BurrOs are Run in.

City Marshal Crawford was kept pretty busy Wednesday running in burros that were at large in the city limits. Though the ordinance was well advertised, owners of burros seemed to pay no attention to the town ordinance and there seemed to be as many of the animals on the streets Wednesday as usual. For many years past burros have been running at large in Clifton ard be- sides destroying the outside trees it has been a common occurrence for them to enter yards and destroy shrubbery and residence property. The pound is now well supplied with burros and unless owners take them out within the next five days there will be a big auction sale. This ordinance is new wrinkle on the Mexicans who own burros and allow them to feed on the flowers and trees in the residence portion of the town and until they become acquainted with the new rules there is going to be a considerable amount of comment.
 The dog tax is also due, but owing to the fact that the tags have not yet arrived the law cannot yet be en- forced. Many of our citizens are ready to pay the tax and those who own dogs should see the clerk and get their receipt as soon as possible. Upon the arrival of the tags they will be delivered immediately to those who have paid the tax. Marshal Crawford will need extra space for week after he commences to catch dogs, as there are hundreds of them that will not be fortunate enough to have masters who will dig up the ne- cessary g. and S4.
