Yesterday Afternoon.
RIGHT OF CITY TO DESTROY
ANIMALS IS QUESTIONED
Attorney Has Been Consulted
and If Referendum Fails Case
May Go to Courts.
Declaring that the so called dog or
dinance oassed at the last meeting
of the city council is a violation of the
laws of the state and an injustice to
owners, a number of prominent busi
ness men this morning announced to
a Democrat representative that they
proposed to invoke the referendum
against the ordinance.
it is pointed out by those who will
take the initiative in the matter that
dogs are personal propery and that
the owners are (assessed and taxed
on this property' on the assessment
roll of the county. They contend that
a dog is the same in the eyes of the
law as a cow and while they recognize
the right of the municipal authorities
to impound stray animals they con
tend they do' not have a legal right
to kill them because of a violation of
the provisions of the new ordinance.
It is claimed that the provisions
are both unreasonable and unjust tu
the owners. An attorney has been
consulted and in the event that the
referendum fails, it is understood that
a test case will be made tor the
purpose of ascertaining if the ordin
ance will be upheld by the higher
courts.
It is understood that the city au
thorities claim that the ordinance in
question is not subject to the referend
um because it contains an emergency
clause, but those advocating the ret
erendum claim that irrespective of
the claims of the authorities it can
be invoked.
1'eter Ilarget and family, of Har
rishurg, were in this city this af
ternoon. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wheat were in
the city yesterday. Mr. Wheat is a
prominent member of the U. S. geo

Mrs. E. 11. Rhodes and grandson,
El wood, returned this afternoon from
a three months visit in the east, be

Norman Ilaitinger, age 19, an em
ployee of the Southern Pacific rail
road was the victim of a cutting
scrape yesterday afternoon near the
depot when an unknown railroad la
borer stabbed his right hand with a
pocket knife in a fight that ensued
following words between the two.
According to a report, young Bait
inger had left the depot about 4:30
o'clock on a speeder to deliver a mes
sage at the car shops. Prior to his
arriving there, a number of laborers
were loitering near the tracks and
one of them had placed a rock on the
track which caused the speeder to
run off the rails, according to the
story told the police by liaitinger,
who was hurled to the ground with
terrific force. He jumped up utter
ing an oath, replaced the speeder and
proceeded to his destination. How
ever, when he returned, he stated
that one of the laborers was laying
for him. He stopped the speeder and
the two passed a few words which re
sulted in blows and the stabbing of
the young man.
A warrant for the arrest of the un
known laborer has been issued and
upon his interception the case will
come up this afternoon in the police
court. Young Baitinger's injury is
not serious.

GOOD TASTE WITH ECONOMY
In artistic beauty Colonial Dra

ideas that are entirely original.
They have also gained charm by
modern methods of printing and
of producing rich colors and ex

possible in the Colonial days.
