DOG Law TAXES
JURIST'S CAPACITY
Wil!er Finds Blackstone Muffed
II, but Cruelty to Animals
Might Touch 1t.

A question Of dog law, or rather
about dogs, yesterday confronted JUS
tice w. H. Willer, the veteran Justice
of the peace of Cape County.
The owner of dog which had been
shot to death applied to the Judge for
a warrant against the man who did
the shooting, in the hope that he could
get comfort out of legal procedure.
Just what sort of action could be
brought against dog-killing man
stumped the Judge for few minutes.
but after a consultation with the
statute books ne issued the warrant
charging unlawful killing of a dog"
The warrant was issued against
Charles Stillwell, a Frisco employee,
who resides on Jefferson avenue. 1t
was issued on the complaint of Still
wells neighbOr, Charles Handerline,
of 1923 Jefferson avenue, who accuses
Stillwell with having shot his pet
puppy dog few days ago.
Handerline, after his dog had cx-
pred. declared that he would have
hesitatcd in taking 500 for him alive
aud for that reason was anxious to
push the matter after the carinc's
untimely death.
The Judge consulted the statute on
"CrueIty to Animals" first, and after
careful scrutiny discovered that the
dog was left out
Shooting ought to be listed under
Cruelty to Animals said the Judge,
but don't see dogs here. Either
one Of two reasons for that: The Leg
islature believed no one could be cruel
to dog, or that the dog don't count
for much.
Shooting a horse or a COW is pro
vided for-and even gOat-but no
dog. Why, killing a goat is peniten-
tiary otfense if you read the statutes"
On failing to discover the dog law
in the cruelty section, Judge WilIcr
then bethought him that State law
announces that a dog is a mans PEI
sOnal property. To kill a mans dog,
consequently, would be destruction of
personal property
He reached for his pad of warrants
and made out warrant on that basis.
ut ought to be made misdcmeanor
under law to kill a dog" the Judge
declared, land if this case don't stick
am sure the owner can sue for
damages"

TINSLEY IS FIRST
AUTO Law VICTIM
He Is Fined $25 for Obstructing
Street With His
Machine.

After a jury of six men in the
Police Court yesterday afternoon fined
c. r. Tinsiey, automobile driver, $25
and costs on a charge of obstructing
traffic by leaving his machine stand
ing in the center Of the street, Attor-
ney Lee l. Bowman announced for
TinsIey that the case will be appealed
to Judge John A. Snider of the COM
mon Pleas Court.
The Tinsley case is one of the first
to be tried under the new auto traffic
ordinance and yesterday was the CEN
ter of considerable interest on the part
of automobile men.
Tinsley was arrested several days
ago when a police officer asserted he
had left his machine standing in the
street too far away from the curbing
to conform with the provisions of the
statute which makes it mandatory for
a chauffeur to drive in close to the
curb.
Tilsley determined to fight the case
and asked a jury trial before Police
Judge Fristoe, with the result that the
jury fuond him guilty. The Jury was
composed of J. H. Price. Silas p. Lail,
D. A. Chaplin, G. X. SHREDDER. Bailey
Whitledge and w. T. Ruff.

Will ILLUSTRATE
MISSOURI HISTORY
Mrs. Hinchey Gathers Photos
For Use in Lantern
Lecture

Initial steps were taken yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. 4. H. Hinchey to
form a collection of pictures of his
toric character to be used in an illus
tratcd lecture at the State convention
in October of the United Daughters Of
the Confederacy.
The pictures are to be made into
lantern slides which will be employed
in giving d stereOpticOn history of
Missouri, and it is the desire of the
members Of the organization TO cover
everything in the more intimate Mis-
souri, history from 1860 to the present
time.
The concerted move to depict Mis-
souri, history on the screen at the
State convention, which will be held
this fall at Hannibal, has been started
by the D. A. r. chapter at Trenton,
Mo. Mrs. Hinchey received a commu-
nicaUiOn from the officials Of the chap
ter at Trenton asking her to cooperate
with them and cover this section of
the State in obtaining pictures for the
lecture at the convention.
The pictures must be collected by
June IS, at which time the women
plan to send them to William Jewell
College to have the lantern slides pre-
pared.
Subsequent to the State convention
at Hannibal, the pictures will be used
in a similar manner at a centennial
celebration being planned by the Mis-
souri, Historical Society at St. Louis.
In outlining the character of pic
lures that are to be included in the
list. the Trenton officials declare that
both the North and South and their
activities are to be included.
All photographs of historical places,
of monuments and of historical people
are wanted. Relics, records and docu-
ments will form an interesting series,
and rare collections of al kinds will
be acceptable in pictures.
Information and pictures of men or
women who have obtained national
fame or who have been leaders in his
tory making in other states after leav-
ing Missouri, or in other countries, are
wanted.

