Sheriff Scott, according to the
Tribune, is willing TO pay something
worth while for information that will
help him to place his hands on the party
who is trying to poison his watch dog
The second attempt within a short time
was made Friday, but, as before, was
discovered in time to save tho animals $
life, The dog is valuable as a night SEN
tinel about the jail, and for that reason he
isn't at all popular with quite number
of parties who are just now making
Meadville their headquarters. 1t would
seem that there is conspiracy on foot to
accomplish the release of Frank Major.
