CASES IN

the nelghbors simply pranced about
their rooms for they couldn't sleel
and then they went to the city hall
where they secured the law and
Adams to the court did haul. This
morning it was case of where, oh
where are the foxhounds gone, oh
where oh where could they be.
Eighteen witnesses for the State
and fer Adams twentythree. Gar
rett defended the neighbors and a
nuisance the barking did call.
Adams said his dogs were good and
so did j. Frank Ball. The women
came by the dozen, they talked in a
musical strain and the tales of dogs
were told in a rather neighborly
strain.
When the case was called Mr..
Garrett asked to amend the informa-
ton.
Mr.. Ball then asked that the case
be dismissed as it was quite a differ
ent case. Permission was granted
to withdraw the information and
therefore there was nothing before
the court.
The court dismissed the charge
and he was then charged with hay
ing between January l and April
10, 1902, allowed dogs on his prem
ises, No. sos East Eleventh street,
by barking and bowling to the an
noyance of John Wolf.
Mr.. Ball asked that the informa-
tion be quashed as it was brought
in the name of the Deputy City So
licitor and not by the City Solicitor.
The court overruled the motion.
James L. Leech, was the first wit
ness called by the State. He testified
that he owns the property, No. sos,
East Eleventh street, Mr.. Ball OBJ
jected to the testimony as to when he
rented the property. lie claimed that
the inform alton did not show that it
was for the well being of the city Of
Wilmington. The court overhauled
the objection. 10 Mr. Garrett l rent
the property to John L. Adams. He
occ upies the stable.
John Wolf testified lie resides at
No. 1888 Pine street. within stones
throw Of Adam S stable. Adams Lad
dogs at the stable and they howled
and barked at night lie made no
complaint, They woke him up at
night. 10 Mr.. Ball, he was in bed
but did not get up to see where the
noise came from. He heard the dogs
howl four or five times in four
months. He never saw the dogs On

the noise came from Mr.. Adams
place on East Eleventh street,
Mrs. Wintrup testified that she
resides at No. 1913 Lombard street.
She can see the yard and stable from
her back door,. She has heard the
dogs howl so loud at night that the
people could not sleep. She looked
out one night and the sound came
from the Adams yard. This was be-
fore Christmas.
There is only one dog in the neigh
borhood and it has not sense enough
to bark. She has no use for dogs.
A dog that would howl in her opinion
is a nuisance.
Emil G. Oelrich, of No. 5O7 Sher-
man street testified that his yarc
joins the yard Of Adams stable.

dogs howl and bark. 1t was he who
got up the petition after having an

dogs.
