of owners of dogs, that, the require
ment of the rule promulgated by the
board of health is, all dogs shall be con-
fined on the premises of the owners of
said dogs. Dogs led around by strings
or carried in arms does not comply with
the law and others who obeyed the no.
tice for time and then became lax in
their supervision and allowed their pets
to run at large are in great danger of
being called upon by the propee officers.
A fine of twenty dollars per day
would be quite burdensome to some
who own dogs. We do not like to see
our neighbors mulcted in heavy fines,
hence we write as we do.

-FOUR THOUSAND TO MRS. sToETzEL

Accident Insurance Company Settles
for the Attorneys Death.
Tho widow of l. l.. Stoetzel, the Extra at
tornoy who took an overdose of laudanum at
the Grand hotel in this city about year ago,
has effected a compromise with the accident
insurance company in which her late hus-
band held policy for $4,000. BY the COM
promise Mrs. Stoetzel receives $4,000.
The case at the time attracted more than
ordinary attention, owing to the peculiar cir
cumstances surrounding it. One afternoon
StoetZel was found unconscious In his room
from the effects of an overdose OF laudanum,
evidently taken to alleviate pain. The ply
sician who was summoned gave it as his
opinion that the man was beyond earthly aid
and no steps were taken to attempt to re-
suscitato him. The undertaken was notified
and so were the mans relatives at Extra.
AT 4 o'clock the next morning Stoetzel was
found by local newspaper reporter and one
of the clerks of the hotel to be still breathing
and they sent for another physician. The
result was That Stoetzel, after several hours
hard work. was brought back to partial con-
sciousness and he lived for two weeks after.
1t developed that the night before he took
the drug he had received a bad fall in alight-
ing from car in front of the hotel and had
injured his head. This caused paralysis of
the right side and formed blood clot on the
brain. The physicians who attended him,
both at the hotel and at the hospital where
an operation was performed, gave it as their
opinion that his death was caused by the in
jury from the fall and not from the drug
AS the doctors were unanimous in this opin-
ion the insurance company agreed to com
promise and pay over the sum named above
10 the widow.
