houn presiding, busy for more than
three hours Monday morning, when the
ense of Mlaa Mary J. Calvin va. J. P.
McDonald waa called; $5,000 damages
waa at stake on account of the dog In
thla rose.
There were not many spectators In
the court room when the dog case was
called, but the number of omookera In
creased aa time dragged on, and by
noon a goodly throng was being thor
oughly acquainted with “Cora,” a bull
ip alx months old, belonging to J. P.
'cDonald. Miss Mary J. Calvin, qf 51
Luckie street, In her petition for dam
ages, alleged Hint on December tt,
1504, while passing No. 5$ Capitol ave
nue, a dog ran out of the yard and
knocked her down. Inflicting various
Injuries, for which ahe asked $5,000
damages. F. R. Martin appeared for
tha defendant.
Rubs Arnold's Precedent.
Reuben Arnold. In >hie talk to IJie
court before the case, cited an Instance
In the Georgia records when a man
owned a mule that ran umuck 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 aha woe fond of kids,
that It waa not a natural thing for
mules to rnt kids, and her muter could
not be held accountable for an unnatu
ral and unexpected appetite.
This inaetcr stroke on the part of the
defense was met by the stntement of
the plaintiffs attorney that the dog In
question, "Corn," was a vicious dog and
until tha good character of the dog
could be determined, he held that point
In hla 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
pupa that lived In Atlanta. The coun
sel for the plaintiff insisted that Cora
was not aa gentle as she could be, and
Julian McDonald, son of the owner of
the dog, admitted moat anything put
to him about "Cora," and only Insisted
on one statement: "Oh, she’s a good
dog all right."
Reuben Arnold showed In hla exami
nation of Julian McDonald that there
waa another dog visiting "Cora,” and
that ahe wu merely accompanying the
visiting dog out of tha yard, ‘‘chasing"
being the correct word In dogology,
when the front dog hit Mlu Calvin.
Considerable discussion waa occuloned
aa to Its being the front or ‘‘hind’’
Reuben Arnold Insisted that hla
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 tha last one, we couldn't
be held responsible for all the front
dogs. That would be carrying the dog
doctrine too far." <
Every effort waa made to find 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 Engllah bull. She waa
awfully large, loo, an<L according to
Reuben Arnold's witnesses, did the
damage to Mlaa Calvin
Wouldn't Bite Anything But Food.”
Several witnesses testified as’ to the
farmer good character of the dog,
which Has never been known to bite
anything except the food regularly pre
scribed for her. "Oh, she’s a 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 had been determined If ‘‘Cora'a"
Intent was wicked nr charitable,
whether ahe or tho visiting dog bit
Miss Calvin, or whether "Cora's" mas
ter knew she waa at all vlcloua.
Cora" did not attend the trial,
though ahe awaited Julian McDonald
In tha corridor of the court-house. A
bone was her only companion In her
hour of trouble.

Wednesday, August 22, was named
the date of the white city primary.
This was decided upon at the meet
tng of the city executive committee at
noon Monday In the council chamber
at the city hall.
The rulea for the prlttfary will be
Ihle year practically the same as they
were laat year. In facL there are
no changes whatever. In the substance
of the resolutions which govern the
election, with the exception of tho
double ballot .box system, which will
be used In the Second and the Sixth
wards. Even this has been tried on
one previous occasion and found eml
nently successful, as It relieves the
congeetlon at the polle during the rush
hours of election day.
The first' matter taken up at the
meeting waa the election of a successor
In J, U. Ilugadale, of the Third, re
signed. P. o. Keeney' waa elected ft
All the vacancy. ...
B. Lee Smith, of the Fourth ward,
offered the resolution that the matter
of filling vacancies he left to th* other
committeemen from the ward In which
the vacancy occurred. This was stout
ly fought by Walter R. Brown, of the
Second, who maintained that It set a
precedent which waa dangerous, that It
narrowed down ward rights, putting
them in the hands of two or three men,
Mr. Smith declared that It waa the eg.
pressed purpose of the resolution to se
a precedent that In electing membera
to the executive committee the wards
respectively showed confidence In tho
ability and the Judgment of those they
elected, and that this Judgment could,
and ahould, be relied upon. A number
of other speechea were heard on the
resolution, which was finally carried
unanlmoualy, with the exception of Mr.
Brown'a vote. However, before It waa
paaaed the resolution had been so
amended that the selection of names
to All vacancies should be left to tha
remaining committeemen of the ward
In question and then voted upon by the
committee.
Majority Vote Requirement Loses,
Una of the features of the meeting
was ths effort to establish the rule of
a majority Instead of a plurality vote to
elect, and In case the former was not
received by any candidate a second
election to bo. held. The result of this,
had It not met defeat, would have been
to cause a second primary In practical
ly eVery ward where three or more
candidates were voted upon. The reso
lution or amendment lo the -general
reaolutlon waa presented by B. F. Chil
dress, of the First, and tabled by an
overwhelming majority.
