The Dog Was in the Right.
Special to tine CLONE.

Special 10 the GLOBE.
CHICAGO, June Henry Alback, a
saloonkeeper in the West Twelfth street
district, possesses small Scotch terrier. To-
day the owner came before Justice G. J.
White, IN answer to summons, to show why
the dog should not be shot. John Allie, a
middle-aged married man, was the COM
plalnant. 1t was shown that on Friday
evening, few minutes before midnight, he
went into saloon to get glass of wine.
No one was i'll the place except the wife of
the saloonkeeper, very young and pretty
woman. She, however. waited upon the
customer. They became engaged in con-
versation, and, without thinking, he put
his hand on the woman's shoulder. The
dog made grab at his leg and took out a
fair-sized mouthful. The animal was about
to make a second attack when Alback
came into the saloon and pulled
him off. After the wound had
been cauterized the man went home and
told his wife. She was badly frightened
and declared that if the dog was not killed
he would certainly have hydrophobia. The
saloonkeeper positively refused to have the
animal killed, and hence summons was
made out for him to appear in court. When
the case was called Alback stated that he
was OuISlOo Une Saloon Wnen Allie went IN
to get his drink. He saw him commence to
talk to his wife and noticed that he became
very familiar to her. In a short time he
put his arm around her waist and was about
to embrace her when the dog put stop to
the proceedings by fastening his teeth in
the mans legs. The witnesses all swore to
the same thing. At this point the court
announced that the dog would not have to
be killed, as the statute on the subject re-
ferred only to cases where there was not
any trespassing on another mans property,
while in this case trespass was clearly
shown

the richness of Goshen. there are men in
want OF food who appeal to the charity of
strangers. Why should this be in land that
can produce so very abundantly? Why
should any one want? ] do not think it is
difficult TO find Il reason. Seven hundred

in Ireland and the other half is owned by
about 5000 more, and of the rural home farm
land of Ireland there are but 1928 owners
IN all, whereas there are l.
100000 adult males in Ireland.
AS the British authorities quote give it,
$3.50 persons own over four-ifths, and they
take from the tenantry that cultivate the
lands S66, 000,0 900 rental per annum. Now,
mark you, am talking of the little island not
so large as Maine. and they pay rental of
S6G, 100000 per annum, and then they pay an
imperial tax of S35,00o000, and local tax of
$15,000,000 more. There are $116, 000,-

suit. /, therefore, for one. shall not be dis

for her health, and took board in thor
oughly unexceptional locality. Her property
being in bonds. she was accustomed to re-
ceive the income from time to time in bills
of large denomination which she deposited
temporarily in some bank in whatever city
she was at the time q resident. AT this par

both sexes to whom she showed the certfi-
Gates pronounced them worthless. One of
the bills was given to the cook and by her
burned in the stove and four were handed by
the chambermald in the evening to her little
brother. One brother who works in q grocery

Charged with stealing Oil.

BRADFORD Pa, June Nv. n.
George, of Duke Center, a prominent Or
ganizer of the Knights of Labor, has been
held to bail on the charge of robbing the
National Transit Pipe Line company for
period of three years of manv thousand
barrels of oil. George has four wells. the
contents of which discharge into one tank.
Near this tank was one of the Transit COM
pany's three-inch pipe lines buried in the
ground. This line was tapped, tits alleged,
a half-inch pipe inserted, and led away to
Georges tank. George sold his oil to
rival company, the Tidewater, and, though
twas a matter of wonder that the produc-
ton of his wells was so much larger than
those of his neighbors, no one could tell
where the extra Oil came from until few
days ago. when the owner Of the land on
which the wells are situated made the dis
coveay that led to Georges arrest. 1t is
charged that about twelve barrels each day
have been stolen for three years, making
total of over 5000 barrels. The prisoner
bears high reputation. and his arrest
caused a sensation
