on those legal rights and thus has
established a precedent which may
effect the great dos population OF
the United States
Stripped OF its whimsy and its
humor. Dormie's tria! by Jury on
charge of murder has given the
canine world a means OF escape from
al the unwritten laws pertaining 10
domestic animals and has established
q definite code.
Briefly the background OF the case
OF Dormie Is this:
A licensed dog OF long pedigree.
and hence allowed 20 run about as
ne pleased. Dormie followed his
instinct and. as SIS the way Of a dos
with a cat made war against the
feline tribe OF his neigh borhood. The
specific charge Aas the killing OF

Brings Charges.
Mrs. Tngals took action under
local ordinance which makes a vic
ious or dangerous dog liable 20 death

Dogs Legal Rights.
The legal rights of a dog as es-
tablished by this precedent. are:
He can have trial by jury.
He can demand TO be identi-
fed as the specific dog in a specific

The order became effective imme-

The executive branch Of the gov

and the enforcement act my the legal
branch as prohibiting the transporta-
ton and sale Of liquor on American
vessels wherever operated, and the
presence Of liquor on foreign ships

The suggestion is made that con

bill introduced over a year ago which
would permit American passenger

vigorously opposed the measure.
