Mongrel Dog Inherits Estate After Mistress’s Death
San Diego July 28 A mongrel dog receives part of a $15,000 estate left by Mae Murray Green who died after a tetanus infection from a wound tied to a dog fight. The will also provides the pet sleeps in the bed and is well fed for life. Deputy Coroner Jesse Canale notes the death was indirectly caused by the dog. Picher Oklahoma reports a different welfare story about old mine mules Blue and Kate, said to be fed three to four times weekly by local miners Clarence Howell and John Baker, as inspectors confirm their well‑being.
