He asserts It followed of its own canine volition, but Mr. Meyers declares the dog was coaxed. He gives as proof of his assertion that Mr. Smith tried to bor row the animal some time ago. At all events the dog followed along be hind Mr. Smith's rubber-tire vehicle, and when they passed the hopie of Mr. Ball It "flushed- a flock of his chickens and killed five of them. Mr. Ball asked Mr. Smith to' pay for the chickens, which the latter refused to do. ' On another occasion he passed the Ball home, with the same. dog following him, and tbe animal killed another chicken Again Mr. Smith declared the dog did not belong to him. So Mr. Ball came to tho city and saw the owner of the dog and the man it had followed. Mr. Smith paid for the last fowl killed and Mr. Myers for the other five.' "It stands to reason," said a friend of Mr. Myers Wednesday evening, "thnt the dog Was coaxed into fol lowing Mr. Smith, else he would have driven It back when It followed him the second time." .
