Nineteen True Bills Against County Dog Owners
Foreman E P Turner and the grand jury filed the final report with Judge W B Turner noting nineteen true bills against female dog owners who failed to pay the $3 dog tax under the 1907 act. Since last spring the law was revived to curb sheep losses from roaming dogs. General Frierson warned owners to pay by June or face prosecution. The panel, after a countywide search, returns fifty eight total bills with nineteen dog cases, eleven gaming, one profanity, two larceny, one embezzlement, one bad check, one obstructing highway, and two criminal libel. No bootlegging indictments. The grand jury was discharged. Frierson called it among his best apart from his tenure as district attorney.
