Oct. 29.—A pet dog which lost its temper and bit a child has just paid the pen- alty with its life after a court trial which attracted attention throughout the country. Hoocker was the dog's name, and he was owned by Jesse Tur. ner. Hoccker had many-. tricks, such as standing on his hind legs almost like a person. He would jump through hoops, too, and was loved by the children. But one day Hoocker made a mistake by biting Boyd Crawford, grandson of Magistrate Judd of the Owsley County Fiscal Court at Scoville, in the mountains near here. A jury was summoned among the bystanders, but Hoocker was not represented by counsel— there was no one there to fight very hard to save him. So then and there Hoocker was taken out and shot. from| ! | | NEVER BEFORE HAS THERE BEEN SUCH A BATTLE Presidential Campaign Fin- ishing in Ever Increas- ing Political Emotion BOTH SIDES ARE FIGHTING FOR EAST | Friedrichshafen, Germany.
