Walter Ambrose, a young man from

He didn't have a cent, and even if he
had the alderman would not have fined
him. He was poorly but tidily dressed,
intelligent and undoubtedly honest.

DAMAGES FOR MRS. KOLATA.
Bailey Gives Judgment in
Her Favor in the Trespass Suit.

Judgment was rendered yesterday by
Alderman Bailey in favor of Mrs. Ko-
lata in the trespass suit brought by
her against Adolph Miller. Mrs. Ko-
lata had two silk dresses which had
been the property of Mrs. Wilhelm, now
deceased, and when Mr. Miller, as
executor Of the estate, took charge of
affairs, he took the dresses. Mrs. Ko-
lata then sued for 500 damages.
At the hearing of the cast last Fri
day Attorney Scragg argued that the
goods were the property of the estate.
The alderman maintained that Mrs.
Kolata secured possession of the goods
previous to the death of Mrs. Wilhelm
by removing them from one room to
another. Mr.. Miller has taken an ap-
peal to common pleas court.

SOCIETY'S ACTION QUESTIONED.
Enos Flynn Sues the Father Whittys
for His SONS Death Benefits,

Suit has been instituted before AL
derman Fuller by Enos Flynn, of Prov
idence, to recover $50 death benefits
from the Father Whltty Total Absti-
nence and Benevolent society, of which
the plaintiffs lately deceased son,
Matthew, was a member.
The society contended, at hearing
yesterday morning, that the deceased
forfeited his membership in the soci-
ETY. and therefore his claim for bene-
fits. This is denied by the young mans
father.
The fact that the society took no
official recognition Of his sons death
was what caused Mr.. Flynn to begin
the suit. Alderman Fuller reserved
his decision.
Attorneys Z. c. Newcomb and A. a.
Nosburg respectively represented the
defendant society and plaintiff.
