As' I remem- "ber U now, not a Single case that we have had before us was aday time killing. Every sheep, as I recall it, has been destroyed at night . Something is bad wrong. If we have a dog law that says that every dog owner must keep his dog tied or- housed , at night, we, as your County Commission ers, have decided that, this fea ture of the law must be obeyed., It is the duty of every man who is interested 4n , sheep rais ing to help us eliminate this pub lic nuisance. In other words it is ybur.duty to report to us ev ery man who does not keep his dog tied or housed at night. All you will have to do will be to give your County Commissioners the names of parties who are viola ting this Important phase of the law and mark witness enough on your report to convict said viola tor and you 'heed not be quoted in the case, if you do not care to be mixed up with your neighbor in the matter. .When we get the names with a sufficient number of witnesses, we will hand same to the Solicitor who will look af ter the remaining details." It is not our purpose to give people unnecessary trouble but, the people are paying out an end less amount of hard-earned mon ey because of the carelessness of some dog owners."
