A. 7. BARRON.
Fined for Not Paying Their Dog Tax.
Dog DAYS are over. but the CANNES are still
causing considerable trouble in legal circles,
although several Hundred of them have been
killed this year by Poundmaster Einstein. July
the new license year began and ample time
was given the owners to procure their tags.
The failure of the citizens to procure az many
tags as were sold last year caused the collector
Of taxes to call attention tothe matter. Since
then the police have used extra diligence.
and number of persons have been
taken before the court for failure to take ont
their licenses. Heretofore when such cases were
brought to court the defendants were per-
mitted to go free upon purchasing their tags
but Judge Kimbal has called halt in that
direction. If persons will not get the tags until
the time and trouble of the police have been
given the court is not going to let them off
simply with the price Of its tax.
Two cases were disposed OF today. Edward
Boomer was the defendant in one case, and on
account Of his having disposed of the canine
the court let him OFF upon payment OF 50. but
in the case Of Alexander Jones' colored, where
the facts were different, the fine was IS, and
the judge said he would permit 80 of the fine
to be applied to the license tax.
