MADE THE INSPECTOR MAD.

License Inspector !. NJ. Ezell says
that II the city doesn't do some
thing to enforce the payment of the
dog tax, the town will soon be over
run. When dogs were taken up and
killed, there was considerable activity
among dog owners, but the practice
was so cruel that the public disap-
proved Of it, and it was stopped. No
warrants have been issued against de-
linquent owners, and at present the
dog owner does not have to pay license
unless he rants to, and he keeps his
dog Just the same.
What made License Inspector Ezell
mad, however, was hts experience the
other night when he took n trip out 10
Little's Addition TO attend the revival
being conducted by his old friend,
Rev. Cap Owen. The services were
quite impressive, but before Inspector
Ezell and his wife had heen there half
an hour there had been by actual
count thirty dog fights on the outside.
As soon IS one would end another
would begin, and after a while
the inspector got tired keeping count,
and swore when he got home he
would try and think mp some plan Of
thinning out the dogs. IL appears they
infest the suburbs in great numbers,
and their favorite pastime is fighting.
License Inspector Ezell's motion to
eliminate the dogs from religious sec-
tion will be seconded by a great many
people OF the outskirts who are
troubled with dog fights.

Bowling Green, KY, August 49,
John NJ. Gerard, n of the wealth

this city, has been adjudged to be of
unsound mind. He was sent to the
Western Lunatic asylum at Hopkins
Vile. His family attempted to induce
him to go to a sa~nitarium at Cinoin-

sent to the public institution. Mr..
Gerard is a son Of Mr.. Frank O.

He married a prominent and wealthy
Danville woman, and the entire COM

The young man is q member Of one
Of the Oldest undertaking firms in the

80 funerals in 81 days. It is believed
a few weeks confinement and relief
from the strain of business will restore
him to his normal mental condition.

Col. Tom Lawson Of Boston, for
merly mayor of Grand Rivers AND the
author of Grand Rivers first boom, is
having considerable trouble now over
his late book on the American Cup
and the yacht races run for 1t.
Some time ago Col. Lawson built a
5000, 900 yacht to enter the contest for
the American cup defender, but the
New York Yacht club in some manner
prevented his entering the competi-
ton, which started a controversy.
Dol. Lawson has in his own style
written the story and published it in
book fora, and it appears the New
York Yacht club is not pleased with it
and has sued him for libel, but no de-
tails are given.
Gel. Lawson, who is in Chicago,
was informed Of the suit. but said
until he saw the papers he would have
nothing to say, but that he certainly
would fight it. He is n of the best
known millionaires and sportsmen in
the East, and it was recently reported
