The season for cultivating has been

his loss will be several thousand dol

they had driven into the Garland

Mr.. Jones held the team while Mr..
Shearer passed thru the gate in the
fence which surpAhds the house with
the object Of making inquiry at the
house for Mr.. Garland. When about six
feet inside the gate he was suddenly
and viciously attacked by the Garland
shepherd dog. The dog bit him severe
ly about the legs, in the side and wrist
and lacerated his flesh to the bone just
below the elbow. Mrs. Garland and
daughter did everything In their power
to stop the ravages Of the canine, but
to no avail. Mr.. Shearer swung the
animal clear into the air while he had
his teeth in the flesh of his arm, but
was unable to loosen him. Shearer fl

gate and leaving the dog on the other
SIDE and this was only accomplished
after several attempts.
