stance. And still owners of dogs have
an dea that the payment of a small
tax every year gives them the right to
allow the animals to run at large. 1t
is all right to say that the owner
can be compelled by law to pay the
damage, but owners of dogs do not
follow them around to note and re-
port such damages, and often an at
tempt to collect damages only results
i'll failure. II dogs are to be allowed
to run at large the tax should be in
creased and a fund established from
which damages should be paid upon
establishing the fact that damage had
been sustained from that cause.
Announcement has been made by
the Northwestern railroad of changes
in the trains which run between Sioux
City and Hawarden. The revision of
the time is made necessary by the
opening of the recently constructed
short line cutting eff over an hour of
the ride between Hawarden and Sioux
City. 1t will not influence the train
schedule in and out of Huron but it
places that city an hour and one half
nearer Sioux City. The passenger
which leaves Huron at 1905 o'clock in
the morning will now reach Sioux City
at $50 O'Clock in the afternoon instead
of Z o'clock. The evening passenger
going south reaches Sioux City AT
$40 o'clock in the morning rather
than at about 7 o'clock, These changes
went into effect on November |, and
mean a valuable improvement in tart
fc connections between Huron and
Sioux City. This arrangement gives
this part Of the state direct connec
tons through Huron for Sioux City.
For several years we have had a
schedule which allowed the trip to
the twin cities to be made at night,
but those having business in the Iowa
town were compelled to devote two
whole days to the going and coming.
