IN MARKET FOR
DOG CATCHER
THIS OFFICE HAS AGAIN BEEN
MADE VACANT BY THE
RESIGNATION OF THE
OFFICIAL.

The Office of official dog grabber
for the city of Pensacola is again
vacant. The vacancy is due to the
resignation Of the party who has
been holding it for the past few
hours and who succeeded in captur-
ing about fifteen ours. He then de-
c.ded TO quit. not caring for the criti-
cism which falls TO the lot OF the
party who aspires 70 hold that city
office. Therefore the city is in the
market for a dog catcher. Two will
be taken or even three, il they are
good catchers and promise to remain
for at least a week.
The party who had been holding
the position went to the mayor yes
terday morning and turned in his
badge saying he did not care TO hold
the job any longer The city has no
CHER applications from parties desir
ing the job at the present time, but
it is expected that there will be sew.
eral to put in an appearance during
the next few days and tackle the DO
sition, holding Il for possibly a week
when life will become a burden or
account of the many obstacles en-
countered.
The mayor figures that. there are
possibly one thousand dogs running
at large in Pensacola, which could
be caught and pounded, which. at 81
cents per head, which is paid by the
city, would net the party doing the
catching $500.
