Last Warning to
Owners of Dogs
Owners of Dogs Warned That Taxes
Must be Paid Immediately or
Law Will be Carried Out.

County Clerk Charles Holderness
received communication this morn
ing from A. B. Alexander, director of
the division of dog licensing of the
state Of Wisconsin, directing that re-
ports be forwarded at once to Madison
regarding the delinquencies in the
payment Of dog taxes in Kenosha and
in the Various towns of Kenosha
county. The communication sets
forth the provisions Of the law that
the dog tax must be paid by Febru-
airy 1st, and directs that the county Of
ficials make a thorough survey to see
that all such taxes are paid.
The law states that a dog may be
killed in the event that the tax has
not been paid Officers in the towns
have been lenient in regard to the tax
and have often delayed in putting into
effect the provisions of the law The
letter received by Mr.. Holderness this
morning directs that all town treas
urers be- ordered to report at once on
delinquencies in dog tax and take
immediate steps to collect as much Of
the delinquent tax as possible.
Every township, village and city in
the state is to be checked up and woe
be to the dog whose master has failed
to provide him with the dog tax tag,
according to the warning issued by
the state departm ent.

OPEN TRIAL FOR
DEATH OF CHILD
Mr.. and Mrs. III. Quar-
dokus Ask $4,000 from
J. r. GOttfredsen.
TRUCK KILLED BABY

A damage suit for $4,000 against
j. r. Gottfredsen, beverage distributor,
of 78 North Main street, brought by
Mr.. and Mrs. Herman QuardQokus, OF
1401 Salem avenue, went to trial
in the circuit court today before Judge
E. B. Belden.
The action is the outgrowth of an
accident which occurred on July "a,
last year, when Walter Larsen, driving
a truck owned by Gottfredsen, struck
and killed Gerald Quardokus, aged 2,
as he toddled out into Salem avenue.
Larsen was Immediately arrested on
a granddaughter charge, which was
later dismissed.
At the opening of the trial this
morning Mrs. Quardokus, mother OF
the dead child, took the stand and
retold the story of how while her back
was turned for moment, the baby
escaped from her and started out into
the street. She screamed a warning
and started after the baby, but too
late to prevent him being struck
by the truck.
Ran Half Block.
Walter Larsen was in court today
and is expected to take the stand
sometime during the afternoon. At
the time of the coroners inquest he
testified that he saw the baby too late
to swerve the heavy machine and avoid
hitting him. He stated that after he
saw him disappear under the machine
he became confused and allowed the
machine to travel more than half a
block before bringing it to stop.
At the inquest it was brought out
chat he had taken one drink of liquor
earlier in the afternoon and this was
one of the reasons why Frank SYM
nonds, then district attorney, insisted
on the inanslaughter warrant Testi-
mony at that time, however, failed to
support the states contention that
Larsen was intoxicated at the time,
and the charge was later dropped.
The case will probably go to the
jury sometime late tomorrow. The
interets of the family are being cared
for by Attorney Roy S. Stephenson,
while the defense case is in the hands
of Attorney Edward Ruetz. :

MAY BRING DOG
FROM THE WEST
Josephine JacOby Wires
District Attorney here
from Los Angeles.
r.,
PERMISSION GIVEN

/
If the dog is mans most faithful
friend in the world of soft animal
life. that impinges on ours, surely that
devotion is often repaid with interest
on the part Of human beings.
Here is case where a telegram
few over the wires all the way from
Los Angeles to the district attorney
of Kenosha county, about dog. The
mistress wanted to bring her dog, and
could she? Miss Josephine Jacoby, the
owner of the dog, now in California,
is well-known violinist~ of Kenosha.
May Mister Dog Come Here?
This is the message received by Dis
trict Attorney Morris Barnett: "Have
been advised to wire and ask you
whether or not you will admit my dog
lin your state coming from California.
Can get federal permit for release
from the government. Am having him
properly dipped and Grated by the
authorities before leaving. Please
wire and answer Immediately"
This is the answer sent at once by
Mr.. Barnett: "No objections. Ship dog
under directions as stated"
The reason for all this caution SUR.
rounding the pet developed, it was
learned, through the virulence of the
hoof and mouth disease among cattle
in the Pacific coast region. Because Of
the raging Of the disease there is an
embargo upon cattle from that sec.
ton under the state laws Of Wiscon-
sin.
However, with the precaution taken
with regard to Mister Dog by the
authorities in Los Angeles as stated
by the owner of the dog, the district
attorney here felt confident that doggy
would arrive without any germs in his
sleek coat.
Certainly doggy ought to be salts
fed and arrive in Kenosha at last with
wagging tail and bark of delight.
