P. Barber lost —two valuable pointer dogs by poisoning Monday evening. Mr. Barber, with friends, had been out in the country during the day on a hunting expedition, returning in the evening with the dogs. He gave them some food which he had prepared for them and within a 'very short time two of them were dead. The third dog, after sniffing at the food, refused to eat it. It was evident that someone had placed the poison in' the food, but what prompted their deed is perplexing Mr. Barber. The dpgs were not allowed to run at large, but were always kept in a pen.
