 After rislling his own life and tha or a friend in saving a stray doG
 from drowning, Tony Bonner O
 Mountain View was fined in cour yesterday afternoon because tht , animal, which he had been holdins , for its owner, was found to be un. licensed. Bonner was one of eight alleged violators of the dog ouaran.
 tine who had been rounded up by Dog Warden Philip Marine and Constable Clesson Saunders in the
 eastern section of the town, All eight were found guilty, but final disposition Tn the Bonner case and that of John Kopiczinski was with held.
 Bonner was defended by Attorney Charles r. Conlon, who placed the mans l0year- old son on the witness
 stand. The youth testified that last
 May during the spring freshets he
 had seen the dog, chained to a log,
 floating down the river and in dan
 ger of drowning. He ran to tell his
 father, and Bonner and a compan-
 ion were able to rescue the canine at the risk of their own lives. They
 finally located it's owner, but the man moved out of town and they lost touch with him. Bonner was still waiting to hear from the man when the warden arrested him, he testified. Attorney Conlon claimed that Zcnner's case was exceptional and that he coud not be expected to license another mans dog.
 konicZinski was also defended by Attorney Conlon, who claimed that his client. with family of ten chil- dren, was almost destitute at pres ent and would be unable to pay a fine with heavy costs. Such q yer dict, he said, would mean not only that there would be no Christmas in the Kopiczinski family, but that it would also be deprived of the nec- essities of life.
 The others who appeared before Justice William Cunningham were Peter Scudzik, John Fall. Barone t'ideli. John Ferraro. Martin Nal oandian. and Tony Catucci. They | were prosecuted by Grand Juror | William J. Foran. Each was fined '10 and costs, s9 being rcmitted. | The costs came to s12.7s in each ,ase.
