ASKS PUNISHMENT
OF DOG CATCHER
Mrs. H. S. EberIe Employs Special
Counsel to Represent Her in
Forthcoming Trial of
City Employees

What promises to be hard fought and
somewhat sensational trial will open in
Justice Austin's police court July 20,
when Isidore B. Dockweiler appears for
the prosecution in the case of Harry
Dye and Roy Severance, charged by Mrs.
H. S. Eberle with having committed bat
terry upon her on Seventh street one
week and half ago
The men were arraigned in the police
court yesterday and when Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Pearson appeared at the
bar for the people Dockweler was at his
elbow. He told the court that he was
going to attend to Mrs. Eberle's side of
the affair.
Mrs. Eberle, who is the wife of a prom
inent and well-to-do broker, says that
while she was walking down Seventh
street with her maid and little pet. dog,
the dog being about four inches long, the
dog catchers sneaked up and took the
animal away from her. That is, she
says, practically took it away from, her;
for she had just set it on the ground and
it was walking at her feet.
She rushed to the wagon in which they
had put her pet and tried to get 1t away
from the men. She alleges that they
used force and violence in showing her
away.
Later she recovered the dog from the
pound and obtained complaint from the
deputy district attorney. which was fol
lowed by the arrest of Dye and Sew
erance Mrs Eberle was angry at the
fresh" way in which she says they took
her dog. At first she wanted the attor-
ney to issue a highway robbery complaint;
but when he refused she was satisfied
with a battery charge.
All signs point to an exciting time
when the case comes to trial.

MANAGER BERRY FIRES
PARROT THAT SW0RE

There's a new parrot holding forth in
"The Serenade" at the Auditorium now,
and the profane bird which scattered the
chorus girls by his outlandish desire to
cuss Thursday night is in limbo. The new
bird was secured early yesterday, as early
as the God-fearing management of the
house. could get together and decide on
parrot already in stock, but humanitarian
views finally prevailed, and the discharge
of the green coated Thespian was decided
to be severe enough.
The new parrot is also green, but is
much larger than the other bird He is
guaranteed not to swear under any provo
cation. The chorus girls have accepted
the situation and have agreed that as a
parrot is absolutely necessary for the ac-
ton of the opera, a dumb one is far
preferable to one that profanes the atmos-
phere by unprintable eXpletives and scares
them out of their wits.

WHAT RIGHT HAS HE?
Does Mayor Rice Own the Sewer
District No. l or Not?

No permit shall be issued 10 MAKE
connections with any main or lateral
for the purpose of sewering any prop
erty which has not been specially
assessed, or is not legally liable to
special assessment for the cost OF
sewers and laterals. :,
Any person or persons who shall
violate any Of the provisions OF TINS
ordinance, or fail to comply with its
rules and regulations, shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and, upon
conviction thereof, shall be lined in
any sum not exceeding 800, and upon
nom payment OF such fine and costs,
NAV be committed till such fine and
costs are paid
The above sections Of the city or
dinances are for the protection Of the
people who have paid heavy taxes to
put in the sewers in this city. On
Monday Mayor Rice put a force Of
men to work digging a ditch from the
sewer lateral on Walnut down across
Second street to his new building out
side the district. What right has he
to do thatP
The plumber who is doing the work
says the city clerk gave him a permit
When City Clerk Graves, Rice's
i a A
nephew, was asked II be had a right
to do it, he seemed confused and said
he did not know whether the lots were
in the district or not. He said the
council had granted no permission to
attach to the sewer and there has
been no special assessment for the
lots.
1t would seem that city clerk who
understands his business would know
whether 3 lot was inside q sewer dis
trict or not before issuing permit
But he probably had to do what biz
Uncle Rice told him to do.
The plumber frankly said he knew
It is outside the district but he had
been told to 60 ahead and 1t would be
fixed up later and when the CLERK
gave a permit he went on with th'
work.
Mayor Rice is = great stickler fol
law; be is continually worrying about
and meddling with other peoples
affairs. How do the people Of sewel

money in taxes to build the seVei
