THE TALE OF A DOG.
Il Is Long One Manuel Cano Is
Led to Believe.

Manuel Cano, a Merchant street resi-
dent, entered upon a new chapter in his
experiments with the law and dog
yesterday, when Judge II. w. Scott SEN
teEced him to spend Ill days in the
county jail at Montpelier for keeping an
unlicensed canine. In its narrowing de-
tails, the tale of Alanuels experiences
with his unlicensed purp. is quite as
fascinating as the Missouri ''houn dawg''
yarn.
Sometime in May, 1911, Constable Nj,
b. Nichols went to Merchant street and
dispatched the dog belonging to Cano,
who could not produce license. Later
the owner was taken into custody and
brought before Judge Scott. The case
was continued to a specific date, but
the respondent failed to appear. Some
time elapsed before he was again appre
hended ON warrant and brought into
court. AT his second appearance. Cano
allowed that the deceased dog belonged
to his cousin and that he was not his
cousins keeper. He asked for a jury
trial and was promptly convicted. Judge
Scott fined him Sl5 and costs of Sl7,92.
Although failing to procure counsel,
Cano demanded an appeal and he was
told to file it for county court within
a certain time.
Early in March and long past the time
for the appeal to be entered, Cano was
again apprehended on mittimus He
promised to appear in court but the days
fitted by and Manuel still tarried. Mat
ters reached head yesterday. when
Constable Nichols took his man into Gus.
tody and brought him before Judge
Scott. Through countless delays, the
costs of the case had mounted mp to
a considerable sum and when the re-
srondent decided to accept the sentence.
h. found that III days would cover the
offense. The nan was taken to jail by
Constable Nichols later in the after
noon.

And After May IS, the Executioner Will

ing that the dog census for 1912 would
reveal an increase something in proper
tion to the increase in human popula-
ton. it may be expected that a mum
Der more than 400 will be licensed this
year. The final time for issuing the per-
mits to dog owners will end May Is
