AFTER THE DOCS
Another Bunch of Warrants Issued By Prosecutor Melgs.

Notwithstanding Judge Burpee's ruling today on the mayors order re- iatng to dogs, half dozen warrants Tor delinquent dog owners were is- sued by Prosecutor Meigs this morm- Ing, and the indications are that dogs will form the main feature of court business for some time.
 Yesterday afternoon Ofhcer Gabriel had an experience with two dogs. The first he ran against was shep- herd, and it seemed to be of good breed. But 1t was at large and tho officer lassoed 1t on Kingsbury street. Then he tried to pull 1t after him, but he found he might as well have tried to pull ex-Coustable John O'Brlen out of the democratic party. And in the end he had to let 1t go. Had he known much about dogs he would not have attempted to pull shepherd dog, for 1t is actually immoveable when il feels that way. Half an hoar later on North Elm street the of ficer saw another dog, big one, but he was easw and he went to the sta- ton house like lamb.

 The one behind started the con- versation. She begged Mrs As par don. but the stage was hidden and would she mind removing her hat ? Mrs A would not. There were two requests and two refusals. The of- lending hat was slapped at from be- hind, its wearer jumped to her feet and then-the rest of the balcony folk thought they'd die-there began n a good. old scrap.
 Fists flew. One of Mrs B's flew in- to Mrs As right eye and another started ripping sound. The people around decided to live after all. and everybody jumped up and applauded. letting the mermaids go swim.
 The man who was with the voman n In front finally pinned her arms to her side and led her away. The other refused to go. and sat back with an appearance of contentment.
