ONE DOLLAR FOR DOG BITE.
Mecembs Sues For $1,ooo-Jury Re-
turns Verdict Of 81.

MoCombo sues FOR $1,VUO-Jury ~.
turns Verdict Of 81.
How much is 1t worth to be bitten
on the leg by q bull dog? Or how much
ought the owner Of the dog pay the
bitten man for such an injury? A jury
in the district court this morning
thought such an injury was worth 81,
but the Jurors thoughts would not
have run even to SO large sum had
not the court instructed them to re.
turn a verdict for the plaintiff. The
Jurors followed instructions. but they
appended to the verdict the recon-
mendation that the court tax the costs
to the plaintiff. This recommends
ton was useless. as the law fixes the
taxing of the costs, which fall on the
defeated litigant, which In this case is
the defendant.
The case was that Of George B. Nc
Combs vs.. Frank Navarro, both Of this
city. McCombs sued for $1,000. Nc
Combs and Navarro were formerly
neighbors. One day some one called
McCombs over the Navarro telephone.
Mrs. Navarro answered the phone and
called McCombs. He came over into
his neighbours house, used the phone.
thanked Mrs. Navarro, and started
home.
While McCombs was leaving the
Navarro house the Navarro bull dog at
tackled him, biting him on the leg. The
dog did no serious injury the testi-
mony showed, and McCombs' leg was
only scratched. McCombs testified
that he was away from work for ten
days because of the injury, and that
he paid a doctor IS for attending him.
McCombs, not being engaged in a
criminal act, and Navarro being under
the law responsible for the acts Of his
bull dog, Judge Nichols instructed the
jury that it must find for McCombs
In some sum. After the Jury had been
out for time the foreman returned to
court. wanting to know of the judge
which of the litigants would have to
pay the costs. He was told that the
jury had nothing to do with the ques-
ton Of costs. but evidently 1t just
couldn't resist the temptation to In
sert the recommendation about the
costs. after it had no option but to find
for McCombs
