The above petition was filed at noon today in the office of the clerk of courts. The plaintiff, Ault, is a laborer residing at 806, 12th avenue south. It appears that the dog in question was picked up by the city dog catcher, Ed.

The suit is a very unusual one and no doubt much interest will be evinced in it through the city when it comes up for trail at the August term of court.
