We certainly sympathize with Jay
Bell, son of Mrs. Alma Bell. He had
his two pups killed within few days.
The first was accidentally killed by
an automobile and the second was
pois oned. Great indignation is ex-
pressed by the good citizens of Loeb
Lynn over what is apparently the
wholesale placing of poisoned meat
about the town. The piece which
caused the death of the Bell pup was
found and contained sufficient poison
to kill a number of people. At this
time of year when children are per-
mitted to play out of doors it is
dangerous practice, as it seems to be
a natural inclination of children to
place anything edible in their mouths
that they may pick up.
Anyone seeing the sad and almost
hopeless expression on Jays face
when he was telling the writer about
losing his second pet a day or so
after the first had been killed, could
not have failed to note sadness and
tracey written there. We felt darn
sorry FOR him. Carl Swiers also had
a pc, poisoned.
