DEAD CATS.
North Delta People Claim that the Gunnison Is
Being Used as Burial Ground for their Pets

The residents of North Delta are in
arms. Some one is killing all the pet
kittens and cats, skinning them and
dumping the bodies into the Gunnison.
From particulars learned the parties
engaged in this nefarious piece of work.
are not bit particular where they
throw the dead bodies and usually a
spot above the point where water is
taken out for the Tewn of Delta is se-
lected.
Aside from the fact that killing of
the animals is cruel and worng, doubly
is there reason for remonstrance on ac-
count Of the use of the river in this
manner. Delta people, or the ranchers
farther down the river, have no partic.
ular relish for feline favored moisture
and furthermore have no desire TO bat
tie with disease which might result If
the practice was kept up. The county
health authorities should look into this
matter at once and take the necessary
steps to stop such business. Some in
dividuals are always to be found who
care nothing for the rights Of Others
and who seem to delight in engaging in
that which endangers the health Of 9
whole community.
