ATHENA, SEPTEMBER 2, 1904

The convenience Of having blood
hounds for tracking criminals has prov
en- to be Of great benefit to officers in
almost every instance where they have
been used. With this well known evil
dence in existence, the wonder is that
every county does not provide its sheriff
with small pack Of the valuable man
hunters. Had blood hounds been
placed on the trail Of the murderer Of
Chris Ellis as late as the morning follow.
ing the murder the chances would have
been favorable that capture would have
resulted. The value of the blood hound
was more than exemplifed in the search
for outlaw Tracy. True, he was not
captured with the dogs, but for days
they scented out the territory through
which he travelled, and only the craft
ness, boldness and luck cf the convict
made it possible to escape the vigilance
OF the two hounds that followed him
through Oregon and part of Washing
ton. The legislature would be practic-
ing economy in the method of capturing
criminals by providing that two or more
blood hounds be kept at each county
jail for the use OF sheriff and deputies.
In addition to being Of direct assistance
to the officers, the knowledge of the
presence Of the animals at each county
jail would have tendency to check
crime, for the one horrifying fear of the
criminal is the bay of the hound on his
track Hound puppies could be trained
at one particular place in the state-the
pepitentiary, for instance-by a COM
petent trainer, and then distributed in
pairs to the county jails. 1t costs no
more to keep hound than it does
bird dog, and he is much easier trained.
