Owners Liable for Vicious Dogs.

Owners of vicious dogs must watch
their animals and see that the public
is protected, otherwise they may have
to pay damages as the result of per-
sonal injury suits. The supreme court
has ruled in the case of William Rowe
against Charles Ehrmantraut that if
an owner has knowledge of one at
tempt by his dog upon person, that
is sufficient to make the owner liable.
The syllabus follows:
William Rowe, respondent VS. Charles
Ehrmantraut appellant:
First-In an action for the recovery
of damages for injuries occasioned by
a bite from a dog, the question before
the court being whether he was of
vicious temper. It was not error to
admit evidence of the animals propens-
sity to attack other dogs.
Second-The evidence was sufficient
to support the holding that the dog
was of vicious disposition.
Third-It the owner has seen or
heard enough to convince man of Or
binary prudence of the animals incli-
nation to bite people, or if he has
knowledge of one attempt upon a per-
son it is sufficient to make the owner
liable.
Held-The evidence was sufficient to
support holding that the owner had
notice.
Order affirmed. Lewis J.
This should be warning to those who
insist upon harboring vicious dogs
that they cannot jeopardize the safety
of people with impunity, but the law
should go farther and make those who
keep "cross dogs" criminally liable as
most of those who own and keep them
are irresponsible and own nothing that
is exempt from a process at law. It is
serious question if good citizen
will keep vicious dog about. his pre-
misses, as he is menace to everybody
even his master not being exempt from
his paroxysms of rage.

TIE statement that an agent of one
eatside supply, house has sold goods
amounting to seven thousand dollars
in Austin and five other cities in
Minnesota during the: past year is
alarming to local interests. There is
40 doubt that hundreds of dollars are
sent every week from this city to
foreign supply houses and these orders
mean so much less business for local
merchants. The. condition is alarm
ing and the proper remedy should be
sought out and applied. We suspect
that more extensive and general adver.
tising on the part of local dealers in
every town would do much to coun
teract the present tendency to buy
goods away from home.

By Gilbert X Clay.
 New Orleans, April 2S.-Cotton was swayed alternately by a bearish con struction of the visible supply statement on one hand and continued reports of gocd business in Manchester, sup lement- ed by additional complains of necessity for replanting on the other. The attitude of Liverpool bordered on neutrality.
