In
A Complicated Case.

A search warrant was issued against
q. j. Harrington, Of Fig street, who
was charged by John Boettcher with
the larceny of Newfoundland dog
The case, which was tried by Alder
man Lentes, proved of IL puzzling ma
ture, and for a time it was hard ia
prove who owned the animal or who, II
anybody, had stolen it. The dog was
found in Harrington's possession, but
he proved to have purchased the ami
NAL from Thomas Hen,singer, of Dun
more, for $l.50. He, in turn, showed
that he bought the dog from John
Golden for forty cents.
Golden was then arrested. and swore
the dog had been around his place for
some time and he could not chase him
awav.
After hearing the various and con-
flicting statements, the alderman dis
charged Hunsinger, who agreed to pay
all costs and refund the $3.50. Golden
was held in $500 bail to appear at the
next quarter sessions.
