DOGS MAY NOT BREAK
INTO PRINT AGAIN;
NEWS SOURCE CUT OFF

The police reporters source of in
formation on dogs is completely cut
off. II the announced intentions of
Humane Officer Thomas Treacy are
carried out to the letter. Diplomatic
relations between the city official and
the scribe were formally broken off
this morning. And all because of the
publication of a recent story of raid
by two dogs who killed 20 chickens
in one coop. It was genuine
SCOOP" but unfortunately found its
way into the news columns without
any consultation with the humane Of
ficers. There Is still, however, faint
prospect of mending the rupture.
The dogs are yet in custody and are
liable to pay the extreme penalty at
any time. Grand Forks may have
to worry along without any news
Of canine activity for some time now.
