attached One $40 Fine In Court.

King Jock, son OF Irving Jock and
Jane Shore. was indirectly the cause OF
q row yesterday morning in the quarters
occupied by Fire Headquarters in West
Sixty street.
King Jock Is an English bulldog OF
high degree and his owner is buff. John
G. Wskely, the steward OF the Hahnemann
Hospital. which is two blocks away from
the engine house on the same street,
10 the owner.
Wakely says his dog is valued at 81, 500
and that It received second prize at the
last dog show In Madison Square Garden.
Broad shoulders and remarkably long
distance between the forward legs have
won great admiration for this dog from
those who appreciate canine points.
Foreman Levy OF the Fire Department
was one OF those admirers when he was
in charge OF Engine 80. and he and the
dogs owner became friends. The hos
pital steward was one OF the bufs that
toniest companies in the city. Very
often the steward brought the bull along
when on visit to the engine quarters.
and the dog found congenial company
there in 0kie. the Dalmatian hound which
William X. Vanderbilt presented to the
firemen as mascot.
Foreman Levy was sent to another
company a few weeks ago and Foreman
Charles Schwinbersky took his place as
commander. Schwinbersky set about to
make some reforms, one OF which was to
cut down the compsny's visiting list and
to discourage the presence Of buffs in
quarters.
The steward was one Of those notified
that IL he wanted TO run to fires with the
engine he would have to take to the side
walk.
The steward took the hint. but how
was the dog to know about the change?
That was what the steward wanted TO
know yesterday.
wakely took his dog when he went
out for a walk yesterday and on his way
to Third avenue he took the sidewalk
opposite the engine house when passing.
But Okie was at the door OF quarters,
and seeing his old friend across the street
barked a recognition.
King Jock dashed across the street.
the two dogs rubbed noses for a moment
and then ran back to the rear of the engine
house.
The steward crossed the street and
was about to enter the house To get his
dog when he encountered the new COM
mander, who got in his way.
My dog is in here and | want to get
him. said the steward.
-l'll throw you and your dog out II
You come in here. responded the foreman.

OF contradiction when the case reached
the Yorkville police court a little Inter.
There was no dispute over the fact that
the foreman arrested the steward. took
him into the police station next door
and made charge of disorderIy conduct
against him.
This mans dog IL great for chasing
cats" the foreman said to Magistrate
O'Connor when the prisoner was ar
raigned. when the man came into
quarters to-day l told him would throw
him out il the came in. aud his dog too.
He said 1 couldn't put him out and he
made motion to striF" me-"
The steward is a al sized man and
his lawyer asked the foreman IL the stew
ard did not have the dog in his arms.
The foreman said the man held the dog
with one arm and struck out with the
other.
This fireman struck me and my dog
with whip" said Makely. After
using the whip he struck me- with his
fist and knocked me down"
The Magistrate fined the steward SO.
whereupon Lawyer Frauenthal asked
that it be noted in the minutes that the
fine was paid under protest, as he in
tended to appeal from the Magistrates
