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.

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.
