ONlY A ''YAllER" DOG
CauSes Big Jaw Suit, Several Mlstriaas and Piles Up Costs Against Green
 County Farmers.

Paragould, Oct. 10.- very costly controversy about a yellow dog has come to an end here by the parties compromising the suit. Some time ago J. N. Cobb, a prominent farmer of this county, lost a common yellow dog. Recently he found in the possession of James w. Williams, another substantial citizen of this county, a dog which he sWears is his own lost cur. Williams swears he raised the dog claimed by Cobb, and refuses to give him up. Williams brought replevin proceedings for the dog, and re- tained two of the best lawyers at the Green county bar to rep resent him. Cobb employed two able counselors, and together they summoned GA witnesses in the case. Two trials resulted in hung juries, and one or more con- tinuances run the costs up to about $500. After a long trial here Saturday, which resulted in another jury failing to agree, and standing about evenly divid- ed, the parties and their learned counsel got together and the matter was settled.
 A yellow dog was introduced in court as the one with two own CTS, but it is now currently re- ported and believed that the real yellow dog in controversy is at Marmaduke, in another part of the county, and that the whole trouble grew out of mistaken identity.

The company had al ready paid S10, 400, there was $2O0 still due, and the judgment of 5000 today makes a total of S19, 900 which it has cost the Hartford insurance company in penalties for fighting the anti truSt act.
