Yes! If you have a dog, he

until the elle, of July. That
is, if you live in Clinton.
If you live in Bayfield, the
regulation is,` that no dog shall
run at large any time through-
out the year.
What is the penalty? Well,
we understand that dogs which
do run at large, contrary to
bylaws, are subject to the
actions of deg-catchees. They
may be impounded, and if
after a certain time they are
not claimed, they may be put
to death. If they are claimed,
then the owner is charged with
costs of catching, feeding and
