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. LOCAL NEWS CONDENSED Franks Goes; Candler Comet. On July 15, W. O.

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.
