THE DOG IS PROPERTY IN TEXAS. 



SAN ANGELO, Tex., Nov. 'd— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 _ I send you an important decision just rendered by our 

 Court of Appeals (wMch is here the final court in all crimi- 

 nal cases), establishing the principle that the dog is prop- 

 erty and a subject of larceny. All Texas sportsmen indorse 

 and feel a just pride in this decision, and hereby extend to 

 our brethren elsewhere an invitation to come and hunt with 

 us. assuring them of full orotection to themselves and their 

 dogs. MiLTOK MAT.S. 



Henry Hurley vs. State: appeal from Bexar. 



Conviction for the theft of a dog with the punishnieut 

 fixed at two years in the penitentiary. Whether a dog is 

 the subject oi! larceny under our statute is a point not raised 

 by counsel either in the court a quo or in this court. So far 

 as the coui-t is advised, this is the first conviction in this 

 State of a felony for stealing a dog. Mr. Justice Wheeler 

 said in State vs. Marshall that by the common law the steal- 

 ing of a dog does not amount to larceny (13 Tex. 58). But by 

 statute in England severe penalties are inflicted for stealing 

 them. In Cooper vs. State (3 Ct. App. 489) this court held 

 that dogs are not recognized as other property and are not 

 subject to an ad valorem tax. Mt. Bishop says: "Of those 

 animals of which there can be no larceny, though reclaimed, 

 are dogs, cats, polecats, coons, etc. These animals may 

 when reclaimed have a recognized value and the right of 

 property in them be protected in civil jurisprudence, it is 

 otherwise in criminal." In Texas civil actions for negli- 

 gently and willfully killing them have been sustained (78 

 Tex. 300). 



Our statute provides that " within the meaning of per- 

 sonal property which may be the suhject of theft are 

 included all domesticated animals or birds when they are 

 proved to be of any specific value.'' By another statute it is 

 made an offense to wound, poison or disfigure any horse, 

 mule, swine, dog or other domesticated animwl. In Maine 

 it was held that dogs are not domestic animals, but there 

 was a dissenting opinion which the court quotes with 

 approval. "A dog is the subject of ownership. Trespass 

 will lie for an injury to him. Trover is maintainable for his 

 conversion. Replevin will lie. An action may be had for 

 his price. He is a domestic animal. From the time of the 

 pyramids to the present day, from the frozen pole to the 

 ton'id zone, wherever man has been, there has been his dog. 

 Cuvier has asserted that the dog was perhaps necessary for 

 the establishment of civil society. He is the friend and 

 companion of his master, accompanying him in his walks, 

 his servant aiding him in hunting, the j)laymate of his 

 children, an inmate of his house, protecting it from all 

 assailants." In New York it was held that the term "per- 

 sonal property" included dogs, and that the stealing of a 

 dog was therefore larceny. The court in that case said : 

 The reason generally assigned by common law writers for 

 the rule is the basene'ss of their nature and the fact that they 

 were kept for whim or pleasure. When we call to mind the 

 small spaniel that saved the life of William of Orange and 

 thus probably changed the current of modern history, and 

 the faithfurst. Bernards, which, after a storm has swept 

 the crests and sides of the Alps, start out in search of lost 

 travelers, the claim that the nature of the dog is essentially 

 base and that he should be left a prey to every vagabond 

 who chooses to steal him will not now receive ready assent. 



Under our statute there can be no question but that the 

 dog comes in with the term domesticated animals, and as 

 such is the subject of theft. The dog stolen was a fine 

 pointer and was worth at least S50. Bills of exception pi-e- 

 sent no error. Affirmed. Opinion by White, P. J. 



DOG CHAT. 



"VrO better country than that around Bicknell, Ind., could 

 be chosen to hold field trials on. Game is very plenti- 

 ful, a bag of 50 quail being an ordinary day's occurrence. 

 Bevies are large and strong on the wing, and as for hares 

 they are as plentiful as the most industrious pot-hunter 

 could vpish. The land is well tilled, the farms all looking 

 thrifty, in wide contrast to the deserted wilds of North 

 Carolina round High Point and Lexington. The United 

 States Field Trial Club have leased about 4,000 acres for five 

 years and the land is posted. Most of the fields are from 30 

 to 50 acres in extent. 



Bicknell is a pretty village of about 700 inhabitants and 

 essentially a farming community, though a couple of coal 

 mines near give employment to about 50 men. The villagers 

 and farmers take a great interest in the trials and are 

 sociably inclined, unlike the High Point and Lexington 

 people, who seem to hold aloof from all association with the 

 field trial element. 



