A bill by Mr. Finn OF Springfield
allows dogs to be killed between April
first and Nov first II not within the
limits Of city or incorporated village
or within view OF their owners on the
public highway. This will make
things very warm for sheep.killins

the lead by 10-6, but Mackay one by one
added five aces to his score. Once in the
lead he held the advantage to the end.
