DOG CASE TAKES TIME OF COURT

William Waking is Acquitted of Cruelty to Dog of Alonzo Swallow. CANINE KILLED BY HIM DEFENSE MAL'S IS MADE OF THE ANIDOCILE CHARACTER AND HIS MERITS LAUDED BY PROSECUTING ATTORNEY. William Waking was acquitted of the charge of cruelty to. animals in 'the Wayne , Circuit Court yesterday afternoon. The jury was out just twenty minutes. Waking was charged with killing Alonzo Swallow's family dog, with out any cause whatsoever. Swallow lives near Cambridge City and Waking shot the dog as he was passing the Swallow farm on his motor cycle. He claimed tiat ttie dog was vicious and tried to bite him. The case was advanced from a Justice of the Peace Court to the Wayne Circuit court where according to Judge Henry C. Fox, the trial of such a case was greatly to the detriment of the dignity of the court. The case was spiced with rare legal wit and humor and evidence, the like of which had never been heard within the august walls was produced. The defense of a dog's character and the statements that he was of a docile, nature and capable of athletic stunts which would make an athlete look amazed were made. One witness ou the stand stated that the dog , could easily circle around an automobile which was going at the rate of fifteen miles an hour. 'Attorney for the defense, Henry U. Johnson, stated in his argument: "The fact of this case hangs on the tail of that dog. It is alleged that he was a Shepard and that species of dog has a bushy tail, yet by the state ment of the prosecuting witness that dog had but little hair on his tail. The issue of the case is between man and dog and I'm for the man, while my worthy Prosecutor is for the dog." Xo case ever tried in the Circuit Court received the jesting and lack of dignified consideration that this received yesterday, and it was the opinion of many that it should never have been admitted- to trial there. Attorney Johnson, in speaking of his connection with it, stated in ludricous vein: "I have never felt the dignity of my profession as I have in tne defense of this 'Dog case. Judge Fox stated that honors -were falling fast upon him and that he 'now numbered several courts under his rule, the Wayne Circuit, Probate, Juvenile and the Dog court. CAMBRIDGE CITY.

By and by they came to a handsome tablet on the right of the pulpit. "That." explained the good man, "is a memorial tablet erected to the mem ory of the late vicar." "There now! Ain't it beautiful?" exclaimed the admiring old lady, stili flustered and anxious to please. "And I'm sure. sir. I 'ope it won't be long afore we see one erected to" you on t'other side" London Tit-Bits.

London. Oct. 19. The Bank of England raised its discount rate to 6 per cent. Changes in the discount rate iir the bank on any day except Thursday have been few and far between, and not since Nov. 71S90, just before file Baring failure, has the rate been put to 6 per cent. The relapse in American exchange, indicating a renewal in the demands for gold, and the probability of large withdrawals of the metal for Egypt, seemed to have contributed to the action taken by the Bank of England. A director of the Bank of England stated: "There is no financial or political trouble. Action was taken to protect our reserves in view of heavy fresh Eyptian demands and fear of further American withdrawals." Effect In New York. New York, Oct. 19. In connection with the increase of the bank rate of the Bank of England there was a good deal of speculation in Wall street during the early hours, and many disquieting rumors were set afloat. Inquiry among tho banks doing a heavy foreign business put these rumors effectually at rest. A vice president of one of the leading banks said: "The increase in the London bank is easily accounted for. The reserve of the bank has been depleted until Thursday it reached 18,000,000 pounds sterling. Friday there was a draft for .800,000 pounds to go to Egypt." Home Rule For Ireland.'
