MANY DOC BITES

Honolulu is suffering from an cpl

with one ripped trouser leg and bad
ly-lacerated calf presenting himself in
a demand for justice against the owner
of Pauoa canine. Previous complaints
had been presented from Kal1hl, Kali
muki and the McCully tract.
These complaints have induced the
department to get busy on the unli-
censed dog question, and a special Of
ficer has been delegated to get out and
round up all the dogs that are I'M
tagged. The difficulty now is that the
department has no dog-catcher's wag-
on. There is one wagon in use Tor
carrying supplies for the prison, the
horse for which is kept at the expense
of the police department, but which the
High Sheriff says can not be spared
for a dog hunt. Under these circum-
stances Sheriff Iaukea is up against 1t.
The funds of his department will not
stand for another rig, and he has ask
ed Assessor Holt to dig up share. The
Assessor has the matter under advise
ment.
1t is estimated that there are about
two hundred untagged dogs in the city,
