some folks keep dogs few of them, in the
city, keep them where they belong-on
their own premises.
Dogs are not very law-abiding In fact
1t is to be doubted if they recognize any
law. The other fellows garden, for some
reason or other, is always more desir-
able place to bury bone, or dig it up,
than is the home grounds. Likewise, the
other fellows shrubs, plants and flowers
always present more attractive field for
a little dog-play than do those of the
master.
Several years of hearing complaints on
this matter and writing about them, con-
vince us that nothing can done about it
by anyone except those who own dogs.
The police are powerless, so are the news
papers, so are the non-dog owners unless
they wish to take matters into their own
hands, in which event it is almost 10 to
l shot they will get into trouble, either
with the law or their neighbor
Persons who want to keep dogs have
perfect right to do so. That cannot be
disputed. Neither can it be disputed that
they should interpret the word keep" to
mean Just what it is supposed to mean.
They should keep their dogs at home.
Dog owners rise to high pitch of ex-
citement and demand satisfaction or re-
venge when dogs are poisoned. In this
they are eminently right. Nothing can be
too severe in condemnation of those who
poison dogs. At the same time, the per-
son who is trying to improve his proper
ty by making it more attractive, is cer-
tainly entitled to redress of some kind
against rarauding animals who raise
60 kinds of "Old Ned" on his property.
If he takes pot shot at them he can
hardly be blamed. .#.
The only remedy for the dog nuisance
rests with dog owners. If they must have
dogs they must accept the burden of re-
sponsibility for the acts of their animals.
And if they are the right kind of citizens
and neighbors they will keep their dogs
at home.
This "off again. on again" business

ting on the supreme court bench.

fines.

At the annual meeting of the Cheshire Rod and Gun club, at the state reformatory Friday evening, the following elections and appoint ments were made:

Membership com mittee appointed consisted of George Erskine, chairman, Edwin D. Chief, Paul T. Hotchkiss. Com mittee on rules: Paul Hotchkiss, Leonard E. Comstock and Peter DeBisschop. Field committee: W. o. Collins, James Tripodina, Robert Mattoon. Ways and means: l.. E. Comstock, Ralph Downes, Paul T. Hotchkiss, Dr. John Kilgus, E. D. Chubb.
 The club released 175 pheasants in Cheshire and vicinity from last March on, both full grown and young birds.
 The following committee was ap- pointed to arrange for trap shoot Columbus day, Oct. 12, at 2 p. m., on the clubs range at the reforma- tory. Chairman, R. C. Chapman, Lewis F. Cobb, F.. D. Chubb, Corbin Hauerwas and w. o. Collins.
 Lands To Be Reposted
 Starting next week land on which the hunting rights have been secured by the club will be reposted where necessary. The club would appreciate reports of any pre-sea- son hunting. For week or more prior to the opening of the season the grounds will be patrolled. Sev- eral different violators have been arrested in previous years and convicted in the Cheshire town court. The Cheshire Rod and Gun club consists of law-ablding, en- thusiastic sportsmen who not only obey the law themselves but who insist that others who frequent this area will do likewise. At the trap shoot on Columbus day, all are in- vited. If you do not care to shoot come anyway and see some fine work on the part of those who dc shoot that day. These events held in past yacrs have always been well attended and are quite popular among sportsmen.
 The following new members were taken in at this meeting: MT. smith, Fred Bemis. Joseph Alex ander. Albert T.. sAllen, MT. Steck. Mir. Bennett. Roberts Hannegon. Sr., Robert Hannegon, Jr.. Arthur Miller and Fred M. Willetts. All

cross this ridge. A large, heavily wooded area in which there are only few habitations lies north and south of there, in which deer roam. A fine and possible impris- onment, if the deer was taken with the aid of lights, may be handed out to the violator if caught. The possibility of detection, however, is very remote, because the carcass is usually disposed of quickly and the entrails buried in some place. There are only few game war dens on full time (two in each county) the rest being subject to call with some few exceptions, the same as town constable. Houses have been struck, and cows, horses and some people, by rifle bullets, in various parts of the state, which were fired at night time by those hunting deer. With the very small force of wardenD, many violations of similar nature may be expect ed to occur, with very little possi- bility of detection.
