SHE H1TMEWITH SHOE, SAYS SUED v prety ’’hallo girl," Mrs. Pauline Wilson, when placed on the stand Mon ti., \ morning In the superior court, told of her desertion by her husband, < h.'irlaa B. Wilson, and how she had nn.»* supported-herself and her S-year- <>ld Min on the t* a week she made as telephone girl. Mrs. Wilson, who as a pretty little wo- Mart about 25 years old, waa awarded ti n a month ntimony for her son. Karl, n bright faced lltle fellow who appear- <1 in the court room with his mother. Wilson denied the charges made by bis young wife, nnd swore that Instead of issauftlng her, ne she charged, she pkad at one time hit him on the head with a shoe. Was "Cora,” a bull pup of ala months, a vicious pup, and did she run against Miss Mary Calvin and knock her down with vicious Intent? These two momentous questions kept the civil branch of the city court. Judge Cal houn presiding, busy for more than three hours Monday morning, when the case of Mlsa Mary J. Calvin vs. J. P. McDonald waa called; 55,000 damages wns at stake on account of the dog ki this case. There were not.many spectators In the court room when the dog cam waa called, but the number of onlookers In creased as lime dragged on, nnd by noon a goodly throng was being thor oughly acquainted with ’’Cora,” a bull pup six months old, belonging to J. P. McDonald. Min Mary J. Calvin, of 61 Luckle street. In her petition for dam ages, alleged that on December IS, 1904, while passing No. 5* Capitol ave nue, a dog ran out of the yard and knocked her down. Inflicting various Injuries, for' which she asked 15,000 damages. F. R.. Martin appeared for the defendant. Rub* Arnold’s Precedent. Reuben Arnold, In his talk to the court before the case, cited an Instance In the Oeorgla records when a man owned a mule that ran amuck and ate a kid, of the goat family. The owner sued for the value of the kid, but lost on the ground that the owner of Maud did not know that she waa fond of kids, that It was not a natural thing foe mules to ent kids, and her master could not be held accountable Tor an unnatu ral and unexpected appetite. This master stroke on the part of the defense wns met by the statement of the plaintiffs attorney that the dog In question, "Cora,” was a vicious dog and until the good character of the dog could be determined, he held that point In his client’s favor. Cora’s" pedigree and all were gone Into and the defense made her out to be one of the nicest, kindest, gentlest bull pup* that lived In Atlanta. The coun eel for the plaintiff Insisted that Com waa not as gentle aa she could be, and Julian McDonald, son of the owner of the dog, admitted most anything put to him about “Cora,’’ and only insisted on one statement; "Oh, she’s a good dog all right." Reuben Arnold showed In hlf exami nation of Julian McDonald that there waa another dog visiting "Cora,” and that she waa merely accompanying the visiting dog nut of the yard, "chasing" being the correct word In dogology, when the front dog hit Miss Calvin. Considerable discussion was occasioned as to Its being the front or “hind" dog. Reuben Arnold Insisted that his dog could not be held responsible for what the front dog did. He continued: “Why, Judge, suppose there were, ten or twelve dogs running along and our dog waa the last one, we couldn't be held responsible for all tha front dogs. That would be carrying tha dog doctrine too far.” Every effort was made to And out the Identity of the visiting dog, but Julian said no card had been left, and he only saw her enough to know that she was an Kngllsh bull.- Bhs was awfully large, too, and, according to Reuben Arnold’s witnesses, did tht damage to Min Calvin. "Wouldn’t Bits Anything But Food." Beveral witnesses testified aa to the former good character of the dog, which has never been known to bite anything except the food regularly pre scribed for her. ’’Oh, 'she's u good dog all right, but Wouldn't bite.” Reuben Arnold for the defense, made a motion for a non-suit, on the ground’ that It ha^ been determined If "Cora's” Intent waa wicked or charitable, whether she or the visiting dog bit Miss Calvin, or whether '‘Cora's’’ mas ter knew she was at all vicious. Cora" dlrf not attend the trial, though ehe awaited Julian McDonald In the corridor of the court-house. A bone was her only companion In her hour of trouble.

Thle was decided upon at the meet ing of tho city executive committee at noon Monday In, the council chamber at the city hall.

In the eubetance of the resolutions which govern the election, with the exception of the double ballot box system, which will be used In the Second and the 8lxth wards.
