WHAT THEY SAY
J
MARSHAL Carter and the Marsh
fleld city council aro pounderlng on a
question. It is tho question of a dead
dog. Now ordinarily tho only ques
tion about a dead dog would bo
where to inter tho souless carcass.
This particular inhabitant of tho
spirit world, however, had tho mis
fortune to becomo tangled up in tho
dog license ordinance and a result
ant train ojt puzzling complication
has blazoned his trail to the happy
hunting grounds, which even some of
tho moro astute minds of tho city
council havo been unable to solve.
It happened like this: Beforo tho
demise occurred tho owner tendered
Marshal Carter tho aum of $2.50, in
lieu of which he received a brass
license and a guarantee that for one
year from said date said dog could
run, bark, bite not too hard in
dulge in playful gambol with other
licensed dogs in Marshfleld such as
fighting with "Skookum" or chasing
rubber balls In front of tho Blanco
hotel on sunshiny days chase un
wary chickens on the Marshfleld
waterfront, in fact enjoy all those
pastimes so dear to doghood with
out fear of connection with tho iron
hand of the law. List' what hap
pened gentle reader. Tho dog died.
Died before he got a chance to wear
tho license Insignia. Died on the
very threshold of another year's law
ful existence. What's to be done?
That $2.50 looks awful good to the
city. It looks awful good to tho own
er of tho dead dog too. Of course
Marshal Carter will return him the
tag If he wants It, notwithstanding
that ho delivered It Into tho Marsh
al's hands shortly after tho dog had
lifted the veil of the Great Beyond.
Tho tag is new too. A nice shiny i
brass tag with tho licensee's number
engraved on it. Absolutely tho tag
has never been used. Confidenti
ally, if tho thing ever gets in the
courts, these facts will be mitigat
ing that Is they will mitigate
against tho owner of tho dead dog.
But that Is neither here nor there.
Tho question is what's to bo done
with tho two hundred and fifty cents.
Tho dog never got tho benefit of
them. Never got to wear tho tag.
Marshal Carter can sell the tag to
some other 'dog owner for $2.50, be
cause as has been stated tho tag Is
In absolutely the samo condition
as when It came from tho tag fac
tory with the other tags. Of course
you will say that tho tag had ought
to have been tagged to tho dog be
foro he left and thus avoid all this
mpllcatlon. but tho point Is that
It wasn't, done. Tho tag Is hero.
Of courso you may say again that
a middle courso could be adopted
and tho tag bo dedicated to tho
Marshfleld school children to play
tag with. But that doesn't affect
tho question. Tho owner bought tho
tag, to tag tho dog, tho dog Is dead,
the tag Is hero. Had ho tagged tho
dog while tho dog was hero tho dog
and tag would havo gone together.
So It Is obvious that not tagging tho
tag upon tho dog tho tag still re
mains to be disposed of. Will some
one kindly inform the members of
tho city council upon this matter so
as to enablo them to dispose of tho
W street ferry.
