The New Castle woman who graf
flied the wishes of her little darling
when he cried mamma, buy me a
bow-wow,' now finds she has trou-
BILE on her hands. Mayor Boyd has
sent forth the command that all
dogs not muzzled in the city are to
be shot. This move has been OCCASION
ed by the appearance of supposed
mad dog. The chicken thieves are
jubilant over the prospect that the
dogs are to be shot. Thenthe dogs
will not bark at the thieves as they
pass along the streets to steal
chickens.
The New Castle base ball club
will shortly issue stock at 50 per
share in order that enough money
may be raised to put fence around
the base ball grounds. Subscrlp-
tion books will shortly open and the
first meeting will be held in the
course of few weeks when the Of
ticers of the organization will be
chosen.
Frank p. Rainey had an inter-
esting experience on the Delaware
during the fog. He went out in his
steady little boat in search of wood
and caught two large logs. He got
on the logs to fasten them when
in some manner they became un-
manageable and his absence caused
considerable anxiety. When the
fog raised Frank succeeded in
guiding the big logs safe to the
shore near his home. They are
some men here whomake neat sums
of money by selling the drift wood
they capture. Sometimes the large
timbers are sold intact and again
the river men cut them into stove
lengths and sell the wood in that
form.
