Warren Councilman Sues Anti
Cruelty Agent for $4,000
Damages for False Arrest

Another chapter In the series OF inter-
esting developments which followed the
cock fight al Barnabys corner on Feb l6
was opened today by Sheriff Cady Of
Bristol. who served a writ on James ~
Smith, agent OF the Society for the Pre-
vention OF Cruelty TO Animals In an ac-
tion OF tort brought by Micheal f. Fox,
a Warren councilman.
Mr. Fox wants $4,000 as damages for
his arrest alleged to have been made at
the instance OF the sOciety's agent for at
tending the battle,
Councilman Fox was then taken into
custody some time ago, charged with be-
ing present or intending 10 be present at
the cOckfight in question. Several others
were arraigned in court on similar
charges, but when the councilman's case
was called he pleaded not guilty. and for
some reason the case against him was
not pressed. In other words the matter
was dropped for want OF prosecution.
Mr. Fox and his friends were highly I'm
dgnant that his name was brought into
the case. and today's development is the
outcome.
The writ is returnable before the com
mon pleas division Of the supreme court
In Bristol on April ).
Another phase OF the rooster fight cases
came up az warren today. Wllfrid Des-
iardin, one OF those who had previously
pleaded guilty TO attending the event was

becoming extinct, and are even now
regarded as quite a curiosity even
among men who in the early days
were in the habit Of killing them for
their meat.
A good joke is being told at the ex-
pense Of a Renville county farmer.
He went to Minot last week and de-
cided to surprise his wife by return
ing in a suit of new clothes. When
he reached the Cut Bank he pulled off
his old clothes and cast them into the
rapid running water of the above men
toned stream and then reached in the
buggy for his new suit. The clerk
had forgotten to put them in with the
rest of the, bundles. Luckily it was
night. He drove on home and the
surprise of his wife was a success.

w IN DEVILS LAKE.

A mar supposed to be John B. Will
liams, of Rigdon, Ind, was drowned
in Devils Lake Sunday afternoon by
falling overheard from one of Captain
Heerman's steamboats,. The accident
took place just as the boat was get
ting ready to land on the Fort Totten
side. None of the passengers on
board saw the man fall. The accident
was witnessed by a number of people
on the dock, and it is said that Just
before he fell he was seen to take a
drink from a bottle. The man was
more or less intoxicated, and shortly
before the accident happened con-
graduated himself upon having made
a safe voyage across, seemingly being
afraid something would happen. The
alarm was sounded by the engineer
and row boats lowered for the the pur-
pose of rescuing the drowning man,
but before he could be reached his
body disappeared. The unfortunate
man seems to have been a stranger in
these parts. He had been working al
the carpenters trade for about three
weeks for Superintendent Davis at the
Fort, and little was known of him.
The body was found Tuesday and was
brought to this city for burial.

NO SUNDAY GAMES.

The Inter-Ocean commends the &C
ton of the Northern Baseball league
in agreeing to dispense with Sunday
games this season. While we believe
in everybody enjoying himself to the
fullest extent, there is something
about playing ball on Sunday that
CRATES u%npleasantly upon the ears of
the more strict Sabbath keepers, and
it is at least due this class Of worthy
citizens that their beliefs should at
least be respected. Many baseball en-
thusiasts do not endorse Sunday
games, and the same thing is true of
many players who believe they are
entitled to at least days rest.
