TWO UNMUzzLED DOGS
SHOT THIS MORNING
Constable McMurtrey is On the Alert
and Will Bag Every Canine
Found Unmuzzled

Onlcer McMurtrey at an early hour
this morning bagged two unmuzzled
dogs found on the street. The con.
stable is on the alert for those dog
owners who seek to evade the enforce.
ment of the ordinance passed by the
board of county commissioners.
Mr.. McMurtrey has a trusty shot.
gun and is fairly good shot within a
block or two of any unmuzzled dog
and can hit it on the wing. He intends
to see that the order of the board is
strictly enforced.
After all the people of Elko are re-
ceiving pretty fair protection from the
mad dog menace compared with other
towns: Witness the following COM
plant voiced by yesterdays Wells
Herald:
There Is talk in Wells of offering a
reward for the detection of a dog
wearing muZzle. 1t would be a safe
proposition, and there does not seem
to be any danger that the reward
would ever be called for.
What has become of the ordinance
providing for the muzzling of dogs?
AS far as Wells is concerned il is
certainly dead letter, as no attempt
is being made to enforce it. A great
many people are wondering why"
AT the same time the war of ex-
termination against the coyotes has
begun in earnest. Men are in the field
down in Humboldt and II Is expected
Mr.. Sans will soon have a force ope-
rating in Elko county. Yesterdays

ing to say on the subject:
E. r. Sans, of the U. S. biological
survey, who is in charge of the cam
paign to be waged by the government
for the determination of coyotes, is
organizing his force and the trappers

field at once.
The men already hired and their
assignments are:
T. Kramer, Reno, between Reno
and Lovelock; ID. l.. Cooper, Winnie

den Winnemucca, in Grass valley;
