are often raised without covering, but
there is danger of the tops dying to

LIVES OF TWO PERSONS
MtNACtO BY NEGRO
MAN AND CHILD THREATENED BY
BULLETS FROM GUN OF THE
DoGcATcHER

This morning Jefferson. the negro
dogcatcher tried to kill dog belong
ing to the Murrays on Murray hill
down near the Victor mine. The mis-
sle flew wide of the mark and killed
a spaniel belonging to another party.
The serious part is that the bullets
flew close to the head of John Jones,
an ore sorter working In the Victor
dump and came within few inches
OF the head of little Jack Schweble
only six years old who was starting
for school.
The residents OF that vicinity are
enraged to think the county commits
sioners should subject them to that
risk OF sudden death at the hands
OF the bully on whom they have con
ierred extra police powers and, 1t is
asserted. that unless some action Is
taken to curb the bl0odthirsty In
stincts OF the negro, the people will
take the law into their own hands
It was fortunate for Jefferson that
none of them living in that vicinity
were at home or he would have met
with summary punishment.
