and cities this week by the state board of
| health through its secretary and eXecu-
tive officer DIR. Henry d. Holton OF
| Brattleboro. The disease has not APP
peared in this state. but it is so near
that the state board wisely has taken
this precautionary measure. The text OF
the notices sent out from DR.. Hoton's
office Tuesday is as follows: "Informa e.
ton has reached this office that smallpox
is prevalent in some towns in Massa chu-
sets and that one or more cases have de-
velOped in Keene. y. II. We would call
attention of physicians and especially of
all local health officers in this state to
this fact warning them to be vigilant and
see that cases do not present themselves

antinng all suspicious cases, to the end
that the disease does not obtain a foot
hold in any part Of the state"
The first trouble with deer killing dogs
this season came to the attention of
County Fish and Game commissioner
Roswell l.. Frost Monday VIII Harris re-
ported to Mr.. Frost that he had found
a large doe on the side of Wickopee hill
partly eaten up by dogs or some other
animals. An Investigation showed that
two dogs had chased the does across the
hill and had caught her on the slope She
struggled to free herself for some dis
lance but the dogs finally pulled her down
and killed her From the appearance of
the body it was evident that the doe had
been dead several days. Mr. Frost has
some strong suspicious as to the dogs
which We're responsible for the slaughter
and if his further investigations seem to
warrant a prosecution will follow AT
the present time the snow is so deep in
the woods that the deer are at the mercy
Of dogs. Any one who has dog that
might be tempted to kill deer would do
well to keep the animal at home while
the deep snow lasts. The county fish and
game warden is going on the warpath
against deer-killing dogs and some of
them will get into trouble
