Vegas got nine days yesterday morning in his trial before Justice Burnett but the dog was ordered discharged. Another character in this court was Patrick Keegan charged with a disturbance of the peace. He said that he knew noth- ing about it and was inclined to believe that there was a case of mistaken identity He was told that he had been thrown out of three saloons.
