Local and Personal
ATTENTION you DOG poIsoNER.


You read the papers of course. We
know almighty well that you will
read what we have to say here. They
are offering a reward in an attempt
to find out who you are, and we pre-
sumo that if they do find out they
will make you swallow one of your
own capsules.
You have poisoned some good dogs.
Writhing in agony they have died and
their owners in secret if not in public
weep for the friend and companion
who has been murdered. Has it ever
occurred to you that if you had been
sired or damned by one of those dogs
\ you killed you could not help having
> been a better citizen than you are?
The yellowest cur in Crested Butte
is your peer.
And, if they do catch you and hang
or poison you, we are going to re-
print this address at the beginning of
your obituary.
About twenty-five years ago we saw
our own boy weep over his poisoned
dog in Gunnison, and for all these
years we have come as near praying
as we ever come, but some day, some
where, we may have the satisfaction
of writing the obituary of dog poi
soner Yours hopefully,
C. T. RAWALT.
