LIMITS HUMANE OFFICER. Quin Says Ordinance Permits Prosecution in Few Cases." From time immemorial duly appointed humane officials of the city of Ottawa have been discharging their functions, aided and abetted by the city courts, and innumerable citizens have been "jacked up" and assessed penalties for doing improper things to animals. For several years past J. W. Kerr has filled the office and has secured the conviction of many offenders against the laws of hu manity.

And now suddenly it is discovered that all such proceedings may not legally be dene. At least in any such general and loose wayas has been the common procedure. As John C. Quin city attorney, construes the existing ordinance, it only applies in cases of extreme severity. Minor cases of mistreatment of animals; Mr.

Quin says, fciay not be proceeded against under the ordi-rance-. The city attorney also mildly claims the right to draw the line of demarkation between what may come within the jurisdiction of the city- ordinance and'' those trivial offenses that do not attain that dignity. In other words, it is up Jfi him, he asserts, to pass on the eligibility of a reported offense to the action of a court. RIVER UP TO 15 FEET. Water Began To Fall After Midnight Last Night.
