zle must be used all the year. But 1t
Is the refinement Of cruelty to muzzle
a dog at the very season Of the year
when he Is most tormented with fieas,
especially when we know that there
is no more need for q muzzle In July
than there Is In January.
You and I. Mr.. Editor. have beer
living In Sumter q good long time,
and neither one of us has ever heard
Of person being bitten by mad dog
on these streets. True. there have
been rumors OF mad dogs being kill
ed on the streets; but we have had
but very little positive proof that they
were mad when killed. A dog is
subject to brain troubles just as o
man is--provided the man has brains
and know Of no better way of
bringing on some. abnormal madnes,
than 70 mussle the poor beasts, and
subject them to the torture incident
thereto.
i am aware Of the ancient state
ment. Better to knl thousand dogs
than for one man to died Of rabies"
II might be allowed to pick the
man that Ii to be disposed OF. Il
should deny the wisdom of this prop
osition. Sometimes a man Is the
worst enemy Of q whole community.
while we all all know that a dog Is a
mans truest and most faithful friend
the one friend that clings to him
after all others have forsaken HIM.
The dislike Of. or the love for dogs is
born with US. The Item seems to have
been born on the negative side Of the
question. while others Of US were
brought forth differently. am quite
sure II would be possible for me to
find a goodly number of our citizens
who will gladly appear before our
honorable board Of aldermen to de-
bate the question with them as to the
wise course to pursue with the dogs.
Respectfully,
G. G. Brown.

From the results Of your flights in

drawn any new conclusions as to the
future Of the airship?"

CAR MEN HELD NOT
TO BLAME BY JURY
DEATH OF WOMAN RETURNED
AS ACCIDENTAL
Testimony Shows Victim Stepped Un-
expectedIy on Right of Way and
Motorman Could Not Stop
Quickly Enough

LONG BEACH, Nov. 16-That the
death of Mrs J. Fl. Dale, who was
killed at the Obispo avenue crossing
Saturday morning by a Pacific Electric
car, was an accident for which the
car crew cannot be blamed, is the YER
dict of coroner's jury at the inquest
held this afternoon at the Walker I'M
dertaking rooms.
The statements of Motorman Harry
n. Birmingham of 634 Towne avenue,
Los Angeles. and of Conductor w. L..
Hillman of Glendale, particularly We're
interesting. They said the woman was
walking on the Pacific Electric right of
way between the poles and the north
bound track until their car, No 391
which left Los Angenes at 7:45 O'Clock
for Newport, was within 1856 feet of
her. Then, they testified, the woman
turned unexpectedly and. going around
pole, stepped upon a cattleguard on
the south-bound track.
The motorman whistled for Obispo
avenue and also sounded the emergency
whistle His reduction of speed, made
when the woman stepped in front of
the car, was a futile attempt to pre-
vent the accident.
Only two other witnesses were ex-
amined One a boy, Oscar Bond saw
the accident. The jurors were J. A.
Miller, E. T. Blount, r. w. Hitchings,
T. w. Gaines, r. V. Foster and E. w.

A spirited discussion followed, in
which several property owners ana
most of the trustees took part.
At the advice of the city attorney
Trustee Griffith moved that the fran
chise matter be reconsidered. After
waiting in vain for second, and as
none of the trustees seemed disposed
to offer any, President EalSins requested
Trustee Mayer to take the chair and
seconded the motion himself
The ordinance being now In the same
position as before the final reading, the
next meeting of the board was desig-
mated as the time for hearing the pro-
tests of the property owners.
The making of the motion to recon
slider arose from a somewhat dellcate
situation. Trustee Mayer, who voted
against the ordinance in the first place.
could not with propriety make the mo-
ton. and Trustee Griffith made the
motion. but was unable to secure
second until the president of the board
himself came down from the chair
and seconded 1t. Then the motion was
passed unanimously.
