LAW COURT DECISION.

Wednesday-Th following rescript
has been received:
Knox SIS
Sanford A. chapman VS.. Charles Fl.
Decrow.
Rrscript. Strout. J. Chapter 2S1 Of
the laws Of 1892, which requires owners
of dogs to have them registered and
licensed annually does not destroy
property in unlicensed dogs. nor take
away the right of action for killing
such dog by an Unauthorized person.
Tho statute directs the municipal Of
li,ers If Il town. within 10 days after
May |. of each year. to issue their war
rant to a constable to destroy dogs not
licensed as the statute requieS. With
a single exception no person other than
such officer is justified in killing them.
That exception is under L. :. g. 80. ;.
>. which provides that amy person
may lawfully kill n dog that suddenly
assaults him or another person when
paaceably walking or riding, or is
found worrying wounding or killing
any domestic animal outside the en-
closure or immediate care of his own
er" To justify killing in such case,
the dog must be engaged in the act Of
attacking or worrying at the time. 1t
is not sufficient that he had previous
IL done 50. or that the party had rea-
sonablc cause to believe that it was
necessary to Kill the dog to prevent
him from assaulting the person, on
Worrying the animals.
If the dog is engaged in asSaultine
the person or worrying the animals
at the time. the killing is JUSTIFIED
whether the dog was licensed or not.
The refusal to instruct and the in
structions given which are excepted TO
were in harmony with these principles
and We're correct.
Exceptions overruled.

FOREFATHER'S DAY.
First Unitarian Society in America Celebrates
by Defeating New Church.

Plymouth, Mass. Dec. 2I-The mem
bers of the First Unitarian church OF
this town, which was organized i'm
mediately after the landing of the Pill
grims here on Dec. 81, 1920, celebrated
Forefathers' day, today, by defeating
an elegant new structure which is to
be the future home Cf the society.
The members of this ancient parish
are the legitimate successor through
an unbroken church organization and n
continuous ministry Of the little band
OF Separatists who met in the Manor
House at Scrooby in the first years of
the 1.-THE century. The history Of this
church is, in fact. the history of the
Pilgrim Fathers.
The building replaces one which was
burned in 1892 and is intended as a
memorial Of the Pilgrim Fathers and
the original founders Of the society, as
is indicated by a handsome bronze tab
Let near the entrance.
The programme included a chorus.

The adjutant general will probably
have the land of John Fuller situated
west of the state Muster grounds. The
Journal spoke briefly Of the matter.
Thursday. bat possibly n more extend
ga explanation may be appreciated by
any one interested.
When the State Muster grounds We're
laid out the cook houses and the sinks
We're placed at the extreme western
end that there might be room enough
for the parade ground. Even now with
two regiments, there is not room
enough to properly maneuver them.
Accordingly the sinks were set on the
very western extremity of the field and
the cook houses not more than 80 feet
east of them. This makes a bad condi-
ton of affairs and the typhoid fever of
1898 in the batteries is said to have been
caused largely by this fault. The SEN
try in pacing back and forth on the
back Of the sinks has to walk on the
land of John Fuller and n claim for
damages is brought in each year on this
account.
After the soldiers had left camp. last
year. the adjutant general commune
Gated with the war department con-
corning the condition of the sinks as
left by their forces and asked for an
inspecting officer. This officer was as
signed by the secretary of war and h"
made his examination. deciding that
the sanitary conditions were not proper
and that the volunteers had been the
cause Of it.
Later another inspecting officer con-
demned the sinks and ordered them
burned. This will be done by the
United States. who will have To replace
them 1t Is desired to burn them where
they stand. as it will b. more efficient
in killing the germs. hut row OF APP
pie trees standing on Fuller's land
might come in for good amount OF
damages. and the burning has been
postponed until the matter Of the pur-
chase of additional land is settled.
Ii is proposed to purchase certain
section Of Mr. Fullcrs farm 50 that
the sinks and stables can be set back
about $50 feet. leaving a proper dis
lance back of the cook houses. by
purchasing this strip of about 10 acres
II will include spring Of water where
pumps could be placed and the state
saved the expense of about $500 year
for water bills, as access would be
given to all the springs on the prop
erty
Mr. Fuller offers the 10 acres for
$780, a high price, as it would not be
agreeable for him to have the line OF
sinks near his house. He offers the
whole farm for $4,000 and many Of the
Council favor this rather than the for
mer, as they believe the price is toe
great Something will doubtless be
very soon done.

FAIRER- R-REYNOLDS MARRIAGE AT
ST. ANDREWS.
Church Filled With Friends of Con-
tracing Parties-Breakfast Later
Leave Tomorrow.

The marriage of Miss Bessie Rey-
nolds, daughter of Health Agent Rey-
nolds to Charles II. Fairer, manager
of Theo. II. Davies g. Co.'S Hilo branch
store, which took place in st. Andrew s
cathedral at 10 o'clock this morning
was one of the prettiest events of the
kind this season.
The church was filled to overflowing
with friends of the popular contract
ing parties. Mrs. Wray Taylor, Mrs.
st. c. b. Sayres, Miss Gere and others
had tastiy decorated the interior. The
colors were green and white, palms,
etc, forming the first and white flowers
the second. Mr.. Sayres and A. c.
Steele were the ushers.
Promptly at 10 o'clock, while Wray
Taylor played the wedding march, the
bridal party entered the church. The
bride leaned on the arm of her father
and the groom was attended by his
best man, George H. Angus.
Miss Mae Weir was bridesmaid. Be-
hind the party came the pages, Kath-
leen Taylor and Charlie Reynolds, the
former the little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wray Taylor and the latter the
brother of the bride.
The ceremony over, the happy COUP
repaired to the registry and signed it,.
Rev. Alex. Macintosh was officiating
clergyman.
From the church the bridal party
went to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sayres at Beretania and Punchbowl
streets, where a light breakfast was
served They expected to leave an
hour later by the Kinau for their home
in Hilo. 1t was there that the news
reached them of the accident to the
Kinau and the announcement that they
would not be able to leave until noon
tomorrow.
Naturally there was disappointment
at first, but the program was quickly
changed to conform to the circumstan-
ces.
A bountiful supply of old shoes and
rice, prepared for today, will keep,
and is in reserve for tomorrow.
