A FINE DAY AT THE SHORE

Dear Social Corner Sisters Yes, my dog was returned to me, Red Clover, for the thrilling sum of three dollars. But I lost my temper at the same time and as yet haven't found 1t. Do you suppose the dog catcher has it, or has he sent 1t to the commissioner? l should like to have it, as l may need it again. I am still wondering why it is, that those who try their utmost to obey the law are the first ones to suffer Tor It, when an acci- dent happens as it will to the most careful. It Is 8 deplorable state our city Is in and what a spirit of revenge some of our neighbors have shown toward one another. Even those that both hate and fear a dog, could have helped the sit uation. and done deed of kindness that would long have been remembered, by asking his or her neighbor if they knew their dog had gotten loose. But no, it was good time to get even for a real or fancied wrong, so they rush to the tel sphone for the dog warden, and the pity of it Is when the quarantine Is lifted those aeighbors are enemies when it would have been so much better to have been friends. But there were some that did do Q charitable act and helped all they could. and those we all thank. l think soon my brain will register something else beside dog for 1t Is all 1t is capable of at the present writing. I had become so nery- ous. l could not stand much more, so when kind friends Invited me last week to their cottage down at the shore I ac- cepted. I had wonderful time. We built fireplace on the shore gathered driftwood and soon had fine bed of hot coals. Then We toasted bacon and weenies. made coffee, toasted marshmal-
 lows, had home made rolls and cake, and such appetites we did have. We went out rowing and when our dinner was di- gested went in bathing. The water was l delightfully."- warm. IL was . day long
 to be remembered and helped me very
 much. Perhaps you would like to hear
 about my preparations before I could leave. My husband said he would take care Of the ferocious animals. So for l fear they would get away again I procur- | ed two large staples made him drive i both through the chain into the side of I the house with sledge hammer. He thought 1 was crazy and I expect was.

Probably never in the annals of crimi-

been heard. BY Nellie Kiroff holding to
straightforward story that the shooting
was an accident" she virtually tore
down part of the compound theory Of
the defense that the tragedy was due to
self defense and to accidental shooting.
So involved was the situation at the
close of the testimony of Mrs. Kiroff In
her own defense that Judge Alfred NJ.
Balm, who is presiding in the case on
change of venue from the Marion Crimi
nal Court, after the jury had retired last
night, informed counsel that the court
could not see the element of self-defense
following the testimony of Mrs. Kiroff.
Just as Nellie Kiroff started to leave
the witness stand, after Mr.. Miller had
concluded the cross examination on the
part of the State. Judge Balm asked her
