Show Surely a No-Account Dog. A man In Missouri rccontly sued a rnllway company for damages for the death of a hound killed on tho track, says tho Youth's Companion. Tho company defended Itself upon tho following points: Said dog was chasing n rabbit up defendant's tracks In violation of tho gamo laws. Said rabbit lived on defendant's right of way, nnd was th'eroforo tho property of tho defendant. Plaintiff's dog was a trcspaBsor, nnd was hunting defendant's property without permission. Said deceased was not much of a dog, anyhow, or It could easily havo kopt out of tho way of defendant's trains. And having fully nnsworcd, defendant defend-ant prays to bo discharged. |
