the coast Of South Brazil, and a mate,
Charles Brown, who has snotheT opinion
than the captain about the cause Of the
mishap 10 the ship. The mate IS not a
selsmologist like the captain. and he scorns
the idea that an earthquake could scoop up
the marvellous sea that almost overwhelmed
the Planet Neptune. Ills theory Is that
there are holes in the South Atlantic on
the coast Of Brazil and that they ought to
be filled up.
II was S;45 o'clock on the night OF Febru-

Mayor DRhIman.

The hearing Of the injunction case to
prevent the enforcement Of Mayor Dahl
mans proclamation requiring the muzzling

Three minutes after Dunn began his
argument a large black dog that had
wandered into the court house attracted
the attention OF some men IN the register
Of deeds Office by his frantic efforts to get
out OF the front door Dunn took the
position that dog is recognized by law as
different from a domestic animal and con-
sequently can be legislated against In any
way the authorities see ft He holds the
legislature has given the city council the
power to regulate the running at large OF
dogs and the city council has delegated
To the mayor the authority TO say when all
dogs shall be muzzled.
The hearing was on Dunns demurrer 10

against r. w. Fitch was up before Judge
Kennedy on a preliminary motion Satur-

statute the court should hear the case, re-.
gardless of the denial by the defendant.

court Saturday to appear against Lawrence

assault, he deprived Judge Crawford of

OF sailors whislSers adjoining the edge Of
his shriveled face walked up TO the bar
to answer to the complaint, and no accuser
put in an appearance, the judge sent him
away.
According to the story told by the aged
men they had been working at sorting
potatoes when Fhars accused Mulhnger of
throwing away some tubers which might do
for planting, and as they bent their crooked,
stifr bodies over the bins picking up one
potato after another they argued the mat
