for dogs. B , •11(10 also claimed the animal.
We do not pretend to discuss the ownership,
and for aught we can tell the entire party
have an equal claim. The matter could"- nut
be settled amicably and a resort to arm/ was
had, which resulted In a charge of assault and

until late in the morning, working their]
way through the obstructions, and search-
