Steen Awarded
$425 In Suit
Against City
Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Steen Jr„
were awarded $425 in court set-
tlement by the City of Denison
in their suit against the city lor
the shooting of their pet dog
some months ago. The Steens were
awarded $550 by the jury in the
59th District Court at Sherman
on May 27 at the second trial in
the suit, before Judge W. C.
Dowdy. The plaintiff agreed Xo
settle for $425 and pay court costs,
and Mayor Glidden moved that the
offer be taken, after a recom
mendation to that effect was made
by the City Attorney Bill Malone.
Voicing their sentiments on the
case the t,wo commissioners,
George Stratton and Babe HaJian
said that they did not favor the
settlement; that the Incident could
start a veritable landslide of simi-
lar suits, and that they would like
to take the matter to the highest
courts, but this way was the
cheaper one for the city.
The suit grew out of the shoot-
ing of the Steen's dog during a
rabies scare a year ago. The
Steen's claimed the dog was vac
cinated, in his own yard, and was
not bothering anybody. City pa
trolmen, acting on orders from the
City commission shot the dog in
their raids on stray dogs at that
time.
As an outcome of the incident,
and assistant treasurer; Frost Jus-
tiss and O. G. Osburn, assistant
secretaries and assistant treasur-
ers; C. S. Foster and A. J. Klein-
man, assistant treasurers; and Eu-
gene C. Wood, assistant secretary,

Along the
the love they should bear, is based
not only on the natural affection,
but on the fact the child owes that
to the one (who is their father. Re-
spect and devotion, honor and
consideration by the child for the
parent lies at the basis of our
home, state and national safety.
When that relation is lost, the
state of decay in the family and
world is at a low stage. That's why
God said "so shall thy days be
long in the land,"
We tried to emphasize that
thought in a message we delivered
on father's day. It is basic. It is
needed. There are no lowering of
standards in that field unless it is
to bring on decadence and perish-
ing, of all ideals worthy of human
respect and consideration.
Absolm threw himself away try-
ing to cheat his father by duplic-
ity and propaganda. His father
still loved him and would Save
died for him.
Joseph was the envy of his
brethren, but loved by his father.
He was sold into slavery, but he
was a son ,who respected his fath-

to his family, in addition to fill-
ing a link in that chain which con-
nected the plan of Almighty God in
bringing the Savior into the world
for man.
