Saturday during the busy hours of
the afternoon Dr. Welsh's valuable
chicken dog "Dugan," while running
about town, got a dose of strychnine

hunting dog owned by the doctor that
liasgone over on the poison unlimited
express in as many years, and in he
words of a prominent citizen, "It's a

if the proper postal authorities chose
to look the matter up. For instance.

dock, the crosses the Linton
branch of the N. P., daily, and the
mail might be transfered. This would
permit a letter mailed at Braddock
after noon to reach Linton on the
same evening, and an answer to be re
ceived next day at 2 o'clock p. m. A
pooch-mall system is maintained on
the N. P. branch, but it looks pcstible
for a Linton pouch to be be made up
at Braddock and a liraddock pouch to
be made up at Linton and the junc
tion. Why not?
