"a newe story from Parkersburg to

town reminded a local lover of dogs of
a bull he once owned in another city

letter carriers. In an exactly opposite

brought home from the fancicrs, a
homesick little hike all head and feet.
the man who delivered mail to that

and he made quite a fuss over the new

about it all over the section where the
dog vas a familiar sight. but after
the dogs second birthday his nature
began to assert itself and he took first
to soundly %trouncing any stray dog
that happened TO show n disposition
to wag a tail at his postnlan. After
he had thrashed n lot OF dogs OF all
kinds, including several of his own
species, he began TO object to people

The blind-pigging issue seems to be
coming to the front anew now that
several months have elapsed since it
appeared that the local states attor-
ncy was in danger of losing his job
The frcc-for-all-fght at Strasburg on
the Fourth has brought things to a
head. Complaints from residents of
the Hague ncighborhood to the COVER
nor are also coming to light, and To-
cal official is being appealed to bring
some pressure to bear to straightcn
out blind-pig business in the Marie
country.
Perhaps there has never been a
time when things were more wide
open than they were at Strasburg or
the Fourth. Fighting and shooting
was the order of the day, audit is said
that two small children were
trampled upon by drunken ride,
who was making his getaway after q
brawl in which he took part
1t is impossible to keep men from
getting drunk, and it is not asked that
intoxlcnnts be forbidden All that is
asked is that the authorities show
some small spirit of cooperation If
stamping out the illegal liquor traffic
that makes possible such disgusting
performances as those described above
jas taking place on the Fourth.
The expression is freely made here
abouts that men who can't take {
few drinks without wanting to figh
ought not to have any. The idea j!
good, but isn't it expecting the impos
siblo to find law-brcaking blind-pig
gers who will pay any attention t.
just how drunk their patrons get 81
long as they still have che money tt
buy more.
