Dogs Take Heavy
Livs Stock Toll

Sheep killing dogs have taken .
heavy toll from herds Of the county.
and the claims for live stock 80 killed
or injured that have been fled with
the supervisors for the county to pay
are almost unbelievable for so thickly
settled country. Claims for sheep
and other live stock killed and mAngled
by dogs for the month OF December
total $372.20, and Is said to be the larg-
est amount Of such claims made In the
county In many years. In fact 1t -
said that claims Of this kind have been
growing greatly in the last few years.
Nine sheep, one heifer. ands one hog
were killed and five other sheep were
injured, according to these claims. In
one case. at least, the dogs were seen
and driven of. The heaviest single
loser was II. E. Gibson, OF LeGrand
township. who suffered the loss OF
three ewes killed, three others badly
injured. a buck mangled, and one other
eve hurt. HIS claim Is for $3.50.
It Is the belief Of the supervisors
that farmers are not using enough Iare
in protecting their sheep by killing on
sight every strange dog which Is seen.

 WASHINGTON. D. C., Mar. 1S.- The Russian ambassador. Bakhem- toff. this morning issued a state ment strongly denouncing the Rus sian acceptance of Germany's peace terms. He declares that the Rus sian embassy in this city will con tinue to advocate cooperation with the allied governments and the Unit ed States.
 He declares that the>peace condi. tions imposed upon Russia by Ger many threaten the very existence of the former country as free and independent country and can only result in serious disaster for Rus. sia. He believes that a popular out. cry of indignation will sweep Rus. sia as soon as the real peace terms become known and the masses of the people realize what they mean.
 He was silent regarding the possi bility of Japan intervening in Siberia for the protection of allied interests but has already intimated that a large proportion of Russia will re. sent such a step.
