Also as a consequence men, women and children to the number of hun dreds In many neighborhoods through out the city are keeping a close watch In an effort to catch the poisoner or poisoners, Then, too, Beveral men are driving about the city in cars on the same errand. If any of these canine murderers are caught It will go hard with them, for in addition to the dan ger of physical violence threatened by the many owners of their victims, they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. ,- ..- , In one east side neighborhood alone, five dogs' have been poisoned to death within the pant week or so, and the Dr. Oltzen animal hospital reports that seven other dogs have died by the same means within tho same time, while other news comes of here and there over the city of additional dogs being poisoned. The favorite method of execution is by throwing a piece of meat mixed with ground glass or a powerful poison over the fence into a yard, where it will be found later by the dog. The person or persons guilty of this dog slaughtering do It through sheer cru elty of the deed, as in nearly every case the dog poisoned has been an In offensive pet that stayed around home.
