Reward Offered for
Sheep-kining Wolf.

During the past few months the
farmers of Esstsrn l'augipahoa aud
Western ST. sl'ammany parishes,
who own focks of sheep that range
between the Tang'pahoa and Bed,co
rivers, have had at least 200 sheep
killed. At FIRST it was supposed to
be the work Of worthless dogs, but
after great majority Of the worth
less ours in that section had been
killed It was discovered that the
damage was being done by a wolf.
A. NJ. Edwards, one of the leading
sheep owners of that section, has
offered q reward of 400 for the
capture of the wolf, dead or alive.
A party of hunters are arranging
to 60 from Covington soon in the
hope of capturing the wolf and the
reward.

. The Toy Pistol.

The blank cartridge toy pistol la
At last receiving the attention
which should have been given it
some years since, said Secretary
Mayo, of the New Orltaus' Progress
slve Union.
Several Of the cities north Of the
Ohio River, and notably the City
of Chicago, have adopted more or
Iees drastic measures for the COM
plete suppression of the traffic IN
blank cartridge pistols.
The objection to this particular
toy is in the fact that a very large
proportion of wounds caused By
blank cartridge pistols result IN To-
tauus or lockjaw, and there is no
record of single person contract
ing this fearful disease, in the man.
per suggested, having recovered.
The statistics covering the last
Fourth of July celebration show
that throughout the United States
nearly 400 children died from lock
jaw, resulting from powder burns
caused by the careless handling
and explosion of these blank car
fridge pistols, and it has been dem
onstrated that, as an instrument of
death, this toy will compare ia.
vorably with any of the wea ons
now on sale in the markets of the
world. t
Investigation has, unfortunately,
not resulted IN the isolation of the
partiolar poison, although an ex.
haustlve examination has been
made, both of the pistols and the
ingredients forming the blank car
fridge, and the adoption of the or
d,nances or laws referred 10 was a
precautionary measure, adopted in
the hopes Of lessening the frigbtful
mortality attendant upon past holi-
day seasons.
A number of the leading mer-
chants Of New Orleans have agreed
not to deal in these dangerous toys,
and We hope the merchants of Cow
ington will do the came, ir the in
terest of humanity. Let the holl
day season pass rs one of JOY and
merriment, unmarried by single
event of sorrow, and the elim,na-
ton Of the sale of the blank car
fridge pistol, even at the sacrifice
Of the small profit there is in 1t,
will do mnch to secure this desired
result.
