BRUTAL DOG FIGHT.
One of Them Was Used So Badly
 That It Died.

That It Died .-...
 Storekeepers on North Main street, near the alley which runs in by the Gaffney Jewelry Go, witnessed a bru- tai sight yesterday afternoon and the fellow who was the cause of 1t is lucky if he is not run down by the hu- mane agent and locked up. The young man in question belongs in Warer- bury, but of late has been living in Bridgeport. Yesterday he came up from the Park City with valuable bull dog. When he reached the point mentioned above, just for the fan o1 the thing he set 1t on little cur which was running about in the alley. The bull dog got such a hold on the small canine that the dogs could not be separated. Finally the fellow who owned the bull dog, since he was un- able to get the dogs apart, started to abuse the larger dog by kicking it. He kicked it so severely on the head that about one7half hour later it died. Sanitary Inspector Callahan was later notified by a man who witnessed the brutality and the dog was removed to the crenatory. It is not known anything further will result from the incident.

TREASURER RANDOLPH
 ON THE STAND TO-DAY
He Says Mccall Ordered Him to Turn Over $40,0OO Check to Kidder. Peabody 8 Co. of Boston Ram doph is an Official of the New York Life and A,tor- ney Hughes Asked Him Many Pointed Questions

a New York, Nov 2S. Edmund D.
 Randolph, treasurer of the New York Life Insurance Go, was the first wit ness before the life insurance inyesti gating committee today Charles k Hughes, counsel for the committees asked him if he had been ordered by President John A. Mccall to turn the $40, 193 check from Kidder, Peabody X Go of Boston over to George w. Per kins, vice-president of the New York Life Insurance Go. MT Randolph said he was so ordered by President Mo Call.
 Mr Randolph said the loan of $930, 900 to Kidder, Peabody & Go was not acted upon by the finance committee of the New York Life Insurance Co be- cause it was not customary to report loans to that committee Asked why he did not cash the check for the New York Life Insurance Go, MT Randolph said 1t did not belong on the records ot the New York Life. The company's share was 5 per cent interest on the Mexican Central bonds.
 And to furnish all the money" said Mir Hughes.
 Asked about the removal of $7O0,0OO worth of New York city stock from the vaults of the New York Life h. surance Go for few days and the sub stitution therefor of a check of the Central National bank for $700,000, which was told yesterday by Cashier Theodore F. Banta of the New York Life, Mir Randolph said the statement was correct in the main. He did re- move the stock as Banta testified, but at that time he was not the treasurer of the company, but chairman of the executive committee. He probably acted under instructions from Mr Gibbs, then treasurer, now dead.
 ''Who got the stock?" asked MT Hughes.
 T do not remember. Only three men then had access to the vaults" he said.
 He further testified that during a period of financial stress some Massa- chusetts bonds and New York city bonds belonging to the New York Life Insurance Co were deposited with the United States government for the First National bank of this city. This was done because the secretary of the treasury was demanding high class of securities against government de posits. The New York Life received for the transaction over $60,000 be- sides interest, said the witness.
 James c. Keeler, formerly clerk Of the New York Security and Trust Go, said that in 1900 or 1901 the trust com papy paid Andrew Hamilton $1S,00O and charged 1t to an account for the Onion Savings and Trust Co of either Tacoma or Spokane. MT Keeler said that he understood this trust company was not defunct and that all it's as- sets, warrants and debentures were owned by the New York Life Insur- ance Go.
