Is THE DOG AN ANIMAL?
N1at is a Question Which the Su-
preme Court Must Soon Pass on

Little Rock, Nov. 28.--The Su-
preme Court must soon pass on
the question as to whether a dog
is an animal. This question is the
point at issue in tie case of the
state against Guy Seward. So
ward was fined $3.50 in the justice
OF the peace court of Garland
county some time ago on a charge
of malicious mischief. 1t was al
legged that he killed fox hound
belonging to G. f. Huff. Seward
appealed from the decision of the
justice of the peace court. alleg
Ing that dog is not an animal un1
der the meaning of section 1898,
under which Seward was convict
ed and fined. The Garland cir
cult court sustained the demurrer
of Seward, holding that a dog is
not an animal under the meaning
of section 1894 of Kirby's Digest,
under which Seward was convict
ed. The case is now in the SUI
preme court and the point of law
to be decided will be whether a
dog is an animal as animal is used

What He Did

The Reno Observer, asks what John
Mackay ever did for any public insti-
tuition in Nevada. Well he kept the
Sisters Hospital at Virginia running
for years His donations at times
amounted to several thousands a
month These donations were made
with the express stipulation that they
should not be made public. The writ
er knows what ne is stating for he
has seen the books. His donations
were always made quietly and with
no public display He paid the
grocery bills Of poor families for
years when these same families sup
posed they were merely getting long
credit at the grocers. Mackay SCI
tied the bills and told the groce s
to keep them supplied
sr.ceri bills paid IN this man
ner amounted 10 about five THOUSAND
dollars a month for years. Many Of
the families thus assisted never knew
who were standing behind their gro.
GERS accounts.
