OTHER DOG RESPONSIBLE
Not the Dog That Bit the Stock, but
the One That Bit the
Ritter


Clay City. Ind, Nov %. = An I'M
usual ruling was made at the recent
term Of Clay circuit court by Judge
]. NJ. RaNVley, on an agreed statement
of facts rs submitted by Attorney J.
L. Gardner, of Clay City. About the
first of March last, unknown to Farm
er Charles Steuernagel, his dog was
inoculated with rabies, and soon after
ward the dog bit several cows and
hogs, and the owner suffered damages
in the sum Of $40, for which he made
demand on the township trustee.
The trustee refused to allow the
claim, under the provision OF the stat
ute that the township shall not be held
responsible for damages to stock in
ficted by the owners dog. The dog
was not known to be vicious, there
fore, as commended by the claimant, the
real source which he suffered damages
was the dog which bit and inoculated
his own, of which he could have no
previous knowledge and against which
he could not guard and protect him.
self. In other words, the situation as
to the responsibility for the loss was
virtually the same as though the 9th
er dog had bitten the stock. The claim
was allowed by the court and paid by
the trustee.
