It's a Dog-gone Shame.

There is much complaint these
days relative to the actions of
certain vicious dogs that congre-
gate in the vicinity of the high
school building and terrify
pedestrians, without regard to
sex. Recently one Of these ami
mails nearly tore the clothes off
the back of a teacher in the
school, and many of the scholars
have been placed in a state bor-
dering on terror.
Yesterday, a prominent citi.
zen was bitten by one Of the
dogs, and shot the animal in self
defence.
AS nearly every city of promi-
nence in the north half of the
state is having trou BILE with dogs
effected with rabies, it might
not be a bad idea for the city
officials to order the muzzling of
all CANNES that are allowed to
run at large.
