WHILE JAMIEIs AWAY.

Jamie's gone to sea,
A-sailing in his ship:
He's taken my heart, but. oh. he left
His kisses on my lip
1 care for ma one now he's gone,
SO Tammie Nc ye may
Just talk back seat and behave
While Jamie is away.
His hair is like the autumn's glow
On fields of rip'ning rye.
The roseblush is on his cheek,
The sunlight's in his eye.
oh. he's the dearest OF the dear.
SO Tammie Me We may
Just TAX a back scat and behave
While jamie IS away.
And when my love comes back again
Asail!nS DER the sea,
With gold and silver and ,he pearls
Hes gathering there for me,
1 mind ye'll hear the wedding bells.
SO Tammie Me We may
Just talk n back seat and behave
While Jamie is away.

IN AN ACTION TO RECOVER FOR
INJURIES CAUSED BY A VICIOUS
DOG. PROOF OF IT'S FEROCIOUS
CHARACTER AND OF THE OWN
ER'S KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH
CHARACTER IS ESSENTIAL.
EVIDENCE OF ITS GENERAL RE-
PUTATlON AND OF ONE ACT OF
a SAVAGE NATURE IS ADMISSI-
BILE.
This was suit for injuries caused
plaintiffs son by the defendants dog.
The defendant kept Il store near Il
church at II crossroads. His dwelling
was near the store and he owned a
dog which was about his premises ha
bitually and which he had raised from
n puppy. The dog was a faithful watch
dog. One day the dog bit son of the
plaintiff. The lower court gave judg-
ment for plaintiff and defendant APP
pealed.
The Court says:
The authorities are all agreed that in
order to render the owner liable in dam
ages to any one bitten by his dog, it
must be proved. not only that the dog
is ferocious, but that his owner has
knowledge of his ferocious nature or
propensity. The gravamen of the action
is the neglect of the owner of an ami
nal known by him to be vicious and
liable to attack and injure people. to re-
strait him so as to prevent the risk OF
damage. And the notice of such pro-
pcnsity must DO such as to put Il pru-
dent man on his guard Proof of the
vicious character of the animal is quite
as essential in order TO sustain Il re-
coNcry as is proof of the scicnter. on
this last question evidence of IL gene
raj vicious reputation in the neighhor-
hood is admissible. not for the purpose
of establishing the fact of the dogs
dangerous propensity, but of the public
notoricty which this fact has obtained.
and as tending to support the inference
of the knowledge thereof on the part
of the owner. 1t is not true. as has often
been stated. that the law allows dog
his first bite" for IL the owner has
good reason To apprchend. from his
knowledge OF the nature and propensity
of the animal. that he has become cvillv
inclined. tho duty of care and restraint
attaches. 70 omit t. is negligence for
which an injured party may have the
rlcht OF action. The owner is not rX-
empt from this duty until the dog has
actually INDUCED in his propensity by
attacking ut least one person as the
above quoted saving indicates When
establishing the bad nature OF the dog.
II seems unnecessary to show that he
has frequently broken through the
tamcnoss of his nature Into acts Of ag-
erosion on man. Proof of ono instance
of departure from the ordinary habits
OF domcsticity and becoming of q saw
age nature seems ample The question
then is does the evidence. tested by
these rules. justify. the verdict? ITho
Court then rocitcs the evidence and
concludes that the vicious character of
the dog was not proved by it'll Re

THE SEWER IMPROVEMENT.
City Attorney Aber-T Newss Engage;
Running Levels Along the Route
3..t Selected for the Pipe.

The record of 1899 will soon BE
closed The City of Las Vegas shas
made gratifying advance along al
most every line of improvement.
A greater number of, new dwellings
and new store rooms have been
erected during this year, than during
any one year in'the history of the city.
The architecture, as well as the in5
terror arrangements and convenieneesl
are modern. Attention is being given
to heating, ventilating, lighting and
drainage of all dwellings constructed.
In the way of public improvements
it is mentioned with everlasting graf
l.itude to it's promoters, that the pub
lie sewer system for the city was com
menced this year. Without annoying
the taxpayer or ransacking other peo
pies pockeIs, certain large hearted
citizens have furnished the money
from their own pockets and will con-
struct $500 feet of sewer in that part
of the city where it is most needed.
Further extensions will be made as
required. ss ~
/ A public water supply and a public
sewerage ought to be constructed SIM
ultaneously, the one to distribute pure
water to the inhabitants, and the
other to collect and convey away the
foul and contaminated water, beyond
rabitations, where it can do no harm.
The outlet for the public sewer is
fixed at point in the arroyo just east

KILLED a MAN IN SELF DEFENSE
a FeGner Highly Respected Citizen
OF Las Vegas, Taxes a Mans
Life in self Defense.

Information has been received In
the city to the effect that ]. G. Rsytan,
who left here some six months'agp 20
take charge of the Fred Harvey house
located at Sapolka, Indian Territory,
recently shot and instantly killed a
guest by the name Of, Howard in a
quarrel that took place in the hotel
diniug room. The particulars ot the
affair, as near as can be learned, are
in substance as follows: Howard
had been very dfsagreeable around the
house, and particularly insulting to
mattresses. Complaints were made
TO Manager Peyton, who ordered
Howard to leave the house, where
upon Howard refused to go, making
plunge at Peyton, who Immediately
drew. revolver ana fred. sDick Low
ry~ received a telegram yesterday
from Peyton saying that the grand
jGfy had carefully examined all tho
Witnesses in the unfortunate affair
and failed to 5bringein even an indict-
fment against him thereby exonorating,
Mr.. .Peyton.
The Optic feels safe in saying that
while Mr.. Peyton's many friends and
acquaintances regret that he should
have been put under the painful me-
cessity of taking the mans life yet
they are glad to learn that he was not
to blame ins the !matter and inipelled
to the act only as a means of self
preservation. ~
Mr.. Peyton will be remembered
in this city as having run the Plaza
.hetel here about'two years ago. after
wards keeping books at the Headquar-
ters restaurant. Being man that
never uses liquor, always quiet and
peaceable it would, indeed, be difficult
for his friends here TO reafizefhow he
would commit an act of this nature,
save from dire necessity and as his
Ponly means of self preservation.

PURSUING
MINISTER'S
That Is What Generals Lawton
and YOUNG Are Now Sup
posed to be Doing
CAMPAIGN OF HARDSHIpS
Soldiers and Officers Almost
Naked from Pushing Their
Way Through Jungle.

Manila, Nov. 21-The whereabouts
OF Generals Lawton and Young is be-
coming as mysterious as Aguinaldo's.
The belief is beginning to grow at
Manila that General Lawton has
struck the trail of the insurgent gov
ernment" and is pursuing the minis
ters into the Binqua mountains. 1t
has been his ambition to capture the
Filipino leaders, and he and General
Young believe cavalry brigade liv-
ing on the country could run them
down to any part of the island. One
vague report brought in by Spanish
prisoners is that Aguinaldo and
others were nearly surrounded by the
Americans soon after the insurgent
chief left Tarlac but he escaped
through the lines in peasants clothes.
Cfflcers and soldiers arriving at Ca
batanuma from General Lawton's
force, describe the campaign as one
of great hardship. Many men drop
ping out sick were left at various
towns without adequate supplies and
attendance, some making their way
back across the terrible roads. Sol
diers and even some officers were
marching half naked, their clothes
having been torn to pieces in getting
through the jungles. All were liv-
ing on any sort of provisions. Gener-
al Lawton foresaw the campaign
would involve hardships but consid-
cred il the quickest and cheapest way
of ending the war
