the facts in the Cabell case, showing
that all Huntington had ever prom

that Cabell county did use the same

People in Last Nights Christian Pro
cession Tell of Annoyance
Other Instances.

A number of people have complain
| ed to The Argus today of the interior
| ence with last nights great Christian
parade, by electric cars while the pro-
cession was moving down Second av-
enue. The clang of gongs, they say,
not only interrupted the singing, but
the cars themselves proved an annoy
ance The city has on one or two Oc-
casions taken steps to prevent cars
marring parades of any kind, particu-
larly those of sacred nature, but the
rule seems to be UNDECIDED The city's
order has always been that the cars
stop while all professions are moving.
Repeatedly the Labor day parade has
been so disturbed. and there have been
complaints, too. in the cases of fun
erals. where the route to or from the
church has heen through the principal
streets.
The street cars are an important
part of the conyeniences of a city, and
delay often proves provoking to pass
engers, to say nothing of throwing the
entire schedule of transportation oper-
alton out, but there are times when
the people on the streets have rights
to be respected.

CRAZY DOG MAKES STIR

Bull Pup Acting Strangely Frightens
Number of Peopfe-Is~ Killed by
Deputy Sheriff.

half grown bull dog caused con-
siderable excitement on Third avenue
and Fifteenth street and in the court
house corridors yesterday afternoon.
The dog evidently was crazy and
some thought it case of rabies. The
first to become frightened was a lady
with baby, just in front of the Wood
man head Office. Snatching the baby
from its carriage, the woman ran into
the building. The conductor of a bridge
line car then took hand in the affair,
and with the baby buggy as a guard,
he forced the dog under the car. The
motorman. who was watching this
move, quickly started the car. but in
some unaccountable way the dog es-
capped from under the wheels. and ran
velpine across the court house grounds
and into ne county building corridor.
1t was driven out, but ran around the
building to the south entrance. and en-
tered the sheriff's Office. The depu-
ties drove the animal out, and ended
