Salem. But Boy Fires Shot That Counts

Farmers and County Dog Warden
Dean Ellis, of Marietta, armed with
shotguns and rifles, famed out over
the hills between Warner and
Lower Salem on a mad dog hunt
Monday. The dog was killed by a
15-year-old boy, who had never
fired a shotgun.
This dog had been hit by bullets
several times from the guns of Ellis
and Ionic Schofield, when it was
finally brought down by John
Cooper.
The hunt really began four weeks
ago when a black shepherd dog
suddenly appeared on the farm of
L. H. Griffen on the back road be-
tween Warner and Lower Salem.
This dog attacked two dogs and two
cows before it disappeared. Later it
is reported to have bitten dog al
Whipple. 1t was never seen again.
Monday zone of Griffin's cows went
mad
Last week Ellis was called to the
Griffin farm and killed one of the
dogs, but it did not appear to be
suffering from rabies. Then he
killed a dog at Whipple. Everett
Lauer, who lives across Duck creek,
reported his dog had suddenly died.
A black and tan female fox
hound, owner unknown, went mad
Monday and attacked cattle on the
Fred Neib farm on Paw Paw creek,
below Fulton bridge, and a fox
terrier at the nome of A. w. Scho-
field. 1t later appeared at the farm
of Charles Doan in Lower Salem,
attacked a dog there, tried to break
through a screen door to reach two
children and then showed up on
the John Fleeman farm about half
way between Warner and Lower
Salem.
The hound first rushed at Flee
man, who was setting tomato
stakes. He beat the dog with one
of the stakes. The dog then attacked
Fleeman's dogs and he was forced
again to beat it off.
1t was later killed by Cooper,
after having been previously shot
by the warden and Schofield.

County Officials
Slated For Boost
In Pay By Law
Thirty Percent
Increase Will Go
To New Officers

Columbus, June IL - OP - All
Noble county elected officials seem
slated for a thirty percent increase
in salary for the next term of office
This salary boost of thirty percent
was adopted as a formula by the
Organization of State Government
Committee of the House of Repre-
sentativeS which has been deluged
with flood of salary bills from the
Senate.
A Senate-approved bill to hike
the salary of the present county
auditor before he took office the
second Monday in March was kept
from coming to a vote on the floor
of the House by the powerful Rules
Committee in time for him to get
the boost.
With the exception of the county
auditor and one commissioner,
whose term of office began in Jan
uary of this year, all of the county
officials to be elected in 1948 will
enjoy an increase in pay. The coun-
ty auditor and one commissioner
will not be entitled to a hike until
the next elective term begins in
1851. Ohio law prevent incumbents
from accepting pay increases.
With a thirty percent increase,
here's how Noble county elective of
ficials salaries would be hiked:
County commissioners from $1,000
to Sl560; county auditor from $l40O
to Sl820; prosecuting attorney from
1886 to $1255; clerk of courts from
S1368 to $1778; sheriff from $lO46 to
Sl359; county recorder from $966 to
Sl255; county treasurer from S140O
to $500, and county engineer from
$2l00 to $2730.
1t is expected that. the salary in
crease will cause many more to seek
public office in Noble county since
the salaries were always considered
in the past as too low.
In Noble county, the auditor will
benefit from this pay increase since
a new official will be named at the
1948 election. The pres
ent auditor is serving only until this
time and will relinquish his duties
as such the next day following the
election. All of this is in accordance
with the General Code of Ohio and
resulted when Harley Wheeler re-
signed this position to become
superintendent of the state high
ways in Noble county.
