The animal wounded by two bullets and blood spurting from its head and one forward leg limped to its home where first aid was given and a doctor summoned. It ds believed the animal will live, but it has suffered greatly from the wounds. In the absence of its master, the dog visited a neighbor's yard and was inspecting the garbage can, when said neighbor spied the animal and is said have started shooting at it with a 32-40 calibre rifle. The first bullet penetrated of the dog's forward legs. and frightened dog quickly started limping to toward its home.

A second bullet however entered at the base of the right ear and plowed its way completely through the head. Why' this shot was not immediately fatal, those who have examined the wound are unable to explain. A third shot went wild of the mark and before another could the dog dragged itself Pittired master's yard, out of range of the rifleman. The neighbor then notified the owner of, the dog of the shooting, giving as the only reason for his act, that the dog had uncovered the garbage can and was nosing around the contents. He said he did not intend to hit the dog but fired the rifle to scare it away.

Then after he had wounded the animal he thought he might as well finish the job and fired two more shots at it Those who have seen the wounded dog, which probably will live as everything possible is being done to save its life, declare that the shooting was one of the most brutal and inhuman acts that has ever come to their attention. It is expected the matter will be brought to the attention of agent of the Humane Society, as" the injured dog has many friends in the borhood, especially among neither small children with whom it was in the habit of playing.
