lhe mad dog scare which for
the past few days has been at
tracting attention, is still on in
full blast and already sexeral of
the stray canines of the city have
paid the penalty for being found
running at lifrge and oil the
others which are found on the
streets xxill be executed without
warning. It is time that a large
percent of the useless animals
that have been accumulating in
the city be done awav with, as
they have become a nuisance on
the streets, it being impossible
to go up or down the street xvith
out seeing a large gathering of
these useless animals engaged in
flchting, and one place in par
ticular that seems to have been
selected for the animal to con
gregate is the court house lawn,
where in the summer they Hock
in droves, both day and night,
and it is not surprising that the
authorities have become tired of
this and started in on the
slaughter The danger from the
spread of lhe rabies among the
animals is one that cannot be
overlooked and if you value your
dog you would do xvell to keep

In the county court a petition

few years has been blind and un
able to transact matters as he

feebled condition the familv haxe
thought it necessary to take these
steps to protect the old gentle
man. The court has grunted the
prayer of the petition and named
Frank Spanpler as the guardian
of the aged gentleman, and the
court also in addition granted an
order giving permission to the
guardian to sell the personal
properiy oi .Mr. .xiurrax- in order
that the proceeds michl be ap
