NRw CASTLE, Jan. II There we're two i
interesting cases before New Castles /
local tribunals--M Mayor Herbert and
Magistrate Janvier-last evening, all
over dog, but In one case there were |
such mitigating circumstances that Mag. |
istrate Janvier reserved bis decision.
Mr and Mrs. John A. Schnhardt had |
shepherd dog which they valued as |
highly as q horse or other property OF |
intrinsic worth. When the Newark /
maddog ran through New Castle recently,
be continued out to the Buttonwoods =
growing suburb Of this city. aud there
bit dogs belonging TO Peter Schrote,
Allison Truitt aud Mr.. Schuhardt, al Of
whom ara neighbors and have heretofore
been friends
On Monday night, after all the dogs
except Mr.. Schuhardts had been slain,
James q. Truitt, employed by Peter
Schrote, saw the Schuhardt dog APP
preaching Schrote's residence and was
instructed to kill the dog, Mrs. Schrote
being afraid to leave the house.
Truitt's craftsmanship WAS bowling
failure and his shot only turned the dog
into bowling heap He seized a club TO
finish the job but Mr. and Mrs. Schuhardt
had heard and suspected and she rushed
up to the Schrote house and dared Truitt
TO strike another blow. Then Truitt
says she threatened to get revolver and
blow out his brains, chasing him below
~ he .rtfa1lN hfllfno
Upon this threat Mayor Herbert bound
Mrs Sohuhardt in 5000 bail for court
On the countersuit brought by Mrs
Schuhardt charging James e. Truitt
with. cruelty killing registered dog in
violation OF two laws Of Delaware.
Magistrate Janvier reserved his
decision until he can confer with
President Porter of the s. P. G. A.
Truitt produced evidence that he bad
been instructed to kill the dog because
1t had been bitten by an animal with the
rabies. and OF which the whole neigh
borhood stood la fear. In view OF the
mayors orders to kill all unmuzzled
dogs after December 10, it Is believed
that Mrs Schuhardt has no case.
