DOGS KILL MANY SHEEP.

Farmers in Bartholomew Co. Make Frequent Appeals to Trustees. Columbus, Ind., Nov. 27.—Sheepkilling dogs are getting to be common in this county. Wardell Western, a farmer who lives east of the city, reports that two dogs attacked a flock of sheep owned by him, killed fifteen and maimed eighteen. There were forty-three sheep in the flock. His damage has been appraised at $268, and the township has to pay this amount. Hardly a day passes but what the township trustee receives a call from some farmer whose sheep have been attacked by dogs. The dogs do all their killing at night.
