The Gazette has from time to time

amusing accounts of the alleged ad-
ventures of dogcatchers in Alexandra.
The following appeared in a prominent
New York paper a few days ago:
There was CONSERVATION when the
towns brand new dog wagon, filled
with animals of high and low de-
gree, drove up to the city hall. The
Town Council had forgotten to provide
a dog pound. "You can't put them in
here" yelled the janitor. "Take 'em
down to the jail and lock 'em up in
cells" Several of the more vicious
animals were put in cells. The others
were turned loose.

Miss Lille Rutherford, 16-year-old
daughter of Robert Rutherford, near
Jefferson, Nd, while preparing a
meal, was so badly burned that she
died in agony few hours later. Her
Father was seriously burned in at

unable to keep her daughter, and is
in serious condition from the shock.
Miss Roterford, while dressing a
wound on her arm with turpentine, let
the cup fall from her hand, spilling
the fluid over her dress. A few minu-
.es later she went into the kitchen and
her dress came in contact with hot
stove. In an instant she was in flames,
and she ran screaming toward the
door. Her father, at work nearby,
FASTENED to her side and made fran
tic effort Ito tear off the blazing cloth
