Be More Humane.

1t is proper for the officers to
shoot stray dogs, under certain
circumstances, but when those an
imals have to be killed the work
should be done in q humane way.
An officer had occasion Friday
night, or Saturday morning, to
kill a dog at the passenger station
and some of the witnesses of the
transaction say there was a dis,
gushing display of brutality about
the proceeding, It is stated that
the officer shot at the dog and
wounded him in the leg. He then
secured a coupling pin or a large
bar of iron and following the dog
as he dragged himself around in
front of the station proceeding to
beat his head into a jelly. The
dog lay down, apparently dead,
but showing some sign of life la
ter the officer dragged him ACROSS
the track and finished him with a
bullet. If it is necessary to have
a public exhibition in these cases
let it be conducted as decently
and as humanely as possible.
