There are many dogs running around
town which are utterly worthless and
seem to belong to no one. There are
others which some one claims and these
dogs are nut only worthless, but some
of them are dangerous. A more rigid
enforcement of the dog license would
doubtless result in less dogs, and a bet
ter quality. The authorities should do
a little enforcing.
The electric light plant was off duty
last Sunday night, and our citizens had
a taste of what it is to do without. The

placed around in very primitive fashion.

againßt him. It seems that at a dance
at Coolidge, last Friday night, Bob got
’ into a fight with some men, and was
quite severely benten, after he had beat
en up nnother man. The next dny,
while all the parties were more or less
intoxicated, Bob appeared at the depot
in Coolidge, and put two loads from a
shot gun into one man, and then delib
erately shot another man. The latter
died in about two hours, and the other
man was not expected to live. We were

' grand childien and great-grandchildren
