1t is said that one of the provision
dealers of the city is vowing Ven
geance on the dogs in the neighborhood
of his store and is thinking of taking
out a warrant for larceny against the
whole lot. because of the loss of the
greater part of box of alewives. Ac-
cording to the story which has been
circulated by the mans friends he re-
ceived a box of the fish from st. John
a few days ago, and placed them out
side the store, to facilitate trade. Lat
err In the day, when he had occasion to
90 outside for something the first thing
mat ne noticed was that the contents
of the box had shrunk so that there
were but very few alewives in it. He
was naturally surprised, as he had sold
no fish. and with the exception of the
fexy in the box there was not an alewive
i'm sight. but when he began to look
around a bit it was not long before he
found a fish's head by the roadside. and
then another. and up around the cor
rer he found several more. Further
search resulted in the discovery of more
heads and in such numbers that it
locked as if there had been an alewive
party in that locality. The dog-tracks
in the snow told the rest of the story
and furnished the reason for the man
soreness against the whole dog tribe.
