settles for the hens that the dogs killed
In his coop
Mr.. Murray heard a noise i'm his coop
last evening and upon investigation found
that the dogs had broken down the wire
netting and had killed two OF the hens.
Both dogs had on collars but the collars
bore no name or number
1t il thought that one Of the hen killing
CANNES is the property of James Walsh
OF 6S Steubin street, for he called upon
the police last evening and said a dog OF
that breed had either been stolen or had
strayed away.
WEAVERS REJoICED.
There was no end of rejoicing at the
Ernscliffe mills last evening when a
weaver was told by the overseer that
there was no more work for him. IL
appears that the weaver I'm question was
engaged by the Riverside company at the
outset OF the late strike to come and join
their forces and was paid "A very good
salary TO do so. He is a POLE and was
one of the many who found employment
at this time and succeeded in learning
to weave.
Later he lost his position at the River
side mills and called at the Ernscliffe
mills and was allowed TO go TO work.
Last evening one of the old time weav-
ers was taken sick and a new spare man
was sent in TO take the sick mans place.
and he at once recognized the Pole
weaver a few moments later there was
a conference among the weaYers and
later the Pole weaver was told to pack
up his Kit and git" and he did.
