Reports of near accidents have come in, and in several cases we are informed dog buttons have been taken from the hands ot babies. That’s serious. Within the past week several valuable dogs have been killed including one owned by Jay Cline and for which he had refused fifty dollars and another owned by Forest Elzey and a pet in the north part of town. It is a violation of the laws. If the dogs bother you, notify the owners and then tire police and get rid of them in a manner which does not endanger the lives of children. Be human at least.
