SMITH TAKEN AWAY
ON MURDER CHARGE
Was "Cora,” a bull pup of alx
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 courL Judge Cal
houn presiding, busy for more than
three hours Monday morning, when the
case of Mlsa Mary J. Calvin vs. J. P.
McDonald was called; 16,000 damages
was at stake on account of the dog In
this case.
There were not many spectators In
the court room when the dog case was
called, but the number'of onlookers In
creased as time dragged on, and by
noon a goodly throng was being thor
oughly acquainted with “Cora." a {full
■pup six months old, belonging to J. P.
McDonald. Mlaa Mary J. Calvin, of 61
I.uckle street. In her petition for dam
ages, alleged that on December 26,
1604, while passing No. 66 Capitol ave
nue, a dog ran out of the yard and
knocked her down, Inflicting various
Injuries, for which ahe asked 66,000
damages. F. R. Martin appeared for
the defendant.
Rubs Arnold’s Precedent.
Reuben Arnold. In hie talk to the
court before the case, cited an Instance
In the Georgia records when a man
owned a mule that ran amuck and ate
a kid, of the goal 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 Was fond of kids,
that It was not a natural thing for
mules to cat kids, and her master could
not be held accountable for an unnatu
ral and unexpected nppetlte.
This master stroke on the part of the
defense was 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 hla client's favor.
''Cora's” pedigree and all were gone
Into and the defenae made her out to be
one of the nicest, kindest, gentlest bull
pupa that lived In Atlanta. The conn
ael for the plalntlfT Insisted that Cora
was not as gentle as ahe 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'* a good
Reuben Arnold showed In hla examt
nation of Julian McDonald that there
was another dog visiting “Cora,” and
that ahe was merely" accompanying the
visiting dog out of the yard, "chasing"
being the correct word In dogologyr
when the front dog hit Mlsa Calvin.
Considerable discussion was occasional
as to Its being the front or "hind" dog.
Reuben Arnold Inejeted that hla 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
nld responsible for all the front
dogs. That would bs carrying the dog
doctrine too far.”
Every effort was made to And out
the Identity of the visiting dog, but
Julian aald no card had been left, and
he only saw her enough to know that
aha was an English bull. She waa
awfully large, too, and, according to
Reuben Arnold's wltneaaea, did the
damage to Miss Calvin.
"Wouldn't Bits Anything But Pood.
Several wltneaaea testified as to the
former good character of the dog,
which haa never been known to bit*
anything except the food regularly pre
scribed for her. "Oh, she's a good dog
all right, but wouldn't bits.''
Reuben Arnold for the defenae, made
a motion for a nnn-ault, on the ground
that It had 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 ahe was at all vicious,
“Cora" did not attend the trial,
though aha awaited Julian McDonald
In the corridor of the court-house. A
hone waa her only companion In her
hour of trouble.

NO WARD PRIMARY FOR THE
ALDERMEN.
Resolution Providing for Majority
Vote to Elect Met Over
whelming Defeat.
Wednesday, August 22, waa named
the date of the white city primary.
This was decided upon at the meet
Ing of the city executive committee at
noon Monday In the council chamber
at the city hall.
The rules for the primary will be
this year practically the same as they
were last year. In fact, there are
no change* whatever, In the substance
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 Sixth
wards. Even this has been tried on
one previous occasion and found emi
nently successful, as It relieves the
congestion at the polls during the rush
hours of election day.
- The first matter taken up at the
meeting was the election of a successor
to J. B. Ragsdale, of the Third, re
signed. P. G. Keeney was elected to
Dll the vacancy.
B. Lee Smith, of the Fourth ward,
offered the resolution that the matter
of filling vacancies be left to the 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 was dangerous, that It
narrowed down ward rights, putting
them In the hands of two or throe men.
Mr. Smith declared that It was the ex
pressed purpose of the resolution to set
a precedent that In electing members
to the executive committee the wards
respectively showed confidence In the
ability and the Judgment of those they
elected, and that this Judgment could,
and should, be rolled upon. A number
of other speeches were heard on the
resotutldh, which was Anally carried
unanimously, with the exception of Mr.
Brown's vote. However, before It waa
passed the resolution had been so
amended that the selection of names
to All vacancies should be left to the
remaining committeemen of the ward
Ip queatlon and then voted upon tty the
committee.
Majority Vote Requirement Loses.
One of the features of the meeting
was the effort to establish tha rule of
majority Instead of a plurality vote to
elect, and In case the former was not
received by any candidate a second
election to be held. The result of this,
had It not met defeat, n-oujd 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 to the general

Wright la an amiable and gentle young
woman and that she .lid not believe
the child wee whipped too severely.
She said the little fellow .was dis

bruises by stating that Saturday
morning the child fell twice out onto
the porch at the Sheltering Arms and
that these ' falls caused the bruise*.
