DOG RUNS AMUCK;;
TWO MEN ARE BITTEN
BULLET FROM OFFICERS GUN
ENDS MAD CHASE
Animal Supposed to Be Suffering from
Rabies Attacks John Fabris
and S. Warren with
Teeth

Two persons we're bitten by dog
supposed to have been suffering from
the rabies, and one man was attacked
and had a narrow escape from the teeth
of the same animal, which caused con-
siderable excitement on East Main
street yesterday morning when it ran
down the street swapping at every per-
son it met. The dog was killed later by
Patrolman Ferns, who was sent in
response to a frantic appeal made TO
the eastside police station.
The first person bitten by the dog
was John Fabris, Is years old, of 424
South Avenue Twenty. The lad was
walking along the street when the dog
attacked him and sunk its teeth in the
left leg of the boy. Fabris attempted
to- escape but the animal followed him
and bit him twice more in the same leg.
He was taken to the drug store of S.
w. Carle, 1857 East Main street, where
emergency treatment was applied, and
later taken to the receiving hospital,
where the wounds were cauterized.
After biting Fabris, the dog continued
down the street snarling, and when it
came abreast of S. Warren of 1880 East
Main street it rushed at him, and be-
fore Warren could get away he had
been bitten once.
The dog then ran down East Main
street, where it made a savage attack
on John Smith, an employe of Carl
Leonardt, contractor. Smith was on
the East Main street bridge and saw
the animal coming. He fought off the
dog and had succeeded in chasing it
away when Patrolman Ferns arrived
and put an end to the dog with well
aimed bullet from his revolver. The
dog was a mongrel and was owned by
ID. Garcia of 1919 East Main street.

Lives OF aeronauts remind us
That it would be simply grand
If when earth was left behind us
We could know where we would
land.
Men love to race brains as well
as aeroplanes. A mans posi-
bilities are practically unlimited.
1t is all right to be cautious,
but all wrong to be over-cau-
tious. [ would rather do a thing
and do it wrong than daily
around for a lifetime and never
know whether it was best or
not; the person who never risks
anything will never have any
thing. The effort must be made.
Perfection is not a matter of
days, it is the work of a life
time. Ii you see man occupy
ing a good position with short
hours and high pay, don't envy
him. He is there for just one
reason. He has worked early
and late, toiled and struggled
in a way that the average man
never dreamed of. There is not
so very much difference be-
tween him and the man who
isn't there, except that he has
done the work. If you see a
man ahead of you in the race,
don't envy him and think he is
lucky, but try to discover what
he has done that you haven't
done, and then go do it. AS
soon as a man is satisfied with
himself, he ceases to grow.
There is nothing that puts a
man ahead so much as being n
little dissatisfied with his own
efforts. James ]. Hill wasn't
satisfied until he had not only
built the Great Northern Rail-
road, but had made people pros

success, but endeavors to make
all around him successful. The

COURT SAYS THE /
ISSUE WAS SETTLED
BURNS SUIT AGAINST MRS. ALONG
THROWN OUT AS ALREADY AID
INDICATED IN FORMER CASE.

In an opinion written by Chief JUS
tice Hartwell the Supreme Court hand
ed down a decision on Thursday sus-
tanning the exceptions in the case of
Bessie r. Burns against Julia IL.
Along
The syllabus states that Gin an
equity suit the issue was whether a
promise had been made with intent not
to keep it and the decision, as con-
strued by this court, was that no prom
Use whatever had been made. The de-
cree dismissing the bill, based on the
decision, bars a subsequent action at
law on the same promise"
in the course of the opinion the SUI
preme Court says:
This was an action of assumpsit to
recover $4,000 upon the defendants
agreement to pay the plaintiff that sum
for compromising a suit in equity
brought by the plaintiff and others

TWO COURSES OPEN.

