IN A BAD QUARTER.
Kentucky Avenue Adds Two More Fights
to Its Long String.

The notorious Kentucky avenue was pro-
ductive of two scraps during the day
yesterday. Though blood flowed as a re-
suit of each of them the combatants in
neither case were seriously injured. Neither
of them was reported to the police and no
arrests were made. The first occurred at
about noon, in the vicinity Of Kentucky
avenue and Georgia street. A man named
Cook, grocer on Indiana avenue, was as
suited in this case by two men, whose
names are unknown. The two men began
abusing Cook, and applied vile epithets to
him. When he resented them they assault
ed him. Cook was holding his own, even
against the odds OF two to one, but while
the fight was in progress a friend Of Cook s
r lppened along and took a hand in IL. In a
very few minutes his two assailants We're
put to rout. They fled down the street with
blood-covered faces. After having made
sure that they were safe from pursuit by
Cook and his assistant they went into Olaf
Olsen's bolt works and washed the blood
from their faces. The names of the two
men were not learned, and If Cook knew
them he did not tell il.
About O'Clock in the afternoon Kelley's
saloon, at the old haymarket, was the
scene of another bloody row. In this fight
Thomas Greasy. residing at No. 81 South
West street, was the used-up man. His
upper lip, on the left side, was cut to the
teeth with some blunt instrument, probably
a rock. The wound was sewed up by DR..
carp short time after the fight. Greasy
was under the influence of liquor, and
either did not know or did not care to tell
much about how he came to De injured. He
said he had been assaulted at Kelley's sa-
loon by a man he had never seen before.
He did not know why he had been at
tackled. A man named John Pierson, re-
siding at No. 756 South East street saw
the fight between Greasy and his assailant,
and said the attack upon the former was
vicious and unprovoked.

ANIMALS WITH RABIES.
William Reynolds Has to Kill His Dog
and Horse Thus Afflicted.

William B. Reynolds, a groceryman at
the corner of Elizabeth and Blake streets,
mourns the loss of valuable bulldog and
delivery horse, both of which he was
compelled to kill. Two months ago his dog
a thoroughbred animal, valued at $50, began
to show unmistakable signs of rabies. The
dog would go off into violent commissions
at the sight of basin of water and when
not suffering acutely from the disease
would spend hours in gnaw!ng at the stable
doors any convenient piece of wood. The
owner of the stricken animal, fearing il
would bite some of the members of his
family. decided two weeks ago to put an
end to its sufferings. He did So but not
until his delivery horse had received a bite
from the craZed animal. Two days ago the
horse began TO display peculiar symptoms,
and on Saturday when the stable boy at
tempted to put the harness on the animal
he barely escaped serious injury. The suf-
fering brute kicked, screamed and reared
and finally cleared the stable lot DR..
Pritchard, the veterinarian was called to
see the horse, and at once informed the
owner that the animals s. .nptoms indi-
Gated advanced case of hydrophobia.
The surgeon suggested that the animal be
killed and, acting upon his advice Mr..
Reynolds yesterday found an easy way to
put the brute out of its misery.

MANY UNLICENSED DOGS.
The Inspector Stirring Their Owners

Up with n sharp stick.
Although the dog licenses thus far is
sued this year exceed the number issued
last year by more than one thousand, there
are still several thousand unlicensed dogs
in the city, the owners of which will be
required TO pay the stipulated fee and a
fine Inf addition thereto if the license is not
taken out within a few days Thus far
there have been 4,079 dog licenses issued
as against 1921 last year. There are yet,
however, 1921 unlicensed dogs in the city.
The license Inspector has taken lists of
names from the controllers office of per-
sons who have failed to secure licenses and
the patrolmen each day notify these per-
sons to attend to the matter. They also
make daily reports Of the owners Of dogs
VINO have not complied with the law. After
this report by the patrolman is received
the persons whose names appear upon II
are given a reasonable time in which to
secure the license. and if IL is not secured
then they are TO be arrested.
During the strike, while most of the
patrOlmen were Withdrawn from their dis
tricts, the license clerk in the controller :
office had very little 10 do. Some days not
a half dozen licenses were issued. Yester-
day the number reached over two hundred.
Controller TruSler says there is a mistaken
Idea that dog must be six months old be-
fore the owner is compelled to- take out a
license for him. If the dog was but che
day old on June / the owner is liable for
the license. The controller says also that
number of persons have killed and driven
away dogs that were owned by them 10
owned a dog June l is liable for the license
whether or not be possesses one at the
present time.
Last night at roll call sixty-four war
rants were given the police officers to serve
citizens who have neglected to set dog
licenses.
