n good, moist year is sign OF hard
winter, this will be a record-breaker.
Not in many years have nuts and wild
fruits been so abundant. The chestnuts,
probably the conimunest nut in this sec
ton, are giving promise of an abundant
yield. The bloom was heavy and the
burrs, now wellformed and quite ad-
vanced. bear out he predictions of the
| early season. Hickory nuts, walnuts, beech
| nuts, and chinquapins are doing nobly-
and il their abundance means cold weather
we viii have il in the superlative degree.
Early small wild fruits were poor, but
those which ripen late. such as persinimons,
plums, wild apples and haws are making
it up and doing nobiy.

1--WE will have that dog" said Attorney
Albright, who figured i'll the famous Ernst
GersteDbers case. to u Times reporter. ''The
court has no right to order the a ninial killed.
Under the act OF Congress it is specifically
stated that only upon the third convic-
ton of keeping a fierce and dangerous dog
NAV the killing order be issued. Now the
Commissioners come and make a police
regulation which says that the police court
Judge may order fierce and biting dog
killed at once. Fierce and biting and
fierce and dangerous are undoubtedly
syponomous in this case. The whole
question is whether the police regulation
supersedes the act of Congress.
..If we can obtain our writ OF habeas
CORPUS, certiorari or prohibition the case
will go to the Supreme Court. and then and
there, once for all, will be decided this
question as to the police regulation"
''They are not worth the paper they are
written on" added Lawyer Sillers, who
is associated with Mr.. Albright in the case.
"Besides, the dog is the personal prop
erty of Mr.. Gerstenberg. He cannot he
deprived oft according to the Constitution
of the United States without due process
of law. This can only be done in q civil
court while the police court is a criminal
court. repeat Mr.. Alhright's expression.
