Owen, Chester Johnson and Carl E; Larsen homes. The second dog for the Johnsons, killed with the same poison, died last Monday; the same type of poison killed the Owen dog Friday afternoon and the latest of seven dogs reported poisoned in that area is the highly regarded dog of the Carl E. Larsens, new Brigham City residents. According to Chief of Police Dell Fife,, the seven dogs have been poisoned and numerous cats have been sick in the area. About six months ago the same neighborhood suffered the same malady someone administering poison to pets. William Hadleys dog also got some of the poison but seems to be recovering. Hadley forced milk, lard and eggs on his dog and the animal is reported to t be improving.- Poisoning in this manner is a vicious inhumane thing to do, Chief Fife said, but if a child in the area gets the poison before an animal, the person responsible is going to have a ser, ious charge to answer to. The police have been investigating and plan to continue their investigation.
