TO KILL DOGS
AT HELMETTA
Council Post Notices. Must
Not Run at Large.
Specie, to the EVENING NEWS.


Helmetta, Dec. 23.-Following the
dents of this village into a state
Of terror Mayor Charles w. Bum
stead. acting for the Common Coun-
Gil Of town has taken the matter into
his hands and posted notices through
out the principal streets warning all
owners Of CANNES to keep same
within the limits Of their premises
or they will suffer death by the IN
ceremonious method Of being shot
Marshal James Deming has been
empowered to slay without discrim-
ination all dogs found running at
large within the limits Of the boro
ugh.
This p%recautlon was taken only
following the shooting Friday by
George Arson, at Spotswood, ad-
joining the borough line, Of a valu-
able shepard dog that developed
rabies, supposed to have contracted
from 'Trixy" the pet dog owned by
Mr.. Pell Mitchell, who with his wife,
is undergoing treatment at the Pas
teur Institute at the present time for
the prevention of the incubation
from his dog which has died from
the rabies In the New York instuti-
ton. Another dog placed in the
New York institute by DR.. Mitchell
at the time of his entrance has Just
died and from the same ailment.
This latter dog was the one fondled
by the Mitchells at their home. The
Arson dog was known to have been
in the company Of this latter dog
which was allowed to run loose.
The warning of the people has had
the desired effect and since the post
Ing Of the warning not a dog has
been seen on the streets. Mr.. and
Mrs. Pell Mitchell are expected to
arrive home the first of this week for
a visit as no sign of the contagton
is noticeable in their condition.
Mr.. Joseph Mitchell, father of Pell
Mitchell, In conversation today gave
it as his opinion that a pet cat own
ed by him has also contracted the
disease and has same confined in a
box awaiting developments. The
Arson animal gave unmistakable
evidence of having the first stage of
the disease and on the advice Of the
authorities had the dog shot and the
head sent to the Pasteur Institute
for examination as he has another
dog around the premises and de-
sires to take no chances with 1t.
