This canine sought enjoyment in tearing the arm of a girl named Josophino Bredcrscn, and physicians had to be called in. The case was an aggravated one, as it appears, and damages were sought in court. On Friday tho third district court had the matter under hearing, and a jury listened eagerly to tho evidence evi-dence and the arguments, illuminated by tho one concerning irrigation and the watering of flowers, and by tho other on the science of dogology generally. gener-ally. They were learnedly and loudly appealed to by both sides, and like wise men chewed the cud of reflection over their deliberations, finally returning return-ing a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for five hundred dollars damages." We might enlarge upon this question ques-tion of canines, but the simple fact of the owner of one dangerous dog having hav-ing to pay for its tearing teeth in this fashion, will bo a more effectual caution cau-tion to the owners of similar brutes than any ordinary adviso to them to have the dogs shot or keep thorn tied up. |