BUT FILING OF CERTIFICATE

The marriage certificate showing
that Fannie Hcbelsell and William N.
Mcclure were married by Justice
Gowen three weeks ago was fled with
County Clerk DeLap today.
1t was union Of a man who had
pulled in . single harness for many
years and woman who had not ex-
perienced welded bliss all these past
sixteen years. The groom is from old
Virginia, and the bride is a school
teacher at klamath Agency.
The groom seemed Indifferent
about announcing the marriage to an
anxiously awaiting public, but the
bride. coy. shy and hard to please"
was afraid. saying the people at
klamath Agency would poke much
fun at her. Justice Gowen and the
Herald obliged the bride by not an
nouncing the ceremony.
Only the law compels divulging OF
the secret now. 1t says that any per.
son solemnizing a marriage must file
his certificate within thirty days after
the ceremony is performed.

Councilman Matthews explained
that instead OF one road over the
3uena Vista Hill to the mill OF the
klamath Manufacturing company
and branch along Link River to the
Wincma landing. only one road will
be built. and that shall go along the
river. pass by the landing and con-
tinue to the sawmill. He said this
change was made because the sec, 900
voted for the work ia insufficient to
construct the road as provided. He
said also that the council got the sane
tion OF the road committee to this
change before 1t was made.
The crushed rock branch from the
nacadam highway to the city limits.
toward Pelican City. is not being con-
structed because there Is not enough
money to do this. said Councilman
Mathews.
The promoters OF the so-called
Shippington road said last night that
they had understood the county
would improve the road from Pelican
City to the city limits. or to the point
to which the crushed rock road was
TO have extended. County Judge
Hanks denied any such promise on
the pert OF the county. It Ia not
known whether the county will i'm
prove this road or whether the
crushed rock highway to the city
limits will be constructed.
1t has been suggested that that
part Of the shippington road from
the Winema boat landing to the mill
OF klamath Manufacturing company
be only finished with crushed rock
and that the money that would be
used for matchmaking this section be
spent In laying crushed rock on the
Pelican City branch to the city limits.

Thin People Gained
Weight Quickly
BY Following This Simple
Suggestion.

Thin mon and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10
or 10 pounds Of healthy "etay there"
fat should try eating q little Sargol
with their meals for while and
note results. Here is q good test
worth trying. First weigh yourself
and measure yourself. Then take
Sargul--one tablet with every meal
for two weeks. Then weigh and
measure agnin. II isn't a question OF
how you look or feel or what your
friends ray and think. The scales
and the tape measure will tell their
own story, and many thin mon and
women we believe can easily add
from Ave TO eight pounds In the flrst
fourteen days by following this sim
pie direction. And best OF all, the
new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not OF itself make fat.
but mixing with your food. Il aims
[ to turn the fats, sugars and starches
OF what YOU have eaten, into rich.
ripe fat producing nourishment for
the tissues and blood--prepare Il in
IN easily assinllated form which the
blood can readily accept. Much or
this nourishment now passes from
your body as waste. But Sargol
works to stop the waste and do II
quickly and to make fat producing
contents OF the very same meals you
are, eating now develop pounds and
pounds OF healthy flesh between your
skin and bones. Sargol is safe. pleas
ant. efficient and inexpensive. All
leading druggists In this vicinity sell
1t In large boxes--forty tablets to q
pacakgo-on guarantee OF weight
increase or money back as found In
each large Observation-Disclosures.
