MAD DOGS AT LARGE

They Are Making Themselves Rather
Obnoxious at lie Sueur Center.
LIE Sueur Center, December 13.--The
mad dog scare in this community is
more than that, it is reality. Tom
Moudry has lost valuable cow as a
result; Henry Tambornino had to kill
his dog because it went mad, in ad-
ditic1 to doing away with all cats on
the place for safety. The first of the
week mad dog went through the
section just west of town and was said
to have been fighting with a number
of dogs and at one place killed some
poultry. Wesley Burgess, Clyde John
ston and August Kewitsch killed a
mad dog Monday south of town which
was likely this one. Children coming
into town to school have been afraid
to venture out on account of the dan
ger. Just how far the thing is apt to
go is hard to tell, but surely it is well
to take all precautions.

for this reason it was felt necessary
to take federal action on the labor sit
uation.
The message sent by Secretary OF
War Baker to the members of the
federal mediation board which is now
in Seattle, was in effect that owing to
the conflicting reports from the seats
Of he trouble in ST. Paul, the board
members were ordered to stop off at
the twin cities at their very earliest
possible convenience and confer with
the members of the Public Safety
commission, labor leaders, representa-
tives of the street car company in
order to arrive at a solution of the
matter.
No. Reflection on Governor.
In making this request for the
United States mediation board to stop
off at the twin cities, the primary au-
hority of Governor Burnquist to deal
with state issues was not questioned
by President Wilson, but in the view
of the fact that transportation must
be kept open, and industries kept
working so as to aid the progress of
the war, federal action was deemed
necessary.
Several Men Discharged.
UNITED Press Dispatch
st. Paul, December 13.-The gen.
eral strike which was called for ten

ernoon and all of the men ordered
to return to work. Several of the
men who a few hours before had
walked out, when they returned to

city disputes.
