The 90 sheep that dogs killed for Geo.
Krug, some nights ago cost the county
$62 Since June Of 1893 the county col
lects the dog tax, and pays for the damage
done by dogs, but the claims for damages
must be made promptly.
Miles Queery, Of Cass township, Blair
county, notified the township justice in
April Of the present year that he had some
sheep killed by dogs in June 1893. The
auditors assessed the damages at $2l which
the county commissioners refused to pay,
alleging that Mr.. Queery should have
promptly notified the justice Of his loss,
instead Of waiting ten months.
The court was then asked for q manda.
mus 10 compel payment Of the damages,
but Judge Bell, Of Blair Co. before whom
the case was tried, refused the mandamus
on the ground that where statute does
not limit the time for thing TO be done in
II must be done within reasonable time,
and that the spirit OF the sheep law in 1893
required prompt notice Of injury to sheep
by dogs 10 enable the owner TO recover
damages.
