knowledge of his responsibility for the
situation, it was on his account that some
fifteen or twenty witnesses were there
to decide who he belonged to.
The dog, a black spaniel. a cross be-
tween a spaniel and black and tan, has
been in the possession of DIR. w. A. Cook
for some years, it is said, and so it seems
to have been decided by the court at the
conclusion of the trial
Nevertheless H. O. Strickland set up
claim for the dog and took out a posses

Cook with taking possession of an animal
that did not belong to him. Ii seems the

snapped at him and bit him ia the hand

As degrees, and the weather conditions

They were so yesterday morning there
being but very little wind, a clear slxv and
a dry atmosphere.
The country is always more likely to get
frost than cities. This is due to the smolki-
ness of the cities and to the fact that the
buildings radiate the heat taken up during
the day, but slowly in comparison with
the rapid manner in which the vegetation
in the country gives it off. There Is usual
~ a difference of several degrees in the
temperature of the country and the city
