DOG CASE" DECIDED
Decision at Northwood Would Seem of
Insure Safety, in Future, in Stopping
Dog Fight by Use Of Shotgun.

Special to Times Republican.
Northwood, March PA dog CASE
on trial before Justice III. T. Finch,
aroused considerable interest at Ken
sett, the next town south Of here, yes
terday. Frank Moore was endeavoring
to collect $25 damages from a neighbor
named Schmidt, on account of the kill
ing on the night of Feb. 20, of a collie
dog. Schmidt and his boy, who did the
other dogs. were making the night mis-
cradle by continued yelping and howl
ing in the immediate vicinity of their
house, and claimed further that the dog
was worrying domestic animal"
The domestic animal was a puppy
belonging to Schmidt and he had been
considerably "woozled' by the visiting
CANNES. Schmidt, Jr., got the family
shotgun and sailed forth. He shot the
first dog he saw, which happened to
be Moores.
Moore maintained that the killing
was wrongful, and brought suit to re-
cover. The value of the dog was not
questioned but the court held that the
killing was justified. So, if the decision
is correct, it will be safe in the flu
ture to stop any dog fight by using the
shotgun on the upper dog" for he will
be worrying a domestic animal" Con-
siderably more than the value Of the
dog, was eaten up by attorney fees and
costs.
