DOCS TESTIMONY IN COURT
DECIDES WHO IS HIS MASTER

SEATTLE, Feb. 11.-"Bill,"
an English setter, testified in JUS
tice R. r. Georges court yester-
day on behalf of the defendant
in the case of Arthur and May
G. Ball against Mrs. Esther e..
in which the title to the
dog was involved.
Bills testimony decided the Is
sue with as much certainty AS
Solomon's sword did the matern-
ity of the child over which two
women were contending.
Bill did not see a sword hang
ing above him, or anything of
that sort, but he did what his
former master told him to do and
thereby fixed in the mind of judge
George the fact that the defend
ants were the rightful owners OF
Bill.
HE will play dead, speak low
and speak loud, and put his fore
feet behind his head at my sug-
gestion," said Gilman, unless he
has forgotten his early training"
II object to such testimony as
irrelevant, immaterial and incom-
petent, and on the further ground
that the witness cannot qualify by
OATH" said the attorney for the
plaintiff.
1--WE propose to show by the
dog that he will do his masters

RlDiCULES IDEA
OF DANGER IN !
COMET
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire
SANTA CLARA, Cal, Feb. IL.
The Rev. Jerome s. Ricard, d.
rector of the Santa Clara college
observatory, issued a statement
today deprecatlng the opinion
expressed by other scientists that
life on the earth is in danger of
being snuffed out because of the
cyanogen gas discovered in the
tail of Halley's comet.
There is no need of making
appeals to the revelations of
chemistry, which are known to
but a few" he said. "It is better
to stand by the logic of stubborn
facts. Behold, for these 1000
years and beyond, Halley's comet
has been our guest, and with neg
ligible variations has followed the
same gyrations in it's path around
the sun. Yet no historian, no
philosopher, no chemist, or al
chemist has been able to prove
by the use of proof that proves
any single case of comet tail poi
soning."

bidding" said the attorney for
the defendant. 1--WE contend that
his testimony is competent, ma
terial and relevant"
"I'll allow the dog to be brou ght
into court" said Justice George.
Bill and the bailiff walked sol
EMMY into court. Seeing famil-
lar faces in the court Bill began
to wag his tail by way of greet
ing. 1t was then up to Mr.
Gilman to have Bill give his testi-
mony.
"Play dead" said Gilman, and
Bill. stretched his full length on
the floor and was a motionless as
a sphinx.
Scratch your head" said Ehl-
man and Bills left fore foot was
thrown back of his neck.
Speak low" said Gilman, AMI
Bill made a faint sound which
couldn't be heard out of the court
room.
Speak loud" said Gilman,
and Bill let forth a yelp that
caused Justice Fred G. Brown, in
another courtroom, to take a re-
cess to determine the cause of the
commotion created in the New
York block.
THAT will do" said Justice
George. Judgment for the de-
|fendant."

DEVICE TO CATCH
CHAUFFEURS
JERSEY CITY. Feb.

JERSEY CITY, Feb. IL
Patents have been applied for for
new device for discovering
chauffeurs who attempt to run
away after an accident. This con-
sists of two or three bars run
ming across the front of the ma
chine, covering the entire width,
which serves as a carrier for the
license number tag. This has an
apparatus for dropping the lower
bar on which the number is placed
as soon as an accident occurs. If
the auto runs into anything, per-
son or vehicle, the license number
falls to the ground. thereby COM
polling the chauffeur to stop in
order to pick it up. If he should
attempt to put on speed and escape
the number would be left upon the
ground. The device has been in
vented by a young man of Jersey
City who expects it to be adopted
by many of the states in the near
future.

TIMBER FRAUD
IS CHARGED

CHEHALIS, Feb. II. - The
state has brought suit in Lewis
county superior court to set aside
two deeds to lands purchased in
1906, near Alpha. The case was
argued on demurrer before

PENDANTS. 1t is alleged that in
April, 1906, o. o. Ort made ap-
plication to the state to buy the
southwest quarter of section So
1871 west, that he represented the
land had no merchantable timber.
Representations by Mr.. Ort and
the cruiser are alleged to be
fraudulent; that the land contain
ed more than one million feet of
merchantable timber and more
than four million feet of fir,
cedar and hemlock. The state
sold the land for $1,000. 1t is
alleged to be worth more than
$4,000.

5000 in cash and a considerable
amount in stamps and jewelry.
There were two men in the

They entered the postoffice, blew
open the safe and stole it's con-

changed into money.
The thugs then went to the Di-

After terrifying the inhabitants,
the outlaws rode from the town.
A posse started in pursuit shortly
afterward. Divide is 80 miles
