Nevsboy Owns Five Dogs.

Richard Bell, a colored newsboy with a
bundle of papers under his arm, was be-
fore Judge Taylor this morning to explain
why he had not provided tags for four
dogs. Policeman Raedy informed the court
that Bell lives near 18th and l. streets, and
has female companion there who is not
his wife. He also has five dogs and has a
tag for only one of them. These dogs, the
officer complained. have been in the habit
of barking and biting at bicycle riders and
pedestrians.
step around to the stand" said Prose-
cutting Attorney Muilowny to Bell, land tell
the judge why you are trying to get in the
poorhouse by supporting five dogs
I've got my dog Brownie and Ave tiny
pups Bell told, judge, "and they ain t
old enough for tags"
The court heard evidence concerning the
size of the animals, and concluded the
owner would have to get tags, get rid of
the dogs or pay the fines.
What do youi intend to do?" Mr.. Null
lowny asked Bell. I
I'm going to do just what the judge tells
me to do.' was his answer.
IT think a person who sells papers and
has a woman mot his wife to support
should get rid of the dogs the Judge told
him.
Bell promised to comply and the court
took his personal bonds.
