There is a dog owned by parties in the north end which will get its owners into serious trouble unless it is kept tied and well muzzled.

This advice should be sufficient. The pony owned by Miss Lett'e Kinzt was tied this morning in the vacant lot next the Hensley jewelry store. The little animal was tired and attempted to lay down. In some manner it pulled the chain which is stretched across the lot and to which it was tied, down almost to < ( the ground with its head hanging over it.
