citizens WHO are not the owners of one

For Bringing in Dogs.


One section of the city ordinance
which applies to the keeping of dogs
says of the reward for bringing dogs
TO the city pound:
1t shall be lawful for any person
to take up any dog or bitch that may
be found running at large contrary to
any provisions of the cnapter provid-
ed the said dog or bitch is conveyed
Immediately to the pound And for
each dog or bitch taken up and de-
livered at the pound, the person deliv-
ering the same shall be entitled to re-
ceive the sum of twenty-five cents
payable by the city marshal"
Another section says: ANY dog or
bitch may be released from the pound
master by any person proving owner
ship and paying one dollar, which sum
shall be paid to the city marslal.
A Way to Make Money.
With the hundreds of stray ours
that are roaming the city the ambi-
tious boys who are looking for pin
money will now have new way of
earning same, simply by taking all the
stray dogs they find to the city
marshal and receiving a bounty of
twenty-five cents per head for each
beast brought to the pound.
About Getting License.
Citizens ofttimes make the mistake
of calling dog license" dog ''tax"
mere is difference between license
and tax. The license Is obtained from
the city and the tax is paid to the
county. Tsais yearly accumulated
county fund is maintained for the pur-
pose of reimbursing farmers whose
sheep may be killed by dogs.
Last year the license money receiv-
ed by the city clerk of keokuk was
only about $40. This is much less
than the actual dog population OF the
city represents, but this year the of
ficers are going to keep closer tab
on all the dogs and the fund built up
from those obtaining licenses for
their animals and the fines which will
eventually be accumulated by the for
Getfullness of those owning these ami
mails, will be greatly increased.
For dog, the cost of license is
yl.35. The dollar is for the license
and the thirty-five cents for the metal
tag and license papers which are
handed out with each payment, For a
female tee cost is $685..
That the number of dogs roaming
the streets of Keokuk this time next
year will be greatly lessened is an
assured thing. Chief Schevers will
take matters in hand and will eradi.

by means of his pound and dollar fine.

To Build a Pound.

Marshal Schevers said today that
after June 10 one of the greatest cru
sades ever attempted here would be
launched against dogs and after that
time all persons owning dogs the
licenses on which have not been paid.
must suffer their pets to be taken to
the jail yard where the pound is to be
built.
For some time past. the chief of po-
lice las urged the establishment of
pound in the jail yard of the city bas-
tile. This will in all probability be
built in the near future and stray
dogs picked up by dog catcher who
will be employed by the city will
be turned into this pen.
After the dogs are once in it will
be necessary for the owners, if any
there are, to go to the pound, pay a
dollar and get their animals released
After forty-eight hours if the dog or
dogs have not been claimed they will
be shot or done away with in some
manner By the police. A burying
