The next day the buzzard re-

Killing of dogs continues in Key

ing from poisoning.
Today family pet was found
dying from poison and was re-
ported to the police department.
An officed was sent to shoot the
suffering animal.
When the shot was fired it
struck the animal in the mouth.
Frightened by the sound of the
discharge and animated by the adj
ditiOnal suffering from the bullet,
the dog started running down the
street, presenting a fearful sight
with blood dripping from its dew
laps.
Since this campaign of dog de-
struction has started, many pet
animals have been killed and the
authorities are anxious to find out
who is, or are, responsible for it.
The brutal manner in which
many dogs have been killed has
caused much indignation among
Key Westers and visitors, and
many of the latter have been
heard to say they will never re-
turn to Key West where such out
rageous mean treatment is accord

ers of his time and knew their in
comes. He also knew that John
and Lionel had no genius for
science. for medicine, for bridge
building, and the choice was be-
tween art and acting. He advised
acting, because at least in acting
one made money.
Nevertheless, Lionel left d flour
ishing stage career to study art in
Paris. John studied it in London,
got cartoonist's job on a New
York newspaper and went into
acting because he was fired.
Lionel. like John, returned to the
stage to make a living.
Maurice had been the first ac-
tor in his family, but George
Drew was of celebrated line of
players-Drew was a magic name
in the theater.
If, as is probable, John and

likely that from Maurice Barry
