Dogs Poisoned
Several dogs have been poisoned lately within the Borough and according to information which has been handed to the police the area concerned appears to be between the Strand and the Showgrounds. Over the weekend a beautiful young sporting dog was the latest victim and from the president of the local Rod and Gun Club (Mr J. D. Rivett) we learn that the utmost concern is felt amongst sportsmen in the town. The method employed is strichnine, and among the lesser victims is a number of domestic cats. As it is illegal for private persons to lay poison within the Borough, the person responsible is liable to summary conviction, and he or she would receive little sympathy from the general public.
