Besides ths sppearanre of Thomas W.
Lawson In th west and the Omaha Young
Men'i Christian association building fund
campaign, another Important event Jotted
down during the last meek by historians
was the decision rendered at I p. m. Sat
urday by Justice of the Peace Altstadt In
the celebrated Bhields-IIowell dog case.
The hearing of the rase took up a whole
afternoon at the Altstadt court and the
Judge took eight days In which to take the
case under advisement. The decision Is In
favor of the defendant, Charles Howell,
grocery man at Eighteenth and Bt. Mary's
avenue. Hut the end Is not yet, as Martin
Shields (policeman), plaintiff, declares he
will appeal the case and make good his
former statement that he would carry the
case to the highest tribunal In the United
States and spend his last two-bit piece to
keep the dog.
Text of the Declsloa.
Justice Altstadt's decision reads:
In the caso of Martin Shields against
Charles Howell I have considered the evi
dence carefully and think this Is a very
difficult case for a Judge to decide. In the
first piace, there are twelve witnesses
whose credibility cannot be questioned and
who swear positively the dug in contro
versy belongs to the plaintiff; on the other
hand, there are sixteen equally as credible
witnesses who testify Just as positively that
the dng belongs to the defendant. There is
a mistake somewhere, either on one side
or the other. The burde n of proof is on the
plaintiff to show that he is the owner of
the property. In this case there are sixteen
witnesses for defendant, as against twelve
for the plaintiff, and defendant holds re
ceipt for taxes pnld on this dog for the last
three years. I cannot find the plaintiff has
proven ownership by u preponderance of
the evidence. 1 llnd from the evidence that
at the commencement of this action the
right of property and right of possession
taken on the writ of replevin was in the
defendant, and I assess the value of the
aald property at J50 and will enter Judgment
In favor of defendant for a return of the
roperty taken on the writ of replevin
lercln, or in case a return of said property
cannot be had that he recover of and from
aid plaintiff the value thereof assessed, IM,
together with the costs of the suit.
Justice Altstadt admitted that It took al
most the wisdom of Solomon to decide the
case, but "der shudge" Just hied himself
to his villa on South Sixteenth street, rolled
up his shirt sleeves, sat down beside a
pitcher of Ice water and at last reached a
decision with himself.
Martin Shields filed an appeal bond of
1200 Immediately after Judge Alstadt an
nounced his decision and declared his In
tention of carrying the case to the dis
trict court. Meanwhile the-plalntlff re
tains possession of. the dog and the cost
of the suit are accumulating.

A
THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
FROM THE
DRUMMOND CARRIAGE
GO.
Six weeks ago demands
were made on us by a cer
tain bank for the prompt
payment of $11,000.00,
suck demand being caused
through the death of the
president of our firm and
in settlement of his estate
through the courts.
We have advertised the
fact in the papers and
have offered big induce
ments from our large stock
of vehicles and harness to
raise the money.
We were surely in . the
soup for a while. We have
now crawled up on the
edge of the plate and wish
to say that the full amount
of the debt has been paid
the bank.
We wish to thank the
bank for its uniform cour
tesy and business qualifi
cations and we also appre
ciate the kindly attitude of
another bank which has
seen fit to help us over the
barbed wire entanglement
with both confidence and
cash.
We highly appreciate the
pleasant expressions from a host
of customers who have continu
ally wished us success and who
have paid their nccounts prompt
ly for our special benefit at this
particular time.
We have hundreds of Just such
customers, bVh ladles and gen
tlemen, who are with us year
nftpr year, nnd tholr good will
and good words are as satisfying
as their money.
ri
We will endeavor to give every
attention to tlie details of the
carriage busineNs, in the build
ing of new work as well as gen
eral repairing of Ironwork, wood
work, pa'ntlng and tramming,
rubber tire work. etc.
We have today the largest as
sortment in the city or state, of
high grade, standard makes
of Buggies and Carriages
phaetons, runabouts, surreys,
Country club wagons, depot
wagons, etc. No others carry the
variety of such vehicles, and onr
rock bottom prices still hold. h-J
Now is your chance for a good,
well built carriage at a cheap
carriage price.
We also Intend to give the mat
ter of Automobile repairs special
attention. We are well prepared
with large shop room and ex
perienced workmen for all re
pairs to wood or iron work or to
trimming or painting an Auto as
fine as a $5,000 car Is made to
day. Automobile customers come to
us the same as our carriage cus
tomers for any kind of careful
workmanship required. We have
changed end-door Autos lntq
side-doors. We build tops com
plete. In fact, we like Auto
mobiles as well as a carriage,
except the smell of the critter.
LASTLY We are not going
eut of the carriage business, bur
we believe that both ca-rlage and
auto work can be done under one
roof and we intend to give care
ful attention to the smallest de
tail of each business.
