Argued Over Pups Status.

John Palmer was adjudged guilty in the
Police Court this morning upon a charge
of stealing a bull pup two weeks old from
Mrs. Mary Stewart. and committed to
jail for thirty days in default of so fine.
During the trial the technical point of
whether a two-week-old pup could be
termed a taxable dog. as alleged in the
information filed against the defendant.
developed. The point raised created no
small amount of discussion in the court
room the prosecution contending that
under the ruling of the license office
though a two-week-old pup was not tax
able it could still be termed dog which
is liable to taxation. The court ruled in
favor of the prosecution. Policeman New

in the case.
