no indication that the young man
was party to the actual crime. The
girl merely accused him of vitupera-
ton before he left her in the even

morning. This evidence was suffi-
cient for holding the parties in the

fore writing the letter. He stated
that some dogs were chasing a doe.
the mother Of two fawns. He was
not in position to kill the dogs.
and from indications Mt the time he
wrote he feared tho mother and the
fawns would be killed by the dogs
that were so cruelty chasing her.
In response to inquiry 10y a rep

the Department can do in such cases
it was explained that of course an
officer can kill 2 dog found chasing
deer. Furthermore, If the owners Of
the dog are known. and they have
received notice that their dog has
been chasing deer. If the dog is

Health Dept. Rules
On Importing Dogs
From States Where
Rabies is Present

AS rabies (hydrophobia) is so wide
ly prevalent among dogs in many
states, some near to us and some re-
mote, and as the bites from animals
thus affected would hA so serious a
danger to human lives and to the
livestock industry of our own com
munities, the State Department Of
Health has made some rules and
regulations which are now in force
and which it is hoped may help in
guarding our own State against this
danger. These rules somewhat epito-
miZed are as follows:
Any person bringing a dog into
Maine from any other state where
rabies has been present within six
months (and that is true OF almost all
the states) shall Immediately notify
the State Department of Health. Au-
gusta. Maine, giving the destination
of the dog. and the name of the per-
son who brings or has charge Of the
animal.
Every dog thus brought from other
states must be kept muzzled so that
it shall be impossible for It to bite
| any person or animal. Provided that
any dog that has been vaccina ted
against rabies. shall. for one year
from date of its vaccination. be ex-
empt from the obligation OF being
muzZled
Upon the appearance OF any sus-
picious symptoms in any dog he shall
be promptly chained. enclosed in a
strong kennel or room, and guarded
until the possibility of the develop
ment of rabies as passed, receiving
meanwhile an adequate supply of
food and drink. The local health
officer shall be promptly notified Of
the existence or the suspicion of rab-
les in any dog or other animal by the
owner or the person in charge Of
such animal.
