Dog poisoning seems to be the rage
through the Northwest
La Grande is not the only city in
the Northwest that is in the throes
of a doz poisoning epedlmic. Pen
dleton has it badly, and Colfax, ac
cording to report, has been through
the diBasreeable experience. ' Drastic
measures have been adopted at Pen
dleton. ', 'j . "v- ;. ' . '
Dogs are not the only animals fal
ling prey to the poisoner here. Cats
in' many numbers have gone through
the painful death. One instance,, of
toils was when Joe Whitby's vaulable
dog was poisoned and . two cats; at
the same time died from a like cause.
As has been true in other Northwest
cities, the dogs all find the poisoned
meat In their, own yards, indicating
that some : fiend - is . spreading the
dope'! purposely. The Pendleton E.
O vi of thft Pfrndleton polsoninx:
Incensed at , the wholesale- poison
ing of dogs by Bome unprincipled "Ku-,
man being, dogowners of North Pen
dleton held a meeting last evening
hand suscribed a fund of 1250 which
will be offered as a remard for evi
dence which will lead to the arrest
and conviction of the ; person guilty
of the outrage. It was also decided
that a detective be brought from Port
land to work on the case.
As a result of the activity of the
North Pendleton dog poisoner there
are only five or six dogs remaining
on that side of the river and all but
(rre or two of these have been poi--soned
at some time or another and
have been saved by prompt action by
ventrinarians. As nearly every dog
poisoned has been stricken . in his
home, yard the belief is growing that
the pojson has been thrown to them
while .they were at home.
t It is said that the guilty person is
one or twQ Individuals and. the own
ers are making every effort to deter
nine which of these two is guilty and
they will endeavo to send him to
to the penitentiary. : - '''
As the present law makes dogs per
Bonn! property, their " destructions is
A penitentiary offense. Some of those
killed have been valuable bird dogs
find as about 25 have been poisoned
within .the past 'few months their com
b'ned value .will .probably be sufflcl
eiil to, send the guilty person to the
l.(nJtentiary;for. several years.
