Atlantic City, Aug. 4 (UP)- Court authorities were thumbing musty law books today to learn if they could extradite Jiggers, Mrs. Dora Gaulker's fox terrier, and bring him back to New Jer- sey to face the death sentence im- posed on him.
 / After Mrs. Marie Prutowando had told the court how Jiggers ran out of the Kauker yard and bit her several times, Police Re corder Joseph Altman gave Mrs. Gauker until 10:3O yesterday to destroy the terrier. If not killed by then, Jiggers was to be shot by the police.
 But when an officer called at the home to learn if the laws penalty had been carried out, he learned Jiggers and his mistress had gone to New York and did not expect to come back soon.

MENCKEN ID WE'D WOMAN AUTHOR
Noted Bachelor. SuCCumbS to
 Feminine WleS at 49

New York, Aug TP)-H. L. Mencken, famed almost as much for his bachelorhood as for his iconoc- lastic writings, will marry Miss Sara Haardt, also an author, next month.

 Says Bachelors Lucky
 "Bachelors are the luckiest men in the world, if not the happiest," Mencken once said to Mrs. Walter Ferguson, who inferred they spent most of their time annoying mar ried ladies'"
 T wouldn't trade my bachelor hood for. anything. It's just like sitting in an easy chair and watch ing two clowns antic on the stage"
 The announcement did not reveal whether the wedding. which is set for Sept. 3, would be a church cere- mony On this point. however. Mencken once expressed himself:
 Church weddings are primitive orgies in the worst of taste Being married with all your friends about you is about as private and dis eliminating as eating in the window of q restaurant"
 Mss Haardt met Mencken while she was teaching English at Boucher college, from which she was grad uated in 1920. The editor took an interest in her career while she contributed to the Smart Set. of which he was o-editor, and assisted her along the road to literary prominence. She has been a regu- lar contributor to the American ! Mercury since Mencken started edit ing it. She soon will publish her first novel.
 Author of Many oBoks Mencken, who is 49. is the author of numerous books, mostly criticism and many newspaper. and magazine articles. Among his best known works are "The American Lan- guage,' Tn Defense of Women,' l "Prejudices," "Damn-A Book of Calumny," and The American | Credo."

It was at this point that the police began their work, and it ended by Stanley paying s10 to the city, and his brother. Andrew, paying s5. both for committing a breach of the peace.
