A CASE OF LAW.
Basuto Decision Gives Reward to Bark
Ing Dogs Owner.

Law is complicated thing, and some
of its decisions seem not to be founded
in equity. Probably most readers will
pass that criticism upon the case re-
corded below. Basutoland, being brc-
ken and mountainous, was until rs-
Gently the resort of lions, leopards and
other wild animals Now, however, the
thillsides which were once the resort
of these savage creatures are the pas
ture-grounds of tens of thousands OF
cattle. Nearly all dangerous animals
have been driven away from Basuto-
land, but not long ago leopard APP
peared on the outskirts of village.
The animal soon became badly fright
ened as the villagers. and sought safe
ty in fight. The next morning the in
habitants turned out for a hunt. One
Of the hunters was climbing steep
rock when he suddenly found himself
face to face with the leopard, whose
retreat was cut off by the rock itself
Neither the animal nor the man could
escape the encounter The dilemma
was an awkward one, for the climber
was unarmed. Recognizing his danger,
he put forth his hands and in despera-
ton caught hold of the leopard on each
side of its jaws, holding it at arms
length and calling for help. The
leopard clawed and tore his captor,
! but the man held on till help arrived
and the beast was speared. Now came
a question of law By Basuto law the
skin belonged to the chief who must
] reward one of three claimants either
the man who speared the leopard, OF
the man who held it so that 1t was
possible to spear it, or the man who
being warned by the barking of his
dog, first discovered the animal in the
village. The Basuto Solomon decided
the case as follows: The man who
speared it could not have done SO bu
for the man who held it, and the mar
who held it could not have known Q
its existence if the dog had not frs
warned the village; therefore the cred
it for the killing belonged to the dog
whose owner was entitled to the re
: ward.

The commerce Of the great lakes in
ths navigation season of 1900 has ex-
ceeded that of any preceding year. The
report OF the treasury bureau of statis-
tics covering the business OF the prin-
cipal ports, combined with the reports
of the officer in charge of the Sault Ste.
Marie canal, for the year ending DC.
81, 1900. and comparing those figures
with those of preceding years, fully
jugtifies this assertion. The work OF
the bureau of statistics during the sea-
SON Of 1900 was the first attempt to
classify and study the movements in
the great articles from port to port
upon the great lakes, and while it was
not found practicable in this expert
mental year to include in this work
some Of the minor ports, or to obtain
data in all cases for the opening month
of the season, the figures may be ac-
cepted as presenting a fairly accurate
view OF the port TO port commerce OF
the articles, which form the bulk Of
the traffic on this great internal water
way.
According to the figures secured By
the bureau Of statistics there were re
| ceiYed by vessels at the thirty-seyer
4 principal ports on the great lakes be
tween April /, 1900, and the close q
the year a total OF l,266.234 tons q
-four. 52,S34 ,256 bushels of wheat, 70,
sos. 801 bushels of corn, 80 ,290767 bush
els OF oats, II ,526.50l bushels of barle.
and 1,S40,S92 bushels of rye Thes
figures relate purely TO the movement
between United States ports, and d
not, therefore, include the shipment
to or from ports on the Canadian sid
of the canals or through the Wellan
canal. The great bulk of the graf
traffic originated at Chicago and Du
luth and had Buffalo as its point {
