END FIGHT OVER
DOG OWNERSHIP
Twenty Witnesses Called

Over Pet.

If a police dog had known an old
proverb-one can not serve two
masters-he might have saved at
torneys and Municipal Judge Dan
V. White a lot of trouble Friday.
Instead, the dog answered the
call Of two men, each claiming to
be his owner. and complicated the
fight between two families for his
custody.
BY markings and tricks enough
to start side show, Charles M.
Stephens, salesman of 1854 Guilford
avenue. hopes to prove the dogs

Likewise, z. c. Yount, broker, of
Abs Washington boulevard, defend
ant in a replevir suit brought by
Stephens, hopes to identify the dog
as his own pet, Fritz
No Witnesses Called
Twenty witnesses were to testify
before Judge White decided the
case today.
Stephens contends he bought
Fang when a pup, from David
M, Jordan, an Irvington resident.
1T looks like the dog we sold
to Stephens in 1881" Mrs. Jordan
testified.
A police officer, called when Ste
phens found the dog at the Yount
home. Sept. 30, supported Stephens
testimony he had taught the dog
many tricks.
In Custody of Son
Il saw the dog, at Stephens
command, open door, bring
newspaper, go to the basement for
a can of dog food and carry a pan
from the yard into the house." the
officer declared.
Stephens alleges his dog ran away
three times. Last time. he charged,
the dog was found at Younts home,
but broke loose and jumped into his
own car when he went for it.
( Until the trial ends, the dog will
be in custody of Charles Stephens
Jr., who brought it into court. The
dog was in quarantine several days
when Yount supposedly had OBJ
tanned an order from the health
board. The quarantine ended when
health authorities said the order was
not official.
