NEWPORT, Nov. 28. - La the district
court yesterday morning E. pappa was
given four weeks to find Charles Iaplin,
who has jumped his bail. 1t
is the general impression that
he has gone for good, but Pappa thinking
possibly he would come home at Christ
mas, the court allowed him until then
before defaulting the case. Judge Baker
is too lenient.
Only $1,000 Wanted.
The city of Newport was yesterday ade
respondent in case for 1900 damages,
brought by MIR. Noah Redford, property
owner on Bath road, the grounds
upon which he claims the damages
being that owing TO the manner In
which the street railway is run the
value OF his property is deprecated, and
that the city is responsible, insomuch
that they have allowed the company to
break city ordinances. Mr.. Redford made
a demand to the city for 5000, and they
taxing no heed OF his request, he has
raised the sum and taken the case TO the
courts. The railroad, which is money
making concern to few, has been an eye
sore to many, including the summer resi-
dents, who at one time, headed by Con-
ellus Vanderbilt, attempted to force IL out
OF existence. lt is thought that Mr.. Red
ford has financial backing from the sum-
nerresidents.
