PASADENA, June g.-At a regular
meeting Of the directors Of the Pasa- =
dena Humane society this forenoon 1t
was decided to offer a reward of $500
for the arrest Of the miscreant who has
been poisoning dogs during the past
year.
For some time tllere has been stand
ing reward of a lesser amount offered
for the arrest Of the fellow but nothing
has come OF It.
This morning a valuable shepherd dog
belonging to James f. Clark was dis
covered dying from poison and this
latest outrage is the Immediate cause
Of the increased reward. Mr.. Clark
himself offers an additional reward of
$50 and everything possible will be done
to put an end to the miserable practice
which appears to strike solely at valu-
able CANNES.
1t is estimated that dogs valued at
several thousand dollars have thus been
poisoned during the year.
Painless Apparatus
James McAney, the new field agent
of the Humane society, has prepared
an apparatus for the painless killing of
animals which it becomes necessary for
one reason or another to put out of the
way. Chloroform was formerly used
but the improved method is by the use
of artificial gas.
Mr.. McAney has secured an alright
box Of galvanized iron and into this
the Consolidated Gas company has run
one of its gas pipes. The animal is
placed in the box, the lid is closed and
the gas turned on. Death comes quick
ly and painlessly.
Nellie MundeI's Case
A case in which the Humane society
has been active for some time came to
the fore again today.
Nellie Mundell the young girl released
by Judge Wilbur a few days ago on
her promise not to have anything more
to do with her middle-aged suitor.
bud" Lewis of this city, appeared at
San Bernadino yesterday with Lewis
in search of license to wed. Because
of the girls age they were unable to
procure license.
The Humane society. through it's for
mer field agent, b. f. Sherwin, worked
hard to have the girl committed to
Whittier until she should reach the age
of discretion. 1t is unlikely that under
present conditions any further step will
be taken by the society. 1t looks as
though Bud Lewis has won out in
his fight to wed the girl.
Free delivery began this forenoon in
North Pasadena, including territory
from Montana street to county road
to Marengo avenue to Dakotah street.
