Editor of the Herald
This letter is No. and calls for
No 6.
Now, we are over to Mcnamara,
April 13 1900, Good morning Mr..
Mcnamara Good morning gentle
men," The first two questions were
asked by U. s. Boyd. First question
did Mr.. John Cary bring a wolf
before you yesterday evening ?"
Answer Eyes sir. Second question
WAS it a female p Answer Eyes
sir. /" Question No. 8, ''How many
pups was she carrying p Answer
"Nine.' That was her litter two
years hand running before Question
No. 4. "How big we're those pups -
Answer About as big as a half
grown rat aud red.' That showed
to me there was not a hair on them
and not enterable under any circum-
stances unless parties concerned.
Question No. 5. where are those
pups ?" Answer 1.-THE chickens de-
stroyed them ," Must have had a lot
of mighty hungry chickens to eat up
nine wolf pups from five o'clock in
the evening until half past six in the
morning. Do you readers believe
that? If you do, I don't. John Cary
did kill that wolf, and John Cary
and Mcnamara did the cutting and
Mcnamara and Cary did the counting
and then gave a certificate to John
Cary for ten wolf pups What be-
came of that old one? What was
that done for when that mother
brought two or three times as much
as puppy? Do you believe that 2
don't. In his certificate lying before
me or copy he says those scalps we're
destroyed in his presence. No chair
man is allowed to do anything CT the
kind. That certificate would not have
been worth the paper it was written
on when presented to the county
clerk. but it appears Mr.. Charles
Dickinson did receive and accept that
certificate without those scalps. It is
the clerks business to destroy scalps
and nobody else.
Now it looks to me this way
Those puppies we're just as Mcnamara
said, about as big as half grown rat
and red, not hair on them. That is
how he came to say that the scalps
were destroyed in mis- presence.
Here is the copy of the certificate

CURE DOGS OF EATING EGGS
Small Amount Of Tartar EmetIc VIII
Break the Habit, According
to Authority.

When eggs are, bringing top rices
in the market nothing is more dis
couraging than to find. on making the
round of the nests that the dog has
been there before you. Often this
parasite on hennery profits is fam
ily pet that the owners do not wish to
kill. But as with other pests. remedy
lies only with killing or curing. Here
is a cure which | have used success
fully:
Buy one dram of tartar emetic-
this is a poison and should be handled
with the greatest of care. Under no
circumstances should the powder be
placed where it is accessible to chill
dren.
Pip a small piece out OF an eggshelk
pour out a little Of the contents and
put about as much OF the tartar emetic
as will cover the point OF a small
pocket knife into the shell. Paste q
small piece of white paper over the
broken portion. and place the egg In
one of the nests, preferably in a Sc
cluded spot, where the dog has been
accustomed to pilfer. Put it where he
can get it quickly before the hens
have C',ance to crack the treated
egg.
