colored woman, and wife Of the defend
ant, testified that two days before
Christmas Fry gave his child such a
quantity of the drug to stop its crying
that 1t came near dying. A physician

DUG GRAVEL PITS
And Got Into Trouble Because They
Had Not Secured Permission

. Dominica Pautalon, a building and
street contractor, who was arrested with
six of his men for violating city ordi-
nance which prohibits the making of
any excavation without a permit, was
arraigned in the police court yesterday.
The cases were set for trial on the 10th
inst. Pautalon was excavating gravel
on Toberman street.
The complaints against Contractor
william McGreal and six of his en-
ployes, who were excavating gravel on
Washington street, were dismissed. The
law requires that before an excavation
is made bond must be filed with the
city council, and permit obtained from
the street superintendent. McGreal had
complied with the first part Of the regu-
lation, but had failed to get permit
from the street superintendent. He said
that his failure to do so was because he
didn't know that 1t was necessary. The
fact Of his having filed bond with the
city council was taken as q guarantee of
good faith, and the case was dismissed.
