During the past three years cer,aln
parties have at times been cited to
appear before the Police Court to
show cause why they should not be
fined for refusing to land watermelons
at Fishtown or refusing to pay whar-
fage on the same when carried to
io;her wharves.
These eases have generally been set

tshe lessee wharfage.
! A special session Of the Police
Court was held late yesterday after
noon to investigate a case in which
dealer had refused to pay the IS
sessment after having landed a cargo
AT wharf between King and Prince
streets.
The defendant stated that there
were no accommodation at the city

show why they should not be ilned
fer allowing unnguzzled dogs to run
at large. An elderly co1ored woman
was before the court this morning to
answer the charge Accompanying
her was large, good natured, worth
less, ciiocolate-colored cur which ran
10 and fro with attempts to make
friends with the court and all pres

She produced a license on the AMI

hat there would be no repetition Of
the offense. She was dismissed with
the admonition that should the dog be
found in the street minus muzzle in
the future the law would be enforced.
Dogs with their muzzles dangling
about their necks are often seen in
the city. There Is tale attached to
this: it is to make it appear that the
muzzle was adjusted properly, but
hat the animal paved at it until it
was brought under its throat 1t
seems that this trick has been I'M
ported from a sister Virginia city, as
will be seen by the following from a
Lynchburg paper:
"Some mighty amusing things are
heard on the stress when an owner
of a dog. who has failed to comply
with the dog muzzling law, is accost-
ed by policeman for his negligence.
They can put up some Of the lamest
excuses that have ever been heard,
the most popular one being that the
muzzle was removed 70 feed the dog,
and Judging from their talk the dogs
must eat about twenty-four hours
in day.
One owner of a canine thought he
would get by the ordinance by fasten-
ing the muzzle around the dogs neck,
leaving the moose piece dangling I'M
der his chin. giving the impression
that the dog had just paved it lose.
This trick wouldn't work for the police
man saw through the ruse and after
watching the dog for several days he
summoned the owner before the may
or charged with violating the dog
muzzling law and he was relieved of
five perfectly good dollars. That dog
is now wearing one of the biggest
muzzIeS in Lynchburg.
Some of the residents seem to think
that the dog muzZling law is just an
Idle within and fail to see the serious
ness of it, and the police are Of the
opinion that he only way to convert
these people is to take few green
backs from them ana are not hest
tating about bringing them into
court.
1t shoull be unnecessary to state
that the law requires dogs to be prop
erly muzzlci. A case was before the
Alexandria Police Court few days
ago where dog had bitten a child.
The owner in his defense alleged that
the dog was muzzled hat is leather
device WIS used which allowci a free
use of its jaws. The owner was told
he could have the animal killed or pay
five dollars fine. He agreed 10 turn
the dog over to the police.
