Concordia, May 16.-County Clerk
Guilbert has figured 1t out that there
are more dogs than sheep in Cloud
county. According to the complete re-
turns the county will receive taxes on
2027 CANNES this year. OF these $50
are town dogs and the rest are their
country cousins. On town dogs there
is a triple tax which may or may not
have effected the size of the enumer-
alton figure.
There are just, or were on March 1,
161 dogs in ConcOrdia, according to
the assessor.
There are but 1747 sheep in the
county and 1861 milk cows and 169
of these are city cows. Concordia has

$500 on the contents. The lire origina-

Mr.. and Mrs. Bitner and Miss Jessie
Henkle, who made her home with them,
were made comfortable at the home OF

Turn About Is Fair Play.

Several weeks ago couple OF Martins
burg men went to Hagerstown in ar au
tomooile and got drunk. On complaint
of Thomas Cameron, Hagerstown traffic
officer, they were hailed before maeis-
trate, who fined them $50 and costs. The
1eavy dose made them very sore, and
they swore vengeance. Last week Cam
rron was in Martinsburg, and his victims
took opportunity to geteven They gave
information that led TO his arrest on the
charge OF carrying concealed weapons,
and as he had a revolver on his person
there was nothing TO do but hold him for
trial. The least penalty for carrying a
revolver IN West Virginia is six months
in Jail, so it looks as il Cameron IS in for
trouble. And Martinsburg has the laugh
on Hagerstown.
