INDIAN CHILD
IS POISONED
The dog poisoner again places him
self on record. This week he came
very near adding to his list a human
life. On Tuesday night night a dog
belonging to some Indians picked up
n piece of poisoned meat, carrying it
to tho Indian camp north of the town
The dog after devouring the meat
commenced frothing at tlx- mouth,
and an Indian baby playing around
the floor of the shack into which the
dog had made its way in some manner
got some of the saliva from the dog's
mouth on its hands and in turn was
also poisoned.
The child was taken to the Police
Barracks and through the efforts of
Dr. Pare its life was saved. The dc s
however died the next morning.
This matter of dog poisonhig is be
coming serious. Who knows what
little child playing about our streets
and coming in contact with thse poi
soned dogs may get some of this sal
iva or froth on their hands and in
turn convey it to their mouths. It
is to be hoped that the blame for this
dastardly practice of maliciously put
ting out poison can be firmly attached
