Of, and then smashed the door and en-
tered The neiEhboThood was aroused
and lights twinkled at every window
as Mcdonald entered the domicile OF
his mother-in-law, talking loudly and
profanely.
As ne started upstairs there was a
great smash as a large lamp crashed
10 the floor Mother-in-law and wife
screamed, and there was a hurry-up
call for the police. When Officer Nor
gal arrived on the scene Mcdonald was
sitting in his room upstairs. wonder
ing what it was all about, he said this

II is not profitable to harbor a tramp
dog. as Charles Hall, Of First street
northwest, found out this morning
when he was fined s. by Judge T1imball
for keeping an Unmuzzled canine.
Fido drifted into the Hall domicile
seven months ago, and was given a
temporary home. The Halls tried to
find his owner, but they hesitated about
delivering him over to the tender mer-
cies Of the dog pound. One day Mrs.
Hall went TO a ueighboring store to get
her Door dog a bone. and while there
Fido bit the hand OF the clerk who
threw him the mOrseI. This disOrdeTly
conduct could not be condoned even by
the hospitabIe Halls. and the dog
catcher was called in and FldO is now
at the pound.
Your actions were charitable, but
unlawful" Judge Kimbali told Mr.. Hall
today. II you haTbor a dog you must
muZzle him I am going to enfOrCe the
