CATCH THE DOGS

The powers that hand out assign
mcnts to Key West police officers could
earn the thanks of the entire city if they
would turn one or two of the more
agile patrolmen into dog-catchers for few
days.
Key Vests dog situation is so old it
has come to be regarded almost as an in
tuition. but whatever it is called, the
practice of letting ownerless dogs romp
all over the city is a definite nuisance.
Whole packs of them run through the
trcets day and night, apparently perfectly
SIC to make as much noise as they choose.
One prominent citizen has removed a
lew Of the dogs by the simple eXpedient of
shooting them, but the police probably
would be inclined to frown if the practice
became general.
Seriously, the city council could au-
th9rze the police department to make
roundup OF the stray dogs and the Society
Tor he revention of Cruelty to Animals
would have no grounds for serious COM
rlant if the officers remedied their lack of
gas chamber by shooting them.

: night, they. apparently continue to
bark and howl until exhaustion forces them
to quiet down for nap.
Several cases have been reported to
the sheriff's office recently where owners of
dogs found their pets dead by poison. The
~aeon Is simply that some of the city's resi-
ent have decided to rid themselves of the
leg packs ard have left poison where it
could be picked up by the first animal that
passed.
Poison is cruel way to kill dog.
There is no reason why citizens should
be forced to take such measures. The city
could and should do something about it.

SOME FAMOUS DUELS

In the early days of the United States
duellng was quite common, numerous pub
lie men having met their adverseries on the
field of honor" often with fatal results.
The most notable of American duels was
that in which Vice-President Aaron Burr
killed Alexander Hamilton, first secretary
of the treasury, in 1904.
During the Revolutionary War nom
fatal duels were fought between General
Charles Lee and Colonl John Laurens, and
between Generals Cadwallader and Con-
way. General Lachlan Mcintosh MORALLY
wounded Button GWinnett, signer of the
Declaration of Independence, in a duel
fought in 1777.
Andrew Jackson fought several duels
before he became president, in one of
which, in 1906, he killed Charles Dickin-
son and was himself severely wounded.
While editor of a st. Louis newspaper,
Thomas II. Benton was involved in a num-
Der of duels, and killed Charles Lucas in
1917. Benton afterward served 80 years
in the United States Senate.
Commodore James Barron killed the
distinguished Naval officer, Commodore
Stephen Decatur, inA1820
Henry Clay, then secretary of state,
fought harmless duel with Senator John
Randolph of Virginia in 1925. Congress
men w J. Graves of Kentucky and Jona-
than Cilly of Maine fought in 1888, the
latter being killed.
One of the last fatal duels between
high officials was fought in 1859, in which
Senator David c. Broderick of California
was killed by Judge Terry of the same
state.
In 1889 Congress outlawed dueling in
the District of Columbia, and it is now
criminal offense in all states of the Union.
