DOGS POISONED BY WHOLESALE.
City Counselor's Neighborhood Has
Suffered from Poison Fiend.
Dr. Walter M. Cross, city chemist, yesterday found arsenic in great quantity in meat samples furnished him by the city counselor, E. C. Meservey. When Mr. Meservey went to his office yesterday morning he sent for the chemist.
"Here are some samples of meat that has been thrown around in my neighborhood. It has killed a dozen or more dogs."
The meat was tested for strychnine, but no trace of the drug was found, but in a very few minutes arsenic showed plainly. The result of the examination will be referred to the police department.