The winning of the Pointer Derby and All- Aged Stake 

 must be very gratifying to the Hunter Brothers, in their 

 own State, J.^'H. Hunter living only about 12 miles from 

 Bicknell, at Sanborn, Ind. We heard that during the week, 

 on the field, Mr. Hunter was offered S'300 for Black Wonder, 

 and having won ^400 with him they would have realized, 

 had he accepted, a neat sum out of a dog that, while not by 

 any means a brilliant performer, is an honest worker, but 

 not much to look at. 



The Blue Ridge Kennel victory in the Setter Derby was a 

 popular one and the presence of Mr. Pabst would have made 

 the joy of the other owners, Hulmanand O'Baunon, complete. 

 As there is no photographer here, our "Hawkey e" snaps on 

 the winning dogs must wait till next week for publication. 

 The above kennel purchased Hope's Mark from Mr. Janan 

 the first day of the meeting, and thus with Bob Cooper were 

 able to take first and second prizes. Hope's Mark was bred 

 and raised by Mr. D. E. Rose, who handled him, selling him 

 about three months since to Mr. Janan, consequently Mi'. 

 Rose is very proud of the pup and hopes in the East" to do 

 just as well. There is no reason why he should not, as the 

 ilog is excellently trained, has lots of bird sense and is quite 

 fast enough. This is Rose's year evidently, and he has a 

 good string, for at this writing it looks as if the All-Aged 

 Setter Stake would come very near his kennel. The Brue 

 Ridge Kennel gave an oyster supper with champagne fixings 

 at the hotel, Thursday night, to commemorate their victoiy. 

 Some waggish handler wrote on the blackboard in the office: 

 "We Hoped to win, but the dogs Bobbed round so that they 

 left us with but Wun Lung." This was a little nistic wit 

 that elicited rounds of applause. Hope's Mark, Bob Cooper 

 and Wun Lung, the three winners in Setter Derby, were 

 handled by D. E. Rose, and this winning certainly beat the 

 handlers' record, capped as it is by Hope's Mark absolute win 

 of Derby. No one begrudges him his good kick for he is gen- 

 tlemanly and quiet in manner, and very evidently a kind 

 trainer with his dogs. 



Mrs. Smyth, owner of the Swiss Mountain Kennels, has 

 purchased the St. Bernard bitches Lady Blanca (Kastlehorn 

 — Topsey) and Geraldine (Kastlehorn— QEda II.) from Mr. 

 James Watson, who latelj' imported them. They are said 

 to be pretty good specimens, Geraldine especially, she stand- 

 ing 31Kiii-; and is a big-boned animal. With the bitches 

 already In this kennel, Mrs. Smyth has now a very nice, 

 even team. 



We were pleased to meet Col. Sloo, one of the judges, 

 down at the trials at Bicknell. He is County Clerk of Knox 

 county, Ind., and a general favorite. Ever ready to volun- 

 teer information as to the work of the dogs while running, 

 we take this occasion to acknowledge his kind aid, whicii 



helped us materially in our report, his six feet four of solid 

 humanity enabling him to see several little points which we 

 otherwise would have missed. 



Spratts Co. informs us that they have received the news 

 that their London house is sending over the St. Bernard dog 

 Keeper, Jr. (?) for Mr. W. C. Reicli, and also two more Bar- 

 zois, a dog and bifeh, from Russia, for Mr. Paul H. Hacke. 



Inclosed find draft to pay my subscription for another 

 year to the best dog piper in America. You always manage 

 to get the latest and best news, and, better than all, it is 

 always reliable.— A. W. Smith (Buffalo, N. Y.). This .seems 

 to be the opinion shared by many others. 



Mr. R. M. Isherwood. publisher of the. Times at Delphi, 

 Ind., has probably the largest pupoy of its age ever raised in 

 America. It is a rough-coated St. Bernard, bred by .John W. 

 Farnof, at the Illinois St. Bernard Kennels, and weighed 

 123J<lb8. at six months of age. 



Champion Elcho, Jr., died last Monday at Harry Good- 

 man's kennels. Auburn, 111. The death of the dog takes from 

 us the most typical Iinsh setter in America during the past 

 decade. He was by Elcho out of Noreen, and was about ten 

 years old.

The second annual dote show of the Central Citv Kennel

 Dr. Edwin L. Kimball is secretary. 



