Many alleged relatives of the‘ dog in dispute were brought into court| and it looked for a time as if there would | be a free fight among them.

William Finnigan, saloon-keeper, Larkin | street and Golden Gate avenue, testified | | that he knew “Matt” well and every time the dog would enter his saloon it would make a jump for a plate contalning | ginger snaps. Sullivan claimed that the dog belonged to him and said it was stolen from him and during the parade last Labor day he saw it heading the Woodcarvers' Union. | He broke through the crowd and secured | possession of the dog. It was stolen from | | him again and the next time he saw it | | Bartholomew had it. | For the other side Mrs. Jennie Bell or; | Oakland testified that the dog’s name | | was “Jack” and it was born on January |11, 1%2.
