Every man in National Park is said to
own at least one dog. So when one citizen
starts out to kill his neighbours best four
footed friend, he must be sure his own is
safe. Game Warden Avis has been drag
ged into the National Park dog war, and
excitement is great. A lot of cases, tried
the past week, has been appealed to court,
and one tried Saturday resulted in a victory
for the defendant, Thos. Platt. Plat appear
ed before Justice Merchant with dog in
his arms, and the Warden's spy swore that
was the dog he had seen chasing rabbits.
The Justice considered that clear case, and
was about to impose the fine Of $40 and $6
costs, when Platt said he had witness or
two in defense. By these witnesses Platt
proved it was not his dog, but one borrowed
for court purp ses from Hessian avenue
friend, hence the Justice and Warden lost
the twenty=six plunks that seemed within
their grasp. Justice Merchant is getting a
lot of legal experience from National Park.
