POISONING DOGS AND CATS
Suburban Citizens Prefer Charges
Against Mounted Policeman.
Allegations Made by Perry Carson
and Others Indignantly Denied
by officer Cleveland.

Several days ago, as stated exclusively
in The Evening Times, a number of citf-
zens Of Ivy City and vicinity held what was
termed an Indignation cat, dog and chicken
meeting, to protest against the ruthless
poisoning Of domestic animals in ;heir To-
caIity Col Perry Carson was one Of the
principal speakers, and he charged that
sixty-five dogs had been killed by poison
in Ivy city. Langdon and in the neighbor-
hood of these villages within a period Of
four days
As result of the meeting a committee
was appointed to wait upon Col. Moore,
chief Of police, and it appears that they
lodged with him a complaint against
Mounted Policeman Cleveland.
The outcome of the matter is shown by
the following correspondence, which has
Just been made public:
.'Mr F. II. Carson, Ivy City:
Dear Sir: l enclose herewith for your
information copies Ofreports made hy Lieut..

ferred hy p r. Carson are absolutely

about 200 tons OF solid blue earth lying OH

over the mine, and found a thirty-carat

He sold the stone and ppgged all the
mine out in his name; there We're several

out 10 different companies for cash and
interest, and through this streak of luck
ne was possessor OF about $40 100000.
