| the street within a short time to gather
up all CANNES found roaming the streets
| without a license tag.
| young man yesterday afternoon was
bitten on the leg by a dog. The owner
| OF the animal was cited TO appear in
police court this morning. The court
however, ruled that the fact that the dog
had bitten one person did not necessarily
mean that the animal was vicious. The
| court thereupon dismissed the case.

today from Richmond, petition was filed

| city in the chancery suit Of S. r. Dona-

money on deposit nor a bondsman on
whom it could fall back. The trust COM
pany also did an insurance business, and
4 in that connection had made the deposit
/ of certain bonds with the state treasurer
in the sum of $4,000. required by ,ne
commissioner of insurance and il is this
sum that Auditor Donohoe seeks to at
tach as property of the trust company,
against which the state has a double
