system or sewers embracing
Seven Miles.
The city fathers will meet in reg
ular session tonight (Tuesday) and
consider affairs that concern the well
fare and progress of the municipali-
ty.
The most important matter that
will receive their attention will be
bids for putting in the system of
sewerage that was authorized by the
votes of the people last spring, and
for which a 100000 bond issue was
sold the first of October.
According to figures filed with the
city clerk by Mr. ]. B. McCrary, the
engineer in the employ of the coun-
Gil, there will be about miles and
496 feet of piping laid.
Bids for making the excavations,
laying the pipe and completing the
system in every respect are what the
council has advertised for, and will
open this evening.
A number of bids are expected to
be submitted, and there is little
doubt that the city will be able to
get the work done at reasonable fig
ures.
Among those who have already
filed bids are Berghaus & Moff1tt of
Harrisburg, Pa. Mr.. Clayton Berg

Mr.. Walter Cherry of Albany was
in Dawson Thursday looking for a
valuable dog that disappeared on the
day Pawnee Bills show exhibited in

A dog that the officers believed
suited the description of the lost one
was found in the possession of one
of the attaches of the show, and
possessory warrant was taken for its
recovery. But Mr.. Cherry was
doomed to disappointment, as it
proved to be an ordinary pointer in
stead of an aristocratic setter, such
as he had lost. He returned home

Former Atlanta Barber Will Spend
While at Nick Cruger's Camp.


Edward Greer, who some months
ago guided a razor over the faces
of some of the patrons of the Pied
mont barber shop, but who recently
has been holding down the job as
marshal of the town of McCaysville,
Ca, has just passed through on his
way to Albany, where he will serve
one year as a convict at Nick Cru
gers convict camps. Greer, while
arresting prisoner, dubbed him so
vigorously that death resulted. He
blames his downfall to the fact that
when he enlisted as a barber at the
Piedmont shop, he succeeded j. e.
Hopen who met tragic death in
the shop a few days previous.

ruling, as well as that on other technical
points, the defense took exception.
The Valentine law, under which the
action was brought, was passed July L,
1898. 1t defines a trust elaborately as a
combination of capital, skill or acts by
two or more persons. firms, etc, to create
or carry out restrictions in. trade. The
violations of the act are defined as "con-
spiracy against trade,'' and are punish

imprisonment for from six to twelve

convict, the statute says:
"It shall be sufficient to prove that 6
trust or combination as defined herein
exists, and that the defendant belonged
to it or acted for or in connection with

BOY APPEARS IN COURT ON
cRUTcHES
Redondo Man Alleges Neighbor's Bull
dog chewed Up Large Portion
Of Male Population OF
Seaside City

Hobblng on a tiny pair of homemade
crutches and trying his best to look as
brave and manly as the occasion de-
manded, little Laverne Case. 12-year-
old son Of G. w. Case of 403 El RedondC
street. Redondo, appeared i'm depart
ment two of the superior court and
waited patiently there while his father
was appointed his guardian at law in
order that a suit for damages brought
by the youngster against r. O. Hatha-
way might be properly prosecuted.
Laverne, who Is an exceptionally
bright lad personally, attends the Un-
ion school at Redondo. One of the al
legations in the little fellows complaint
by which he asks $250O damages from
Hathaway is that he has been deprived
of his schooling because of certain in
juries received at the teeth of Hatha-
ways bulldog, but there is a twinkle of
fun In the lads eye as he explains how
much It hurts to be compelled to stay
at home while the other little boys go
trooping to their work with their les
sons.
The lads story, however, is a clear
one, and is substantiated by his fathers
evidence and by the evidence of num-
ber of youngsters who are Laverne $
playmates.
Bitten in Back Yard
on August last, according to the
story told by the boy, he and number
of companions were playing at the
Hathaway home, which is next door to
the Case home. Young Hathaway was
with the crowd, and they were having
a game of hide-and-seek, when, ac-
cording to the boys allegations, he was
made 'it," and was compelled to hide
his eyes.
While the little chap had his hands
over his eyes, waiting for his play
mates to- hide, he alleges that Hatha-
ways bulldog came up behind him and
took hold of him, and without even
tearing his overalls bit a chunk of
flesh from the fleshy part of the lads
right leg above the knee.
At least that is the reading of the
complaint, but the little boy himself
states positively that he was bitten in
the back yard, just around the corner
of the chicken house, near a patch of
tomatoes, and the court will probably
have hard time to shake his evidence.
But the wound is a serious one. and,

sicians. may result in the boy being
lame for the remainder Of his life. The
| flesh alleged to have been laid bare by
the dogs attack Is Just over a heavy
| tendon running up the back of the
boys right leg in the back, and upon
that lever the leg is balanced so that
II 1t does not relax it's stiffness and IL
! the cord does not loosen up, as II has
refused to do so far. the boy will prob
ably never again be able to straighten
the limb from the cramped position
which it is now In.
Dog Is omniverous
The case however promised to be a
funny one. Mr.. Case, veteran of the
Civil War who viii assist in f1ghting
his sons petition, declares that he can
produce eight men who have been BIT
ten by Hathaway's bulldog. The dog
was bought by Hathaway about year
ago, and 1t is alleged has left his marks
on most of the neighborhood. Case
alleges that the dog has bitten the oil
peddler of Redondo three times in
three different spots, the dog, like
! lightning, never striking in the same
place twice. 1t Is further alleged that
the dog has taste for the basement
of ones garments and that he rarely
ever fails to land when once he has
started.
A Chinese who delivers vegetables is
alleged to have memento of the bull
dogs prowess in a neat little scar on
his leg. The wound did not bother the
celestial. but he howled his grief that
his best trousers should have to be
patched.
Then there is boy who works in a
hardware establishment. It is alleged
that the dog connected with the boy
while the boy was delivering hardware
and that the result was painful to the
boy.
All these witnesses will appear in
court when the case comes to trial,
and as the case has been set for hear
ing before Judge Bordwell attorneys
are now figuring on having test case
ard producing the "purp" in court.
1t has been suggested that the dog be
allowed to show his prowess upon the
person of Deputy Harry Wilson. the
baiIiff of the department.
1t is said that attorneys in the case
have authorities to the effect that it
is permissible to prove case literally
and that in such cases the bailiff of
the department is supposed to offer
his services.
AS for Hathaway, the defendant, in
his answer to the charges against his
dog he alleges that the dog is so peace
fui and quiet that it is becoming i'll;
that his dogship is a vegetarian and
will roll over jump through hoop,
beg for candy and play dead at the
command of any of the children. In
fact he alleges that if the dog was any
gentler he couldn't stand it, and he will
fight his defense and produce the dog
for an alibi.

Mr. Rockefeller, 1t is said, will not he
