 Hertle sought to enjoin the defendants and compel them to remove the carcass of the dog after learning that it had been inferred on plot adjoining his family lot in the city of the dead.
 The opinion of the court by Judge Baker holds that it would be possible for a owner of lot to bury horse or d donkey If he or she was so disposed.
 The court held that Hertle was entitled to an injunction against the cemetery company and the owner of the lot in which the dog was buried.

Herman Doubts Story.

Cincinnati, December 1S.-Doubt as to the accuracy of the report that the Amer ican association had decided to place a ball club in Chicago was expressed by Chairman August Herman of the Na- tional Baseball commission today.
 ''The American association will not be allowed to enter Chicago declared Herr man, unless the National and Ameri- can leagues give theii consent.
 T do not care to discuss these re- ports from Chicago until there has been some official report of the alleged in- vasion brought to my motive. I had a talk with President Bryce of the Co., lumbus club and others in the east last week, and they assured me that there was nothing in these yarns. The Amer ican league has gone on record as op- posing the admission of the American as sociation to Chicago and I am sure the National league also will. If the Ameri- can association has any grievance, I feel that they would come to us with it rather than take the arbitrary action with which they are credited The en- tire story looks to me like a piece of imagination without foundation of fact"
