NOTICE TO DOG '0ANERS

We the undersigned have had so
much trouble from dogs chasing our
sheep that we are compelled to take
radical steps to protect our property
and we hereby give notice that after
this date we intend to shoot all dogs
found on our premises. We must in
clude all dogs because our sheep have
been troubled so much this season
that even innocent dogs throw them
into a frenzy Of terror.

TELLING POINTS IN MAJOR
CHARLES YOUNG'S CAREER
Gallant Soldier Stood Test In School
and Rose to Fame.

According to the record. only three
colored young men have ever gradual
ed from the United States Military
school at West Point-Lieutenants
Flipper, Alexander and Young. Lieu
tenant Alexander died about nineteen
years ago, and Flipper is not now in
the service. Major Charles Young, to
whom the second annual Spingarn
medal was awarded in Boston on the
evening Of Feb. %, is a former first
lieutenant Of the Ninth United States
cavalry.
1t has required an extraordinary de-
gree Of courage for colored men to face
and live through the four years of petty
prosecutions and race hatred in the
government military school, The col
cred man who is fortunate enough to
get the appointment and smart enough
to pass the examinations and sterling
enough in the qualities Of manliness to
complete the course and graduate de-
serves the very highest commentator.
Major Young Is about forty-seven
years Of age. His father was a gallant
soldier in the Federal army during the
rebellion. He moved over into Brown
