TEE 4ssAILANT FINED $50.
In the Police Court to-day, VIM. II. Douglass,
who assaulted DR.. TownShend at his private
Office On AZ street, last Tuesday, was charged
with an assault. A young white man named
Geo. Warr1ck, testified that he went with DOUG
lass Tuesday afternoon to DR.. TowLshend'5
Office and Douglass asked for burial permit,
and DR.. TOwnshend said that he could not give
him certificate, because he (DOuglaSS) was not
regular physician. Mr.. Douglass called Dr..
TOwDShend liar, when DR.. TownShend
Knocked him down and attempted to kick him,
but witness caught the doctor by the shoulder
and prevented him from continuing the assault.
aR. DOUGLASS TESTIFIED
that his name is VIM. II. Douglass and that he
has been practiclDg medicine here under the
name OF Red Syn, and had no trouble until
lately. He stated that when he called at the
health Office he was treated rather meanly; not
being offered seat. and that after some words
he was ordered out. and went out; and under
the excitement commenced to drink, and went
TO DR.. rs. private. Office and requested permit
and on being refused he made rude remark TO
MIN and Townshend made one In return and
Knocked him down under q table and tried to
kick him. Witness stated that he was under
Inc influence OF liquor and that while DR..
TOWnshend had him down on the floor aud
calling for help to hold him, he scratched DE-.
TOWnSnend'S face, and was arrested and taken
10 police headquarters.
DR. TOwNsHEND WAS RECAILKD,
and stated that when Douglass came to his
Office the last time, he asked witness why in the
III he did not order the clerks TO make out the
permit OF burial, and witness told hIm that he
did not issue the permit because he ID was
not physician; Douglass then advanced and
struck at witness, who parted the blow and
caught him by the hair, and struck him In the
neck and knocked him down and held him.
Thinking that the young man who Was with
Douglass was going TO assault him, witness
struck at him, when he left the Office and did
not come back again. While holdiag Douglass
on the floor he clawed witnesses lace with his
finger nails. and was subsequently, arrested.
Witness was cr0SS-eXamined by defendants
counsel, ThoS. F. Miller, but no new facts were
ELECTED.
THE JUDGE REMARKED
that this was an outrageous state of affairs,
when an Intoxicated man goes to the Office OF
public officer and after using very insulting
remarks assails him. In di5posing OF the case
the court would give the matter little more
consideration than simple assault and under
the circumstances he would impose fine of
$50 and require defendant to give his personal
bonds TO keep the peace to DR.. TOWnshend. An
appeal was noted. and bonds were fixed at $500
THE OTHER ''RED SYN
The accused In this case Is not Tip Snyder
who made the fist appearance here as ''Red
Syn" ia transpcSition OF the letters In Snyder)
but Is, as he testified, named Douglass and is
well known as resident of this city fOr num-
Der OF years past. He formerly lived on 18th
street above ii.

The Providence Hospital Troubles.

The Providence Hospital Troubles.
The resignation Of eight Of the members OF
the medical board OF Providence Hospital con-
tinues to be the subject of much comment, and
among physicians there is a diversity OF opinion
some Of those who have never been connected
with the institution warmly endorsing the
action taken by majority of the board as being
the only manly course which could be taken
with regard to their own self-reSpect, and some
warmly eSpOusing the course OF the manage
ment. DR.. j. Ford Thompson is reported as
say1T that the action OF Sister Beatrice made
the hoard nonentity. and that she had gener-
ally been arbitrary. DR.. Lincoln Is reported to
have said that his action In resigning was based
questing the resignation OF his associates-.h ere
by casting reflection On them, and be relates
several instances OF clashing and want OF sup
port from the Sisters. He said ''There was 700
much religion about the hospital; patients are
a secondary consideration" Dr. c. NJ Ford
stated that before Sister Beatrice took charge
there was little CT no cause for complaint but
there had not been that support from the SIS
ter5 that there should have been. DR.. Tyler
the president OF the board, who retains bis con,
nectfon with the hospital, declines to speak OF
the action OF the members OF the board at
present. DR.. Elliot also declines to make state
ment
A conference was held yesterday between
Surgeon General Barnes and DR.. Tyler in refer
ence to filling the vacancies on the board. 1t is
understood that number of applications have
Deen made, and that the patients will suffer no
inconvenience because OF the resignation of
eight members OF the board.
