 A bull dog, which is owned by a resident of that part of River street between Liberty and Washington streets, is causing no end of trouble. It is rather vicious animal, so some of the other residents think 1t has a rather disagreeable habit of snap ping at pasesrby and of sinking it's teeth into their flesh. It tasted of the flesh of nearby neighbor night or two ago. The latter's landlady cham pioned his cause, and last night about 8 o'clock she addressed two French residents of the place as follows: .sAre you the owner of a bull dog?" What his answer was is unknown, but at any rate she expressed an opinion of what she would do to the dog. That it was a shame and a disgrace that people couldn't pass on the sidewalk without being in constant dread of being bitten by an old, good for noth- ing dog. She said she would poison the dog if it continued to go about her property tearing up things.
