FRENZIED POW-WOW
OVER REMAINS OF
DEPARTED CAN IN E

Several days ago, just before
dawn. Officer "Cv' Bogue of the
FL Centre police department was at
tackled by a vicions dog while pa
trolling the city streets. The officer
shot at the dog three times, the dog
answered with three piercing yowls
and vanished at top speed without
making known his destination.
Bogue reported tie incident and
wondered what became Of the dog.
Yesterday a delegation of irate
citizens from the vicinity of Fourth
and Olive streets strobe into the city
haH and demanded that the police
department. remove one defunct dog
that had chosen the cellar of house
in that section to depart for the
happy hunting grounds. Desk Ser
geant Deaton referred the delega-
ton to the legal department for adj
vice and further action.
\ few minutes later the delega-
ton and Deaton We're embroiled in
a terrific controversy with Pike =
Dyer, city engineer and health Off
Ger, as to who should remove the
dog. The health department official
got his back up and swore that
neither he nor any of his deputies
should go on such an indicate mis-
sion.
Then the citizens demanded their
rights. Deaton informed them they
had as much right as anyone to
dray the departed dog from his sep
ulehre. and suggested they do it.
When the roof of the city hall
was ABOUT to be blown off by eX-
pIosive words, it was suggested that
the city garbage collector, being
used to strong smells, would doubt
less appreciate a small Christmas
donation and remove the dog, which
suggestion seemed to be good one,
The delegation evidently was sue
cessful in its work for no further
were heard.
