ter here under special appoint-
ment by Sheriff W. S. Willis ac-
,,,nling to announcement made
Monday by the Sheriff.
Appointment of the pound mas-
tor was made by the Sheriff at
the request of citizens who sought
enforcement of the stock laws now
in force in this county. Stray
animals have been roaming about
the city, doing hundreds of dol-
lars worth of damage to lawns,

impose nominal fines upon own-
ers who allow them to run at large
it is believed that residents will
not hesitate to notify the pound
man when an animal is found run-
ning at large. It is also believed
that payment of a few penalties
will bring about a determination
on the part of owners of livestock
in town to provide secure pens for
them or to see that they are se-
curely tied. **
Fee Is $2 Per Head
Mr. EUedge says that he ac-
cepted the sheriff’s appointment
to the post more in the belief that
he could be of service to the com-
munity than for what small fees
he might make from it. He, too,
believes that the nuisance will be
abated once owners of livestock
are convinced that the law will be
enforced and that if their stock is
allowed to run at large a sure pen-
alty will result.
A pound fee of $2 per head will
be charged on all animals im-
pounded. In addition to this
charge there will be a day charge
of $1 for each day the animal Is
kept in the pound and if it be-
comes necessary to feed impound-
ed animals, the feed bill will be
charged to the owner in addition
to the other penalties. Animals
not claimed in a reasonable length
of time will be sold at auction to
recover charges.
Mr. Elledge will be available at
his residence. Phone No. 182. most
°f the time. He has a horse and
"addle and will be equipped to
bike charge of any stray animals
promptly upon being notified of
thtir whereabouts. Residents are
urged to notify Mr. Elledge im-
niediately upon discovery of a
"bay animal in order that damage
t<> neighborhood premises might
be avoided if possible.
ganization. A minimum of fifteen
names is required for establish-
ment of a post. The petition for
a post in Ozona will be forwarded
by the division commander to na-
tional headquarters and as soon
as the charter is granted an or-
ganization meeting will likely be
called by Mr. Lambert.
The 10th U. 8. Cavalry Band, on
a good-will tour of the southwest,
drew a big crowd at ita down-
town concert in front of the North
Motor Company. Previous to the
concert, the negro soldiers, a
crack troop stationed at Fort
Huachuca, Arizona, paraded
through the business section of
the city to the place of the con-
cert.
Beginning at 9 o'clock, the army
band played for a dance on the
open-air platform at the fair
grounds. A small crowd of danc-
ers took part in the event.
