true that it is not an uncommon thing
to see bob-tailed bulldog. but it is utl-
common TO see bull puppy born with
no semblance whatever TO a tail. Such
is the case with three of this interesting
family, and neither of the three has
even as much as a sprout. On the other
hand two of the dogs have very 1espec-
table tails Whether this incident is just
an ordinary circumstance or not Is hard
to tell. Dog men With whom Mr.. Seely
has talked say they never, in all their
experience. saw a like case. The puppies

County Attorney Stone, in reference
to the agreement of settlement of the

that so far as his authority and influ-
ience can go this settlement will not be
considered as a precedent, and there
fore those whose estates are being
looked into, as well as others, should
not obtain that impression.
MR. Stone gives, as Il reason fvi this
position. that none of the other cases
under Investigation are atsall similar to
the Boardmaa matter. because of the
peculiar conditions surrounding the va
rous transfers of Mr.. Boardman's
estate. MIR. Boardman, before his de-
mise had disposed of his property, IT
had passed through the hands Of sew
eral trustees and later into the posses
sion of Mrs. Conover, a nonresident of
the state The red tape necessary TO
get at the property was the reason why
