TO COMPEL
TRANSFER
OF STOCK
Mr.. Clifford Seeks a New Trial
Of His Case Against
Mr.. Mason.

Chief Justice Stiness and Justices Til
linghast and Dougles heard today the
plaintiffs petition for new trial in the
case of Arthur w. Clifford VS.. James
Mason. This suit was brought on ac-
count of the alleged refusal OF defendant
TO transfer certain shares OF stock In
the Interstate Petroleum company. In
the lower court non-suit was ordered
entered.
The plaintiff set up an agreement by
which the defendant was to transfer TO
him 1000 shares OF the stock named for
$S00O 800 being paid down which latter
sum was To be credited when the stock
was delivered and the rest of the money
paid
Mr.. Clifford claims he tried to find Mr.
Mason, but could not. Once Mr.. Clifford
went 10 MIR. Masons house with $4,000
cash and a check for the balance signed
by a responsible party. lie was told by
a lady at Mason's house that Mr.. Mason
would not be back until the last part of
the week. The option on the stock would
have run out by that time, the option be-
ing limited TO 10 days.
Murdock. counsel for the plaintiff, to-
day contended that the non-suit was
granted because the justice i'm the trial
division had held plaintiff failed TO show
legal tender for the stock. Mr.. Muir
dock urged that In cases OF concurrent
acts 10 be done by parties to the con-
tract. IL was not necessary for the plain
tif TO find out the defendant and pay
him In legal tenders. 1t is admitted that
the check was not legal tender. nor Is
there evidence that the money offered
was legal tender.
When all the evidence had been srb-
mitted TO the jury the presiding justice
called counsel. into his room and said the
case came within a previous decision of
the Supreme court and the case must be
taken from the jury
Edwards x Angel argued that non
suit was ordered because the evidence
did not show that the plaintin was pre-
pared to make proper tender and that

plaintiff called at his residence did not

argued that decisions I'm this state ana In

Mr. Murdock replied that these cases

The tragedy followed one of the most
successful raids upon cock fighters ever
made in the state
West Greenwich and Crompton have
long been the favorite resorts of prize
fighters, and kindred spirits. A few days
ago the sports were~ tipped off that
cooking main was TO be held at or near
Woods roadhouse, known as Red Rock,
in Crompton between birds from Cromp-
tonrand Narragansett Pier.
/. For fear that the authorities had got
wind of the match, however, the location
of the pat was changed Sheriff Sprague
and General State Agent james N. Smith
OF the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty 10 Animals received word OF the
arrangements, and plans were made To
arrest the violators OF the law
The Pierites, about 30 i'm number, ar
rived in Providence Saturday evening,
and remained in town until late. They
came direct from the pier on special
car. Some went to Apponaug TO throw
the officers off the right scent and the
others took the electrics to Riverpoint
and hung about until the last car left
for Washington Village, reaching there
about midnight.
OFFICERS ON THE ALERT.
In the meantime Deputy SheriTs Fish
and Lynch and Agent Smith and half
dozen constables were preparing to bag
their game.
After midnight they drove toward
Crompton and saw the crowd enter the
old Olney Wood farmhouse. The officers
surrounded the premises. and then Depu-
~ Fish stepped TO window. pushed his
revolver through il and commanded that
every man in the house should stand still.
TO intimidate the crowd he added that
he had fired at one man who had at
tempted 20 escape
The cupidity OF those who were manag-
ing the main aided very materially the
officers In making their coup great sue
cess.
Every window sash had been nailed fast
and every door save one had been secure
ly boarded up and barred. This left one
entrance and here the financial part of
the main was managed and the would-be
spectators were assessed and had to de-
liver before they could pass the sentry.
The raiders had silently crept up TO the
windows and were crouching under them
waiting for the signal which was 60 be
given by Deputy Sheriff Fish.
Presently the man in charge OF the ring
announced that the first match was about
10 begin and that bets might be laid.
Then the tip was given and the com
mand was given TO all TO stand fast
A BREAK FOR THE WOODS.
After the first shock OF surprise some
OF the spectators smashed out the win
dows and made break for the woods
OF Misheck swamp.
Fish fired at and wounded one OF these
in the leg, but the fellow got up and was
quickly lost in the underbrush.
One OF those who remained on the In
side made a move to get out, but Deputy
Fish said that the first one who came
through the window would get bullet
through his head. This had the desired
effect. and Fish then kicked in the door

were residents of the country and, after
the names of IS had been taken, they

WOUNDED AND UNCONSCIOUS.
At O'Clock in the afternoon an ex-
press wagon was driven into Washing
ton village. Stretched upon mattress in
the vehicle was the deputy i'm an uncon-
scious condition lie had been brought
from the Blanchard place, and those i'm
charge of the wagon said that he had
shot himself.
Mr.. Fish was accompanied by DR. J. j..
Mack, who said that the wound was a
most serious one, and as soon as the in
jured man could be removed to his house
two other surgeons were calle,. i'm. Fish
had been shot in the abdomen, and there
appeared little or no nope for him.
Later IL was learned that I'm attempting

had not been able TO make an investiga-
tion, and nobody who was I'm the house at
the time of the shooting had been arrest
ed.
A special train was secured and at
o'clock Fish was on his way TO the Rhode
Island hospital.
There he rallied enough TO say that he
went to the house with Constable Pollitt.
Leaving the latter in charge OF the
horse and carriage Fish went to the front
of the house and learned from the pro-
prietor that there were three men there
who had been at the cock fight.
II was Fish's Intention to serve sum-
mons upon these men, IL they were not

same parole was to be extended TO them

FIRED AND FLED.
Before any other move had been made by
Fish. so far as could be ascertained, one
OF the three men fired upon the officer
and then fed.
Alarmed at Fishs condition messen-
ger was sent to DIR. Macks office and to
the physician the preposterous assertion
was made that the officer had shot him

Realizing that the wounded mans con-
dition was very serious the doctor had
him placed in wagon and took him to
