FEROCIOUS WILD DOGS.
becoming II Pest Along the Border of
Arizona and New Mexico.


From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
John Bargeman. under sheriff of Navajo
county. Ariz., has returned to Holbrook
from extended trip through the noun
tains along the border of Arizona and New
Mexico bringing tale that wild dogs are
creating havoc in that region among cattle
and sheep. The dogs have been known for
only three years. first making their ap-
pearance in a small band in American
valley, in western New Mexico. They
have increased wonderfully, and are now
found over a broad stretch of country, de-
spite the efforts of the cattlemen to ex-
terminate them. The dogs average about
100 pounds weight They have the head
and shoulders of bulldog, but the build
of timber wolf and wolfsh character
istics. In color they arc ashy gray, with
long black hairs interspersed.
Like coyotes, they are little afraid of
man. and will follow horsemen for miles
through the timber, not hesitating to at
tack footmen. They occasionally visit
ranches, and many instances are known
where domestic dogs have Joined the
bands. The dogs secure their food by kill
ing sheep and calves. and even full-grown
cattle are known to have been pulled
down by them. Colts are their especial
game.
Thomas Alger, a resident of Nutrioso is
responsible for the statement that ami
mails bitten by the Wild dogs. if not killed
Wy lheHi vi tile spot, ule WITHIN q Few days
with all the symptoms of strychnine pois-
oning. He cites instance where he was
able 10 verify the local impression to that
effect. His house dog was set upon by
several wild dogs. Alger drove them away
and the dog appeared little the worse for
his battle. Yet the animal died In two
days with all the signs of strychnine pois-
oning.
The timber dogs are continually getting
fiercer and wilder, and the residents of
eastern Apache county are organizing to
hunt them down.

Survivors of the Monitor.

contains a sketch Of the life of Lieut..
Samuel Howard, who served on the Moni-
tor in her heroic contest with the Merri-
nac 1t seems that accounts of that i'm
portant naval battle are read with more
than usual interest. and, as the last lines Of
the article referred to may leave wrong
impression, these few lines may not be
out of place. The paragraph referred to
was as follows: There is said to be only
one other man living who was on the Moni-
tor during that terrible engagement. His
name is Anderson, and 1t is stated he Is
resident of Wisconsin"
From my home paper. the Somerset

survivor of the Monitors crew, Rev. D.

ton given by the President and Mrs. Nc
