to pull up suddenly.
Just as this happened a collie
travelling with its mistress in the
car leaped out and chased ethe
poodle, which frightened the pony
so that 1t bolted toward the car.
Seeing this, the chauffeur drove
toward a gutter, but as the dogs
were fighting there, had to take
another course, colliding, finally,
with a stone wall and totally
wrecking the machine.
The owner of the car brought
an action against the owner of the
chicken, claiming that 1t was re-

not been trying to do this the
chauffeur would have kept his
nerve and saved the machine from
accident.
Yet though the chicken caused
the accident the chickens act was
not in itself violent or dangerous.
This chicken would doubtless have
made a tender broiler; it was gen.
tie and inoffensive, and not being
ferae naturae its destruction of the
automobile was unconscious and
free from malice. Therefore the
chicken not having exceeded its
common law rights the action
could not be maintained, and
judgment was accordingly entered
for the defendant.

G0TGH IS AN EASY WINNER
RETAINS TITLE OF CHAMPION OF
THE WORLD.
Defeats the Big Turk Two Falls In a
Fast and Exciting Wrestling
Contest.

Chicago.-Frank Gotch, Of Hum
boldt. Iowa, succeeded in retain
ing his title to the worlds champion
ship Wednesday night by defeating
Yussiff Mahmout, of Bulgaria in a fast
and furious match. The much-touted
Bulgarian was as a child in the hands
of his opponent.
Gotch won both falls with crotch
and half-Nelson holds, eight minutes
and nine minutes and ten seconds.
The victory of the champion is all
the more notable, inasmuch as he did
not use his famous toe hold in bring
ing about the downfall of the power

Gotch was able to secure most any
hold he desired so limited was the
Turks knowledge of the game.
The match was fast and exciting
from the time the men entered the
ring. 1t was so short that there was
not a single minute between the two
falls.
