IDENTIFY trying how great nuisance he
can make of himself by poisoning dogs.
The INDEPENDENT has previously had
occasion to refer to the dog killer and
contends now as it did then that any
one who scatters dog poison promiscu-
ously is beneath the respect OF decent
community. There is no excuse for
poisoning dogs at all.
If your neighbor's dog is dangerous
or annoying, or if you have grudge
against him do not poison him. To ad
minister poison is the act of coward
Several dogs have been poisoned within
three or four days. One is known to
have died. Another harmless puppy
which never goes beyond its owners
yard fence, was saved only by prompt
medical attendance. 1t had eaten of a
pigs foot loaded with strychnine and
tossed into the yard. If there is any
one in this city who takes morbid de
light in poisoning dogs it is time he hao
his muddy train fumigated, with the
idea of making him respectable cltl

About Dogs and Dog KILN X

An article in Saturdays DAILY IN
DEPENDENT touching upon dogs and
dog killing has attracted considerable
attention and called out no inconslder-
able comment. This is as it should be
because, though dogs have not COM
mercial value as have cattle, hogs and
horses, they are taxable property ana
are equally deserving of protection.
There is a question as to which is the
greatest town nuisance, pigs or dogs.
A pig pen may raise a stencil that
smells to heaven and contaminates the
atmosphere of an entire neighborhood.
Why then should dog be poisoned or
shot for a generally less offensive an
noyance?
1t is not our purpose to discuss
this matter further here. We append
| communication on the subject and
since it has became matter for public
discussion we open the columns of the
INDEPENDENT for free general dis
cussion of "The City Dog" and invite
the opinions of our readers. The fol-
lowing is in reply to the lNDEPEND-
ENT's article ale Poisons Dogs OF

Secured.

In all matters pertaining to the vel.
fare OF the public, be it of a private
nature or otherwise, the INDEPEN-
DENT proposes TO stand out fearlessly
and boldly, and fight to the bitter end
anything that comes under our obser-
vation that is produced by ring rule, y
or where, for party sake or poll ica
gain, untruth is Haunted in the breeze
under the mask of hypocrisy. Our
rea1ers no doubt have fresh in their
memory an article in yesterdays In
DEPENDENT wherein a. Observer
desired TO learn whether the charges
made III the issue of Jan. 23d of the
plymouth Democrat, were true.
Approaching the gravity of the re.
quest asked at our hands, we proceeded
IN an honest and fearless manner to
learn the exact facts of the charges
made and present To the public the
evidence secured by close investigation.
The facts in the case are, that the
republican county central committee
met in Plymouth last Saturday after
noon, at about o'clock, in the vacant
building formerly occupied by RYAN Il
Joseph. And further, at this meeting.
spUhen UI ~ a-,-~e tho ,,rt,as
Wiltfong and j. NJ. Black, were elected
to the position of chairman and secre-
tary respectively. We also learned
from competent witness IS that at no
time during Saturday, Jan. 18th, was
the office OF the county clerk obstructed
in any way SO that the regular business
pertaining to that office could not be
transacted In an interview with
County Clerk Wiltfong we learn that
he was at the court house attending to
his regular business as county clerk
the entire day, barring the time he ex'
ercised his rights as citizen and a
republican while attending the cOnven-
ton at the building spoken Of, last
Sa urday afternoon. While the word
alone OF County Clerk Wiltfong, In
our estimation, was sufficient proof,
yet, to make it entirely satisfactory to
the gentleman who asked these peril
nent questions, we interviewed those at
the court house, who, we are informed,
are of a different political faith than
the clerk, and their evidence bore out
the above assertions. We have not in
terviewed Mr.. Mcdonald about the
matter, but suppose that if he has the
evidence to refute these statements, he
will bring it to the front and also
the names of the several republicans
who desired to attend this packed eau
Gus, but could not secure admission.

ANOTHER CALL DOWN.


Ut tTheCounty seat.
In this weeks issue of the former
democratic organ of Marshall County
we received another "call down from
our worthy friend Mcdonald. r the
many who were former readers of the
Democrat al explanation is necessary.
In quoting an extract from worthy
contemporary we gave him credit for
something that Brother Mcdonald says
was produced by hlm. "after much
mental eXertlOn. lie also InfOrlas us
that Brother Minor" is nOtthe editor
OF the Columbia City Post. In connec-
ton with the latter assertion. we are
aware OF this fact: The Post announces
at the head of its editorial column. r.
r. Minor, as city editor. That is suiii.
clent for us. As to Mcdonald being the
author OF that article, we are perfectly
willing TO allow him all the glory there
IN contained. But the thought that
Mcdonald tries tn impress upon the
minds OF his readers, is that We made
this horrible bull, because we did not
read the Democrat, as the article re-
ferred to appeared IN his last weeks
ISSUE. This soft Impeachment we can
not deny, for the evidence is too PLAN.
But we have good excuse, one that
will bear the closest scrutiny. We

10 Appear In Court.
From Mondays Daily.
The trial OF WILDER ;. Hill, occupied
the entire afternoon in justice Reeves
court, and during the trial the well
known phrase of standing Room"
was visible TO all those who ATTEMPTED
to enter the hall of Justice. 1t is truly
marvellous how a case IF this kind Will
bring out the men. T1annrd ana 1esoueRe
ual struggle was going on by those pres
ent to claim tins piece of moffenslye
furniture, TO get glimpse of the plain
tiff in the case. Mr.. Chas Eellison was
the attorney for the defense, and the
manner in which he handled the case
convinced those who look upon the case
with an impartial eye that the evidence
presented by the plaintiff was not per-
tlnent to the charge made. Judge Hess
handled the prosecution. While in our
estimation Mr.. Hill is not guilty OF the
serious charge made against him, and
believe he will be discharged when the
case comes up before the court, yet he
has pullt up for himself an unenivable
reputation, not only in Plymouth, but
elsewhere, and it is to be hoped that the
lessons presented III the prosecutions he
has gone through during the past
month, will lead him to be more cir
cumspect in the future. We learn thai
attorney Kellison has applied for al
early trial and under the circumstances
it should be granted,
