DOGS MUST BE REGISTERED.

Convinces Dog Owners That She

If the owners of unregistered CANNES in

Qog enumerator is a dog catcher, but this
Is a big mistake. The office of dog enum-
orator is just as dignified as there is in the
municipal government. The law creating
the office of city dog enumerator also does
away with dog catchers. Under the new
law PEOPLE who own dogs and fail to reg
ister them become lawbreakerS and are
subject to a fine in police court.
1t Is the duty of the city dog enumerator
to cause the arrest of all people who do
not take out licenses for their dogs after
Mrs. Richart has started out well. She
had six citizens in police court yesterday
morning for failing to comply with the
ordinance and it is understood that many
more arrests will follow. The persons who
were arraigned before Police Judge Nam
ming yesterday morning on the charge OF
harboring dogs without a city license were:
Mrs. Sophia Kotovitch, Lizzie Smith, Rosa
Laughlin. Katie Mathews, SIEVE Hentz and
Albert Cichner All but the last named
defendant promised the judge that they
would take out licenses before leaving he
city hall and were released. Cichner would
not promise to comply with the city law and
g fine Of 81 was imposed. He paid the
only 81 and then he would nave had a IL

raid made on the supposed gambling house
at 52 Minnesota avenue a few nights ago
took place before Judge Manning in the
police court yesterday morning. Attorney
J; A. Hale appeared in behalf Of the gam

proof to convict them on a charge of gam

The police introduced in evidence, or
rather they secured in the raid. various
gambling devices. but they were not in
operation when the officers entered the
case of gambling against the defendants.
Judge Manning held that the evidence went
to show that a gambling house was being

$50 each on the five men. He stated that
