B ' ONLY A “YAUER” DOG
Causes Big law Sait, Several Mistrials
and Piles Up Costs Against Green
County farmers.
Paragould, Oct. 10.-A very
costly controversy about a yellow
dog has come to an end here by
the parties compromising the
suit. Some time ago J. N. Cobb,
a prominent farmer of this
county, lost a common yellow
dog. Recently he found in the
possession of James W. Williams,
another substantial citizen of this
county, a dog which he swears
is his own lost cur. Williams
swears he raised the dog claimed
by Cobb, and refuses to give him
up. Williams brought replevin
proceedings for the dog, and re
tained two of the best lawyers
at the Green county bar to rep
resent him. Cobb employed two
able counselors, and together
they summoned 64 witnesses in
the case. Two trials resulted in
hung juries, and one or more con
tinuances run the costs up to
about $300. After a long trial

another jury failing to agree,
and standing about evenly divid

counsel got together and the
matter was settled.
A yellow dog was introduced
in court as the one with two own
ers, but it is now currently re
ported and believed that the real
yellow dog in controversy is at
Marmaduke, in another part of
the county, and that the .whole
trouble grew out of mistaken
