KEEPS UP HIS WORK.
The Poisoner of Dogs Reaps a Big
Harvest,

The poisoning of dogs has been on
the increase during the past week,
and not a day passes but some one is
called upon to mourn the loss of his
favorite canine. Despite the strenu-
Gus efforts of dog owners, the con-
temptible villain who is low enough
to poison dogs, is still at large, and
no clew has been found that will
lead to his detection. A fund has
been raised among the owners of
dogs for a reward and from $25 to
$50 will be given to the one who
makes the capture Mayor Logan
lost his two valuable dogs the past
week from poisoning and naturally
feels angry over his loss. The poi
son was thrown in his yard, and he
found couple of pieces of meat
which, when analysed by a physi-
clan were found to contain large
quantity of strychnine.

Must Fasten Horses.

Mayor Logan has issued instruc-
tons to the police force to first warn
and on the second offense to arrest
any person leaving horses unhitched
on the public streets. 1t has been the
custom for persons driving teams to
leave them standing without secur-
ing them, and as result runaways,
with the attendant danger to life and
limb, have been numerous. and it
was to minimize this danger that the
order was issued.

gether, the Bullet Striking Elmer.

After lingering for 60 hours with
terrible wound in his stomach the
result of being accidentally shot by
his brother, Elmer Hansen died at
the hospital at $3.50 Sunday night
The tragedy that caused his death
was one of the most narrowing that
has ever occurred in this county
Friday morning Hansen, accom-
panied by his brother Peter, were
out in the woods looking for a site
to build cabin, 20 be used when on
hunting trips. They came across an
uroccupied cabin, and. seing bottle
Or a shelf. Elmer Hansen suggested
using it for target. When starting
on the trip they took with them a
3Scaliber revolver and eight or nine
shells. and it was decided to try their
skill with this. After shooting five
or six times, Elmer suggested that it
would be better to save the remain
ing shells in case any game would
be seen on their way home. Peter
had possession of the revolver, and.
breaking it. he extracted the empty
shells. replacing them with the loaded
ores. In placing the shells in posi-
ton one must have extended out, as
when the gun was thrown together
it was discharged. the bullet entering
his brothers body to the right and a
little below the navel. The wounded
man exclaimed, II am shot" and fell
to the ground. He was carried into
the cabin and placed on pile of
straw and Peter then ran to their
hCme several miles distant for as
sistance. Procuring conveyance
the long trip to the hospital in this
city was commenced. Great care had
tc be exercised en- route and it
was after 10 o'clock at night when
he arrived.
DR.. Lamb was at once summoned
and dressed the wound and extracted
the bullet from the left side of the
body close to the skin. In removing
il he found that it had in it's course
through the stomach turned COM
pletely around. with it's nose in the
| direction of the entering point. It
| was found impossible to probe the
wound, and from it's character it was
at once deemed fatal.
On Saturday the physicians placed
the patient under the influence of
chlOrOfOrm in order to cleanse the
| course of the bullet and to ascertain
| the condition Of the wound. A pecu-
| liar condition was developed by the
examination and all hope of Hansen's
recovery was abandoned. 1t was
found that after entering the body
the bullet had turned and taken a
course directly inward and to the
left, and after making a half circle
had turned and was facing the en-
act spot where it entered. In it's
course several holes were torn in the
intestines, and it was only a question
OF hours before the patient would die.
After lingering in great pain until
Sunday night he succumbed to the
wound.
The funeral of the deceased took
place from the Norwegian Lutheran
church in this city this afternoon at
l o'clock. Rev. Medtthun was in
charge of the services. and the inter
ment was in the Spring Creek GENE

Knocked Out Of the Race 4.

x There is always something do
ihg in Florida politics and the la.
test thing that has happened is that
HIN. B. Il. Kirk cannot be elected
Secretary of State; neither can the
HIN. Alfred 81. Clair Abrsms be
elected Attorney, General of the
State. OF course james f. Broome
and William IA. Ellis don't care,
but hundreds OF friends Of the TWO
former statesmen would rather have
circumstances different. There is
no doubt but that the two candidates
above named are out OF the race.
Senator Kirk could not be Secre-
aryot State IL every county in
Florida should unanimously support
him The same is equally true so far
as Alfred St. Clair-Abrams and bis

concerned, The reason for this is
thas the constitution Of the State OF

may to many OF your readers seem
applicable in my case, being new
conner in this locality, II so, let
me admonish them to assess the
bls oe on my friend, DR.. Yates.
The doctors moral shoulders are
broad, and when he puts them to
the wheel OF any public enterprise,
have observed, few hundred
weight more or less Of bis individ-
ual share Of the load cuts very little
figure with him.
10 conversation with the doctor
few days ago in regard to road
working, graders, traction engine,
c., | spoke OF our experience in
that line in Iowa, and ever since he
has been importuning me to put
some OF that experience on paper
for the benefit of your readers. So,
that is what | am here for; and m,
only excuse for thus trespassing on
your valuable space is that OF ma
ternal ancestor who departed this
life some years before my time; ''the
doctor did beguile me and / did
write" But come to think OF it, I |
don't believe it was the doctor
whom Mother Eve blamed for her
inprudence.

on the road for two or three weeks
of daily rain in the early winter
had worked them into a batter, hub

and farmers unhitched and went
home horse back. A Dakota bliz-
zard did the rest, and when they
came back for their loads q couple Of
days later, they came on Jack Frosts

system OF modern engineering could
possibly produce. When roads be-

before a hard freeze they are almost
impossible till a little thaw begins to
soften the bumps on top.

it hardly worth while to put any

In Sigourney they have been usi

great disadva tage, a disadvantag,

with here. In the original tow,

sidewalks are completed across The

Three teams and three drivers are
