that you have gone in the wrcng direction fol. the
guilty parties. They are not in Buffalo, nor in
the state Of New York. There were three in that
deal, and one OF them Is dead; the other two are
stin alive and feeling welt. As the handkerchief
was only a blind yon better throw 1t away, the
same as with the other trifes YOU surely found,
the ring, etc.
Why don't You speak Of them? Remember
this, the murderer Of D. L. b. is as yet feeling
fine and not IN Buffalo. NY. have to laugh
at your plans and how you bit our bait Oh,

James E. flanagan Charges the

Wrongful Conversion

The charge that Americans are ''globe

Of John G. Allen at one time agent for
Elder. Dempster & Co., common carriers
of passengers between this country and
European ports. Mr.. Allen says that
working on commission in this territory he
could have sold enough tickets for Eu-
ropean trips, between from 1901 to 1904,
to have cleared $4,000. He didn't do so,
he alleges, because the company broke it's
contract. He is suing it, therefore, for
$25, 900.
James e. Flanagan is suing the Weare
Commission company and Ira G.. Andrews
for $36,525. He alleges that he owned 800
shares of common stock In the. Baltimore
& Ohio, and that some time ago there
was due him $1,S00 in dividends. This
stock was later sold, and wrongfully con-
verified, SO it is alleged. to the use of the

? DOG TAGS ARE READY
J. j..
But the Dog Catcher Will Not Begin
Work Until NAV /. r

Dog. catching days are near at hand.
This fact came forciblys home to dog
fanciers this morning when the sa1e OF
7 900 dog tags opened in the city clerk
office. ssz% &Esf Is -.
The dog catchers viii not begin work
until May l, SO there will be no great i'm
mediate demand. The necessity of pur-
chasing tags to keep dogs out of the
pound and out Of the river later, has
caused some speculation as to whether
there will be any disposition on the part
Of the city council to insist upon the ~en-
forcement of the Anaes dog muzxline
measure: .-'~~--..-~-. =
There is hardly a. chance of the or
dinance being enforced this season, but
until dog owners are positive many will
doubtless think twice before paying. TO,
dog licensing and dog muzzling, too. :.
