[From Wednesdays Sun]
    Yesterday the police of Waukegan shot four dogs for the crime of chicken murder.
    The canines had killed, maimed and mistreated chickens belonging to Louis Thewes, Miss Hill, Mrs. Rod Wells and Mrs. Fillenbeck, all of whom live on different sections of the north side, ranging from Sheridan road west to Mill street and from Clayton street north.
    The dogs simply kill the fowl in blood lust and as far as is known rarely if ever devour the carcases, tearing the birds to pieces and leaving them.
    The record of four running amuck is unique in the annals of the city.
