TALE OF DOG's TAIL IL
MOUltNFUL TO HUNTER

Windsor. June lS.-Guy Hunter
was fined $3.50 in Justice Lay
bourn's court yesterday for tying =
can to q dogs tail.
It was proven beyound . doubt
that the tail involved in the case
belongs to = dog that belongs to
,. =. Koch and that Hunter tied .
tin tomato can to Koch's dogs tall
The question that bothered the court
were: Does . tin can tied to Q dogs
tail inflict pain on said tail? Should
the temper of . well-behaved dog be
ru6led by such = little annoyance as
having q tin can tied to his tail? Is
It an insult to the dignity of a re-
spectacle dog % have a tin can tied
to his tail? It was argued by the
defense that no court could decide
whether a can tied to q dogs tail
inflicted pain upon said tai, for the
reason that the only admissible tes-
timony on that point had to be given
by dog that once mad tin can tied
to his tail. Authorities were cited
to sustain the argument.
The prosecution said II was will
ling to place the plaintiff dog on the
witness stand.
But the dog was unable to speak
ASAoAAoA oA0 tuC cOuHt In0tIuCt6U inc
prosecution to secure an interpreter.
No one could be found in the whole
town of Windsor that could inter-
pref the dogs replies. The defense
moved for the dismissal OF the case
on the ground of insufficient testi-
mony
The court denied the motion. The
prosecution declared that 1t stood to
reason that. though the dogs tail
might have suffered no pain It did
suffer inconvenience. How could a
dog wag a tail which had a tin can
tied to 1t? And how could a tail
that had a tin can tied to 1t brush
hies away from dogs back?
Witnesses testified to the plaint-
ms excellent character They said
he was never known to be "riled"
until the can was tied to his tail by
the defendant.
The defense int reduced ,experts
who testified that a well-behaved. a
good natured dog could not be riled
II ten tin cans were tied to his tail.
The court found the defendant
guilty and decided that the plaintiff
| dog suffered insult and inconven-
ience and was damaged to the ex-
tent of $3.50.
