with his gun
 and arrived on the spot just in time to
 find that three dogs had corralled the flock of sheep in corner of the lot
 and just getting ready to begin busi- ness. He let both barrels of his gun go
 and the dogs took sudden leave be- fore any serious damage was done. MT.
 Jones reports six of his sheep missing,
 but thinks likely they may be found | elsewhere on the farm. Every year the 1 town has to settle for damages to sheep 1 by dogs, and some years the bill is quite heavy. There is a worthless lot of CUTS registered every year. and many not registered, that are allowed to roam at will, and it is usually this class of dogs that make such havoc among the farmers sheep.
