THE LAW AND THE DOG.
Two Interesting Decisions OF Cues
tiOns In Massachusetts Courts.
Boston Evening Transcript.

Boston Evening Transcript.
If one interferes with two dogs that are
fighting and is bitten by one of them he
cannot recover damages unless he shows
that he was in the exercise Of due care
The full bench Of the Supreme Court to-
day, so held in the case of Artemus Hodg-
son against Charles II. Hodgson and VIII
liam T. Tapley.
The three parties live in Dedham- The
plaintiff was out riding accompanied by
his two dogs. shepherd dog owned by
the defendant followed the carriage and got
into fight with one OF the plaintiffs dogs
He went up to the dogs and seized the de-
PENDANTS dog, when il turned on him and
bit his hand. The suit was brought under
public statutes, Chapter 102 Section g. and
the plaintiff claimed that he was not obliged
ercise Of due care. The court holds that he
was and says: In the case at bar the
plaintiff voluntarily submitted himself to
danger and we have no doubt that the rul-
ing OF the court below was right.
Another dog-bite case TO call forth an ex-
Boulester. of Rockville, against Charles w.
Parsons of Walpole. The bite in this case
was inflicted upon a horse. which died in
consequence and the plaintiff sued for his
loss The plaintiffs brother was driving an
express wagon. drawn by pair OF horses,
along a country road: and in the rear Of
a single wagon. The defendants dog ran
out OF his masters yard and bit the horse
attached to the single vehicle.
The defendant conteEded IL was negli-
gence on the part OF the plaintiff 10 lead
a horse harnessed in wagon behind as
was this one. and thereupon the plaintiff
requested the court to instruct the jury In
substance as follows: "A man has a right
to lead q horse In the way and manner
described and the mere fact that he was
so leading a horse Is not such evidence OF
from recovering In this action for the bite
OF the dog" The Judge at the trial refused
SO u rule, and submitted the question to
the fury whether the method OF travelling
adopted was negligent and was such as to
induce an attack by the dog. The Jury
found for the defendant. and 70 the refusal

eagles Nest, at the Park.

Eagles Nest" the sensational drama
that will be presented at the Park Theater
tomorrow afternoon and during the entire
week. was first brought into prominence
by Edwin Arden, who played it several
times in this city and always with success.
While the play is sensational it is not one
OF the blood and thunder productions so
OFTEN seen nowadays, but, on the contrary
mas many strong dramatic situations that
are not oVerdone, and a comedy element
tnat is entertaining. The scenes are for the
most part, laid in the far West and an
eXceIlent opportunity is given for the dis
play OF scenery and unusual stage effects.
The company that comes to the Park was
selected especially for it's fitness TO play
thls drama, and with all of the original ac-
cessorles should give a satisfactory per
tormance OF the piece. w. j. Lonerga1 a

Of the court to rule as above the plaintiff

of the court to rule as above the plaintiff
excepted
The full court sustains the plaintiffs ex-
ceptiOns and says: I'VE are OF ori;lion that
the ruling requested should have been given
in substance While the doctrine of con-
tributing negligence has been often said TO
apply to an action on the public statutes.
Chapter 102 Section 90. and have
doubt II does apply where the plaintiff in
cites or provokes a dog, and II may be in
other cases, the doctrine has applica-
ton to the case at bar. The leading OF
horse behind a wagon was simply a condi-
ton and not in any sense a contributing
clause of the injury To hold that
the question whether leading a horse be-
hind wagon should be submitted to the
jury as evidence of negligence on the part
of the plaintiff in inducing an attack by
dog, would render IL necessary TO submit
to the Jury the question whether the color
of the horse or OF the wagon, or OF the
clothes of the driver might not have induced
an attack. The law does not pay this re-
spect TO the characteristics or prsjudices
of dogs"

The screaming Habit.

80 two persons hear exactly alike.
The human internal ear Is best de.
scribed by likening it to grand piano.
That instrument has a key for every
note; the human ear has a nerve fila
ment for every tone and its variations.
Did | say for every tone: That Is a
mistake. Some pianos nave seven oc-
taves, some have eight; some have bet
ter tone in one portion of the keyboard
than in another. Exactly so with the
human ear. Some persons hear acute
ly; they catch sounds that to others are
but silence. Some tones strike the ear
drum, lat are not conveyed to the
brain because their corresponding
nerve filament is missing. We know
of defective hearing. but we do not ap-
ply our knowledge to our reasoning
when we are stating our opinions or i'm
pressions. To some a high note Is a
positive pain, and to such ears soar-
ing soprano viii do nothing but shrek.
Others will detest the lower tones. An
imals are moved out of their wonted
calm by the sound of certain notes.
1t should he our endeavor to cultivate
tones of softnes and sweetness. low
tone is the voice of comfort and conso-
lation. of deepest, most sacred emotion.
Our society women should do all they
can to counterac. the screaming habit

His Escspe and Return After He Had Been

judge a. J. Plowman Cf Deadwood,

in which he carried that celebrited
case to the United States supreme court

cause which prompted the famous In

walking in the corridor of the Jail one
day when a half breed told him that

crime and that the supreme court would
not interfere. This caused Crow Dog
some uneasiuess. He vas quick to act.
he watched his opportunity TO escape

the reputation of being a man with a
heart of marble, deliberately struck out
on foot over goo miles of country TO

why he made the trip and returned so
soon. he replied that he did not want &c

Events proved that he spent enc day
at his tepee bidding his family what he
regarded as last farewell, and then,
with wave of his dusky hand, he
