a Judgment in Justice court against
a. c. Newman, and again in the cir
cult court for the sum of Sl2. FOR the
killing OF "A dog. The case was APP
pealed TO the Supreme court and IL
was affirmed. Hence dogs are
property. The case possessed one
amusing feature. In the declaration
filed in the case the dog was described
as beagle hound dog" while the
plaintiff testified that IL was cross
between beagle and common
hound. The defendant admitted kill
ing the dog. but claimed that plaintiff
could not recover because the hound
was improperly described In the decla.
ration. The question of whether the
dog was property was left TO the jury
and decided by Il. The court holds
that the appeal In the case was not
veXatious.

Wife Desertion.

Houghton county is taking more In
terest. perhaps. than any other local
ity In the state in the bill before the
Legislature To make wife desortion a
felony. Houghton county has more
cases of wife desertion in proportion
to population than any other county
In the state. and would welcome the
enactment OF the bill into a law. At
present all that can be done with wife
deserters Is to send them To the
county jail for a few months. which
is not only slight punishment for the
offender. but an additional burden
upon the taxpayers.

A LULL IN THE FIGHT.
Bulgarian RevoIutionists Are
Only Waiting for Spring.

Salonica. Macedonia. Oct. 22.-Recent
advices from Monastir say that con-
siderable number of Insurgents have
surrendered in response TO the sultan
last call. The first of these who sur
rendered were beaten and imprisoned,
but under stringent orders from the
Yildiz palace all the men who are now
coming in are well received and have
been pardoned. This, however. does not
indicate the collapse of the rebellion but
is in confornance with the revolution
airy committees decision to thin out the
insurgent bands during the winter and
retain under arms only an aggregate of
about $500 men.
The insurgents who are coming in are
men of inferior physique who could not
stand a winter campaign. They cave
their rifles with the leaders who secrete
them in the mountain, in readiness for
operations in the spring Not one of
the leaders has surrendered.
The revolutionary committee has no
intention of resorting to the use of dyl-
amite bombs in the towns this winter,
but it declares that if the powers do not
succeed in causing the establishment of
a satisfactory form of government by
the spring every available man will be
called out and every desperate method
for gaining the ends of the revolution
lists will be resorted to.
The Turks report that both Chakala-
rolf and Sarafoff. the tnsurgent leaders,
were killed recently in the village OF
Boff in the F'lorina district. Inc Bui-
garians assert that Sarafoff is on his
way to Bulgaria.
The Rev. Henry Haskell, the Aneri-
can missionary. has arrived Al Monastir
to help in the relief work inaugurated
by the Rev. NJ. Bond.