We note the following from the Shootiihfi Tinies (London) 

 of Oct. 24; "The Barzoi Zerry arrived in London in excel- 

 lent condition and a credit to the butcher of the National 

 liner who looked after her. Zcrry is on exception all j'^ fine 

 bitch, fawn in color, •<^th a lovely body, shoulders, legs and 

 feet. I think she is the best I have seen, bar Pagooba " As 

 the writer of the above is the owner of the noted Barzoi 

 Whirlwind, such comment of the bitch must be very grati- 

 fying to Mr. H. W. Huntington, who owns her. Zeiry was 

 sent over to be bred to the best Barzoi dog in England', and 

 considering she is criticised as being next best to Pagooba 

 (the best in England), her pups ought to be exceptionally 

 fine, 



Mr. H. W. Wilson, of Ballardvale, Mass., has purchased 

 of the Anglo-American Terrier Kennels a little bitch puppy 

 four months old, by Toon's Royal from Tipsy, which is less 

 than a pound in weight and as smart as a cricket. This lit- 

 tle one hids fair to give other American-bred ones a severe 

 rub, as it has a grand body on the best of legs, showing 

 much quality. 



A meSfing of the executive committee of the Irish Setter 

 Club is called for Thursday, Nov. 19, at 5 P. M., at the resi- 

 dence of Mr. Child, 634 Race street, Philadelphia; also one 

 to meet at High Point during the progress of the same. 



We have received §10 from Mr. A. H. Moore for the St. 

 Bernard Hospice Fund. 



The Washington City Kennel Club will hold a show on 

 the dates March 8, 9, 10 and 11, 1892. It has been arranged 

 so that Washington can have the dates previously given the 

 Maryland Club, they having abandoned their intention of 

 holding a show next year.

 over his body where the hair had come ofi', leaving skin bare, but 

 no signs of soreness: I have treated him with carbolic vaseline, but 

 he is no better. The other broke out with a number of sores about 

 awpck ago; the puppy scratches these until they bleed, they then 

 heal up with a hard scale andoeasetotrout'lehim; he has not been 

 troubled long enough to have any scabs fall off. but baa som^^ new

THE ORDNANCE REPORT. 



Washington, D. C— The annual report of the Chief of Ord- 

 nance, U. S, A., ready for transmission to Coiigress, describes at 

 length the exhaustive experiments made by the department with 

 magazine small arms, including the latest European models. On 

 this sublect the report says: "The radical change from a caliber 

 of .45in. (otu' present service standard), to the much smaller one 

 of .30, the use of the long and narrow cartridge thereby necessi- 

 tated, and the introduction of the smokeless powder for impart- 

 ing a greatly increased velocity to the bullet without subjecting 

 the barrel and breech system to undue augmented strain, have 

 all operated to retard the efl:orts of American inventors to perfect 

 their guns, and the result is that but few magazine guns of Ameri- 

 can design have yet been brought before the board. To assist in- 

 ventors the department has sofd at cost price caliber .30 barrels 

 and smokeless powder CBrtriages for such preliminary experi- 

 ments as they might desire to make. A number have availed 

 themselves of these opportunities, and will probably soon have 

 their inventions ready for trial by the board. The elaboration o£ 

 a magazine system suitable for the military service is an opera- 

 tion requiring not only ingenuity, hut both time and patience to 

 bring it to perfection. 



"Experience has demonstrated the ability of American inven- 

 tors to produce the best small arms in the world adapted to the 

 conditions which formerly existed. This department is doing all 

 in its power to afford American inventors an opportunity to 

 meet the requirements of new existing conditions. Reports of 

 foreign service indicate that continuous rapid firing may not be 

 expected in the use of the magazine gun, as it is limited by the 

 endurance of the soldier and the healing of the gun. Reports 

 from our army show that an expert soldier can fire the present 

 service Springfield single loader with the accuracy generally 

 needed in action about twenty times per minute. So far as 

 rapidity of flre alone is concerned, these repoT a reduce .somewhat 

 the almost universally estimated necessity for an immediate 

 change to a magazine system. It is important to state that up to 

 the present time the investigations made and knowledge gained 

 by this departmput have not demonstrated so much excellence in 

 the magazine arms which have been adoptoi by foreign nations 

 as was expected, and have not shown such perfection in any one 

 of them as could warrant its adoption for our service. It is hoped 

 that this country can produce a better arm, and until it can, or 

 certainly uutil it has been demonstrated that it cannot, it would 

 be wise to defer a change from the excellent single loader now in 

 service to a magazine system. No efforts will be spared lo arrive 

 at a satisfactoi-y magazine arm." 



The new caliber .-30 Springfield is said to have been very suc- 

 cessful with smokeless powder.
