There is a crying need now for such

we like about the home treatment of
consumption at low attitudes, but the
great benefit afforded these cases by
the altitude and climate such as that
Of Las Vegas is unquestioned. This
particular property is especially at

Mrs. McGovern's large dog Leo, was
seen to go limplng down to the shore
near the borough dock yesterday, and ii
was said that he stood in the water about
two hours rs if awaiting the coming of
the tide. Some boys got the dog to
come near enough to let them take off
his collar and license tag and they car
ried them to MIS-. McGovern and told
her how the dog was acting aud that he
appeared to have been hurt as he wa
limping. In the meantime the tide
came in and as it came Leo walked out
toward it yelping and then laid down as
a wave came up, and as he laid his head
down he gave Il groan. The wave receded
carrying the dog with it and out on the
bay. The young man, who saw this was
a clerk delivering goods-down there. He
said the people who witnessed it aid the
dog had actually committed suicide.
