LARUE BROS.

As John King, restauranteur and crack shot with the scatter-gun, was on his way to the Remington fair one day last week, he whaled away with his gun at a couple of big dogs that had downed a calf by the road-side and appeared to be making dog-meat out of. John’s aim was good and one of the dogs was killed u too dead to skin;” and John went on his way, rejoicing as one conscious of having done a good and kindly act in saving the life of a valuable calf and in taking that of a worthless and vicious dog. Last Saturday however, his rejoicing was turned to sorrow, for the man who owned the dog, and who was also the son of the man who owned the jeopardized calf, came to town with deep wrath in his heart, and prevailed upon Mr. King to go down into his jeans to the extent of Is 10, to avoid being prosecuted for shooting the dog. The said owner claimed that the slain dog was a valuable pure blood shepherd, which he would not have taken the regulation 4(40 for. Mr. king is still a benevolent minded man, but tho next time he sees a couple of dogs butchering a calf he wifi pass by on the other side and let them butcher.
