MUST KEEP OUT OF
ELkS' ENCLOSURE

Notices have been posted by the
ell at the City park forbidding people
under the penalties prescribed by the
ordinances to keep out of the inclosure
where the herd of elk recently brought
here from Steamboat Springs are
kept. Boys have been climbing over
the fence at the park to get better
view of the elk and 1t is to prevent
a repetition of such action that the
warnings have been put up.
The elk are far from being as tame
as they appear to be to SPECTATORS on
the outside the fence and considerable
risk is taken by those who go inside
the inclosure without adequate means
of protection. Just how great the dan
ger is to those who venture inside is
not known, but an attack from the
animals is always more than a pos
sibility. While the elk seem to be
very good-natured and timid they are
of an erratic, uncertain disposition
and might viciously attack all who
go near them and either gore or tram
pie their victims to death. Only one
of the elk thus far shown and
hostility to people going into the in
closure b,N the same inclination
might develop in others at any time.
There are periods when II would be
especially hazardous to enter the in
closure and We serious consequences
might follow to those who are indis-
Greet enough to make the attempt
The elk can be seen quite as well
from the outside of the fence as any
where else and to venture inside is to
invite the element of peril and mishap.
The safest plan is to keep OFT and
avoid any possible danger. People
seen climbing over the fence will sub
iect themselves to arrest and prose
cution.

PARCEL POST BUSINESS
CONTINUES TO INCREASE

The regular annual parcel post count
for the first fifteen days in April
shows a considerable increase in that
line of business at the Canon City
postoffice.
During the period 6196 parcels were
received for delivery and 1905 parcels
dispatched to other Offices. The total
weight OF the parcels dispatched wa'
36l5 pounds. No record was kept Of
the weight of incoming parcels but L
was considerably more than that of
those sent out.
The reduction of the fees on insur-
ed parcels has resulted in a notlble
increase of insured parce's over that
of the same period last year. During
the first Is days OF Apsil, 1916. there
were l60 parcels insured as AGAINST
rs for the same perio1 of 1915. With
the advent of the vegetable AMI fruit
season. shipments OF parcel post from
the Canon City posiofhce will show
a marked increase as the season ad-
vances.
/ During the period N which the count
was taken there were only 10 parcels
mailed for local delivery. 1t is rata-
er remarkable thst peorle on the
rural routes and in the ether OUTLYING
districts do not take more advantage
of the local parcel post system. in
many places this is made very con
venient medium of trade between the
merchants and patrons in the outly'
ing districts under the delivery of the
local post office.

The DOG POISONER
is ABROAD AGAIN

Great indignation was caused among
the owners of CANNES today by the
report that the dog poisoiner was
again plying his contemplate voca-
tion and that valuable animals belong
ing to A. R. Livingston and d. f. Glib
son had been killed and that others
in the neigh hood were suffering as
the result of his sneaking, cowardly
work. The matter is being investi-
gated by the police and If the identity
of the polsoiner can be e-tablished he
win be prosecuted to the extreme
limit of the law.
About Z O'Clock Wednesday, night
Mr.. Livingston's dog. a fine Airdale,
died from eating a piece of sat pork.
sprfnkled with Pstrychnine, that had
been thrown to him by some unknown
person. Early this morning Mr.. Glib
sous dog died from the same cause.
A dog owned by DIR. w. T. Little was
poisoned about noon today. presumably
in a like manner. but by a prompt
discovery Of its condition and giving
it an antido'e to cornteract the effects
of the potion 1t is believed its life will
be saved. Several pieces of meat
were picked up along Greenwood ave-
nue. today, which, upon inspection.
were shown to contain poison. Chemi-
cal analysis was made in several in
stances and strychnine found in large
quantities. J. c. Strickland. who lives
in the 700 block on Harrison avenue,
had dog poisoned about 7 O'Clock on
Wednesday morning.
Inquiry was instituted hy the police
at all of the drug storos with the hope
that some clue might be obtained to
the identity OF the pe-petrator of the
outrage by an inspection of the list of
purchasers of strychnine. II the pois-
oner is discovered he will receive the
punishment he so richly deserves for
TIE commission OF his crime.

Iiichelin Tire Hints

Locating small punctures in tubes.
Mr. Potter of The Ordway Auto
Co, local selling agent for the Niche
every motorist has experienced the
exasperating task of locating small
punctures in inner tubes. The fol-
1Dwing suggestions may serve to light
en- his trouble when he next meets
with such mishap.
In the first place the tube should
be examined carefully to determine
if the puncture is large enough to be
seen. If not Immediately visible the
perforation may be very small, no
larger than a needle point and in this
case it is much harder to locate
Initiate the tube slightly and hold
it near the ground. Very often if the
road is dry the puncture may be de-
tected by the disturbance of the dust
made by the escaping air.
{. If this test cannot be made or if it
does not discover the puncture. pre-
sent each portion of the tube to the
cheek until the rush of escaping air
can be felt. These methods failing
to locate the puncture the only course
is to immerse the tube in pan of wa
ter, section by section, and watch
closely for aid bubbles. Where these
bubbles rise is the point of puncture
