In the Eighth District Court this morn
ing Sylvester Budlong OF Pawtuxet,
brought suit against Charles q. Newhall
for damages sustained by ms littie
boy who was bitten by Newhalls dog last
summer. Ii seems that Mr.. Newhall had
been warned that his dog was
liable to be provoked by the child,
rem about there and had onered
to keep the dog confined to his premises.
But this would not do for the neig
They thought the animal ought to be put
out of the way, and the suit was
the outcome of the feeling. The testi-
mopy of two or three OF the
children was brought in, and 1t was
thought harmless till the youngsters had
made him moro or less distrustiui OF them
by their teasing. The animal seemed 10
the court "more sinned against than
SHINING" and SO the case went 10 the
defendant.
Trouble In a Barroom.
The case of Joseph White against Will
liam IL. Woolley, a saloon keeper In the
Tenth Ward, for assault, was on this
Fort Adams and was home on
leave of absence when the row
occurred. The defence put in by Woolley
was that he was not the man who struck
White. His brother stepped in and took
the blame of that 10 himself, say
ing that White was intoxicated and
raising disturbance. The case went to
the defendant, the court judging that the
ia ct of Whites being soldier wasn't OF
much account when he carried his uni
form into the barroom.
