when they want to bite calves, they'll
have to argue before the Dauphin
county court as to whether or not
there is even room for argument.
That new phase of the story of the
calf biting expedition of quintet of
alleged mad dogs developed yesterday
when Victor Braddock, counsel for
Mr.. Detweiler filed demurrer TO the
commissioners answer to his suit for
a claim of $160 few weeks ago. The
$3.50 represents what Detweiler says
has slain calves are worth. The COM
missioners denied their responsibility
ON the ground that mad dogs do not
chase around in crowd when they go
in for ewing-that they always
act singly. Ordinarily this grave prob
lem would have been threshed out in
argument when the question of the
permanency of a preliminary man
damus obtained by Detweiler against
the commissioners to pay the $3.50
was before the court. Detweiler's lat
est move, however, continues the case
until the regular argument court, Oc-
tober IL. In demurring, he says the
question of how many dogs isn't be-
fore the commissioners that question
has been settled by the auditor legally
bound to make his return. The audi
tor says five mad dogs killed the
calves, Attorney Braddock contends,
and all that remains for the commits
sioners to do is to pay the money and
not argue as to whether mad dogs
operate alone or in punches of five.
