Showling Hounds 60 on Tams to Test Their Legal Right
Butte, June 2. Richard Nane's all greyhounds will go on trial for their right to howl in district court Thursday, after Judge Lynch indicated the six dogs, under a death sentence from Judge Auckley, may challenge the ruling. The dogs began howling around 3 a.m. near Oregon avenue, disturbing Mrs. Ann Kinnee who reported sleep deprivation. The case, once heard in police court, raised the issue of a dog's inalienable right to howl. A stay delayed execution, and an appeal was filed to district court Friday.
