Chas F. Harris was heard before Justice
Newton Wednesday and Thursday. The
only testimony introduced was that of the
plaintiff and his mother. The testimony
of Larrabee tended to show that on the

as Waterman in the rear of the Brooks
House, he was assaulted by Harris, who,
| with the assistance of others unknown
threw him into the watering trough, caus-
ing bodily injuries which compelled him to
give up his position. Larrabee stated that
he did not know how he got out of the
trough, but when he regained conscious
ness he was in the mud near the trough.
