The Law When a Dod Bites You I
AFTBR yo hare paid a quick -visit to
the Pasteur Institute aad have recov-
ered physically you will turm your
aUestioa most likely to the question of. your
ability to recover damages from the owaer
I the dog that hit you. Who is liable for
Jhe damage you have sustained?
0e law on this subject is very clear al-
teough the principles Involved are sometimes
Bdeapolfed even by judges. Primarily the
oiraer of an animal is liable for whatever
damage it does if he has been guilty of the
slightest negKgence In maintaining it
This rale is modified however in the case
of ordinary domestic animals such as horses
dogs. cats cows etc In the case of such ani-
mals the owner is liable only if (1) the ani-
mal was of a vicious disposition and (2) he
had knowledge of the evil propensities.
The first thing to do is to ascertain whether
the dog was really of. a vicious disposition.
Inquiries ot the neighbors will usually elicit
this information. Then you must prove that
the owner knew ot the animal's evil character.
The requirement that a person injured by
a dog must prove that the owner knew the
dog was vicious has led to the oft-repeated
fallacy that "every dog is entitled to one
Trite." As a matter of fact however if your
dog ie vicious and you know it you are just
s liable for the first injury he inflicts as for
subsequent injuries. The error with regard
to this point has developed from the fact that
In order to prove the owner's knowledge ot
Ws animal's vieious propensities it is usually
possible to prove that the animal has mis-
conducted itself before from which the in-
ference has been unwarrantably drawn that
unless you can prove that the dog has bitten
some one before you cant recover damages
in other words "the dog is entitled to his
rst bii-"
ADVERTS M
GATHERJJ DALLAS
Welcomed to the State by
Governor Colquitt; a
Great Parade.
Dallas Texas May 20. Advertis-
ing men from all parts of the nation
reached Dallas today each delegation
coming with some startling variety of
noise or decoration designed to im-
press others with the importance of
the particular town from which each
hailed.
It was the signal for the beginning
of the annual meeting of the Associat-
ed Advertising clubs of America.
Prior to the parade there were wel-
coming addresses by governor Col-
qmt and mayor Holland. At a second
business session reports of commit-
tees were heard and advertising men
told of improvements in their methods
of work.
Julius Schneider in an address on
"the organization needs of retail ad-
vertising" said the great and glaring
fault of most big retail advertising
is inefficient administraton due to n-
sufficient expenditure for organiza-
tion. "Three kinds of retail advertising
organizations to my mind seem neces-
sary" he said.
"First proper -organization and an
appreciation of the sphere of the ad-
vertising department of America's big
stores.
"Second organization of the retail-
ers in each community for the pur-
pose of working with the national
advertisers for mutually profitable re-
sults through national campaigns in
local newspapers.
"Third organization of the small
retailer or specialty shops to give
him as good an advertising service as
his big and overshadowing department
store competitor."
The membership of the Associated
Advertising cub of America has in-
creased nearly 70 per cent in the last
year president George W. Coleman
said in his annual speech.

DEATHS AND BURIALS

win founder of the Baldwin sanitarium

porarily with the view of removing it

Edwards C. S. Henning. Dr. K. L.

ALiAX McCANX.
Allan McCann. 3 year eld son of Mr
and Mrs. Allan 6. McCann died of
meningitis Monday morning at the
family residence 718 Roosevelt street
The body has been buried in Evergreen
cemetery.
WIM.IAX PAYTOX.
William Payton died Sunday at his
home 509 East Rio Grande street. He
was a Knight of Pythias. The lodge
of Pythians will have charge of the
services which will be held Tuesday.
X. S. HOLIDAY.
X. & Holiday. 4 years died Sunday
in an EI Paso hospital. The body was
shipped to Little Rock Ark his home.
R. BLOSSOM.
R. Blossom died Sunday afternoon in
East El Paso. The body will be
shipped to Cleveland O. his home.
But the owner's knowledge of his doc's
dangerous temper may be shown in many
other ways. Thus It would be quite permis-
sible to show that you yourself had warned
the owner of his dog's viciousness or you
might be able to prove that the owner bad
warned his own family not to go near the
animal The fact that a dog is usually kept
muzzled or chained is admissible evidence
on the point and so too the fact that the
dog was in the habit of running out and
snapping at p ssers-by.
"Where by teasing an animal you bring
the injury upon yourself you cannot recover
damages even though you can show that the
dog was of a vicious disposition and that the
owner knew it nor is the owner liable for
injuries which his dog inflicts upon a tres-
passer. But if you enter a man's domain in a proper
manner upon a legitimate errand you are not
considered a trespasser even though you had
no express permission or invitation to be
there and if you are injured by a vickws
dog under such circumstances and can prove
that the owner was aware of its propensities
you may recover damages for your injuries.
Where a man owns a dog which he knows
to be vicious it is his duty to keep the dog
under such restraint that injury cannot come
to those who legitimately enter his premises.
Merely putting a "Beware of the Dog" sign
above the animal's kennel will not relieve
hi from liability unless the peneon Injured
disregarded the sign and thus brought the in-
jury upon himself.
Nor is it any defense for the owner of a
vicious dog to show that he kept the animal
chained up if the chain be long esouga
to enable the dog to reach passersby. In
other words the owner of a vicious dog must
take such precautions as to make it impos-
sible to injure others or he will have to an-
swer for the consequences.
The safest course for the owner to follow i
when an animal shows vicious tendencies is
to get rid of it at once instead of trying to'
keep it under restraint
