It is dangerous to scatter poison
around for dogs and should be a pun-
ishable offense. The Infant child of a
former Perry man who now lives In
In Tulsa, I. T., died Tuesday from eat-
ing poison found in the yard of a neigh-
bor who had scattered it for dogs.

Coy Bowers and Clyde Fowler, son
of Policeman Fowler, of Oklahoma
City, went to a dance and became in-
toxicated. When ready to return
home they took a rig which did not
belong to thein and as a consequence

arrest Bowers after being arrested
broke away and was shot in the hip
by one of the three policemen who had
them in charge.

We believe we endorse the major
portion of the town when we say; "Let
every business run Itself," as long as
they run that business according to
law. Now we do not believe In roast-
ing anyone or any business, because
we are out for all the business *e can
get as long as we get it legitimately,
and we want no other. In our con-
temporaries aheet this week the following
article was published which is a slam
to the men who pay the big end
of Edmonds revenue. If it Is to be
stopped, let the legislature put a stop to
It, and till they do. let them alone as
long as they conduct business ac
cording to law. As far as we know
they are strictly business men, in busi-
ness in Edmond and should receive
the same treatment that every other
business receive. Following is the
article above mentioned: The new
building on Second street is about
completed and ready for occupancy,
and If it were destined for any other
use than the one Intended for it, would
be quite an addition to our little city.

P. P. Greler met with a bad ac-

a young colt and the animal reared up
striking Mr. Grimes on the head with

shoulder. Although very painful the
wound was not serious.

ween the boys to see which one
