Lawyer Samuel B. Harvey of Wilt
mantle was before the borough court
last Thursday in the role of stern
avenger of alleged cruelty to the stall
lion, County Beaten. driven by Dana
Gary last season. The horse is owned
BY John Curran, and Mr.. Gary had
more or less trouble in getting his
money for training and driving. This
taken in connection with
the fact that the alleged cruelty &C.
CURED last October, would seem to
indicate either that the case is one of
spite or that it takes some time to
arouse Lawyer Harvey and his client
sufficiently to take action. Attorney
Fisk, on behalf of his client, filed
demurrer in the case last Thursday,
which was overruled by the court
The defendant was ordered to plead
and refused. Judge Heald fined the
defendant SIS and costs, which was
paid. No evidence was taken in the
case, as the defendant preferred to
settle on this basis rather than to 60
to the expense of contesting. The
horse has the reputation of being
vicious animal, and probably required
a strong hand at times.
An alarm of fire was lung in Sun
day morning about 4 O'Clock for a
fire in A. W. Elliott's pool room in
the block owned by G.. E. Buck and
Mrs. Daniel Sullivan. Officer Mel
len discovered the fire, and at once
notified the two families living in the
upper part of the building and then
rang in the alarm. The fire, which
was in the rear of the room, was
bursting out both sides of the build
ing when discovered. The depart
ment responded promptly, and it was
but short time before they had two
streams on the flames and it was soon
all over. The loss on the building is
estimated at 800, and is covered by
insurance. The loss from fire and
water in the pool room is estimated
At $500, and is also covered by insur-
ance. The promptness with which
the fire was handled prevented it from
getting into the tenements above.
It was fortunate that il did not get a