In the equity suit the material fact
in issue was whether the compromise
was obtained by the promise made with
intent not to keep it. Both the pro-
mise and the fraudulent intent were
necessary to be shown, failure of proof
of either of these requiring dismissal
of the bill. Two courses were open to
The trial court, first to find that there
was no promise, when there could
have been no intent not to keep it, and
second tn find or assume promise and
then fine that The promise was made in
good faith without intent not to keep
it. The judge said; 1t seems to the
court that i is simply a question of
fact. The fact presented is, was there
a compromise made and was it made
without fraud o. misrepresentation.
The question is, did Mrs. Afng promise
Mrs. Burns nome or $4,000 or any
thing in consideration of her signing
the compromise? From all the evil
denCe in the case the court is satisfied
that Mrs. Burns entered into this COM
promise with her eyes open and that
she was aware OF this compromise
The plea in ba is sustained Had the
court merely stated the broad question
which it first stated, was it made with
out fraud 81 misrepresentation, and
then merely said, the plea in bar is
sustained which of the alternatives
above suggested il adopted would have
been open 10 doubt. The court. how
ever, proceeded further and stated the
precise question which is proposed to
and decide, namely: Did Mrs.
Along promise Mrs. Burns a home or
$4,000 or anything in consideration of
her signing the compromise? The rule
that estoppels are not to be based upon
matters that may be merely inferred
from a judgment does not apply to in 7.
ferences that are necessary. II. c. az .
S. Co. V. w. S. Co., IA Haw so, 50. AS
we read the decision, there is no room
to infer that the court found or assum-
ed a promise and then merely found a
lack of fraudulent intent. It's state |
ment OF the precise question to be an
swered excludes the possibility of the
inference and the language used was
not apt or appropriate to express any
such finding. The decision is an ad-
iudication that the promise now declar-
ed on was not made and bars the pre-
sent action.
The plaintiffs demurrer to the plea
was properly overruled and as no new
showing was made by the replication
he defendants demurrer to it and
also the plea in bar itself should have
been sustained and judgment for de-
'endant entered

case the court is satisfied that Mrs.
Burns entered into this compromise
with her eyes open, and that she was
aware of this compromise.
" The plea in bar is sustained
The question presented by all the
three exceptions taken by the defend
ant is whether the plaintiff is estoppeG
by the decree, the court having over
ruled the defendants plea that the de-
cree finally adjudicated the issue of a
tiff that it is only by inference that it
can be said that the court decided
that there was no promise at all, a
promise with an intention not to keep
promise with an intention not to keep
it being the fact in issue and not
whether any promise was made. The
defendant contends that the decision
necessarily disposes of the fact of a
PROMISE with whatever intention, for
if there was no promise there could be
no intention.
Specifically the pleadings, besides
INC pl0d lSlelleu W, were dS lOllOWS'
The plaintiff demurred to the plea OH
the ground that the decree determined
nothing in the equity suit except that
it was compromised without fraud or
misrepresentation but does not pur-
port to determine the separate collat-
eral and inducing contract on which
this plaintiff sues but an entirely DIFF
ferent and separate agreement The

against the defendant for an account
ing of the accumulations of trust
fund, her removal as trustee and the
appointment or another in her place. A
compromise was made pending the suit
which the defendant pleaded in bar
The plaintiff Bessie Il. Burns then filed
a supplemental bill alleging that the
compromise was secured by fraud CON
sisting among other things in the de-
PENDANTS promise to pay her $4,000
made with the intention not to keep
it, The defendant filed her answer to
the supplemental bill denying the pro-
mise. The court after hearing evidence
sustained the plea in bar and made
decree dismissing the bill after Civ
ing the following decison:
Although nearly two weeks have
been consumed in the taking of evil
dence in support of the plea in bar,
it does not seem necessary to the court
to take the case under advisement. 1t
seems to the court that it is simply
question of fact. The fact presented
is, was there a compromise made and
was it made without fraud or misrepre-
sentation?
The court in passing upon the
question acts in the nature of jury
instead of that of the court The ques-
ton is, did Mrs. Along promise Mrs.
Burns home or $4,000, or anything
in consideration of her signing the COM
promise? From all the evidence in the
