similar request was made by Annie
Fontry. who submitted statement that
the tag worn by her dog was evidently
stolen by some one.
In making his report on this case the
Poundmaster said that he had no record
of dog redeemed by Annie Fontry re-
Gently. He said that on November q a
cOlcred man giving the name OF n. FOn-
leroy redeemed a black and white setter,
which had been captured on + Street be-
tween First and Second Streets north
west. while running at large. The Pound
master suggests that the similarity of ,he
two names indicates that this deg may be
the one referred to.
Dr.. Woodward in passing upon the ap-
plication, states that the facts set forth
do not warrant the return of the pound
fee, and he recommends that the applica-
tiOn be denied. which was yesterday ap-
proved by the Commissioners.
