JURORSENJOY
DAY OFF FROM
CIRCUIT COURT
CASE OF MAS. ARIZONA CALLED
BUT ONE GUT is DISMISSED
AND ANOTHER ENTERED IN
PLACE BY HER CoUNSEL-No
SESSION RESULTS.

There were no cases tried in the
Circuit Court yesterday and, as the
jury was dismissed early, no verdicts
were rendered.
When the cases Of Mrs. Fannie Ar
bona of East Zarragossa street
against the Blount Construction Com
pany and against the County of Els
Gambia were called in that court, the
attorneys for Mrs. ARIZONA requested
a postponement of the trial of those
cases on the ground that one of the
attorneys for Mrs. ARIZONA had been
retained only yesterday and was not
ready for trial. R. P. Reese, attorney
for the County, agreed to the continu-
ance on behalf of the County and the
case against the County was post
poned until the February term of
court. Blount & Blount & Carter. at
torneys for the Blount Construction
Company, however, refused to consent
to a postponement of the case against
their client and that case was dis
missed by Mrs. Arbona's attorneys.
The case was no sooner dismissed
than a new one was instituted against
the same concern by the attorneys for
Mrs. ARIZONA. The amount named is
100000.
The suits grew out of the construc-
ton of the new county Jail Mrs. Ar
bona owns the property adjoining the
property on which the Jail is built,
and claims that the Jail projects over
upon her property. The suit against
the county is to recover possession of
the property claimed by Mrs. ARIZONA
to be covered by the jail in part. The
suit against the Blount Construction
Company is to recover damages for
damage alleged to have been done
Mrs. Arbona's property by the Blount
Construction Company in the con-
struction Of the new Jail. She claims
that her buildings were undermined,
made to leak, and otherwise damaged.
Judge John G. Avery and John P.
Stokes are attorneys for Mrs. ARIZONA
IN both suits.

BULLDOG ATTACKS
 OLD CHILD
LITTLE EDWIN COX, SON OF W. E. COX, SERIOUSLY
 BITTEN.

Little Rock, Oct. 29.-Attacked by a bulldog with which he had been playing, Edwin Cox, one of the four year-old twin sons of MT. and Mrs. Wylie E. Cox, Sixth avenue and Rose street, Pulaski Heights, was serious ly bitten about the head and face at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Dr. Samuel G. Boyce, who was called to attend the lad, said last night the pa- tient was getting along nicely and that he believed there was no danger of rabies. Members of the family de- sired to kill the dog immediately, but Dr. Boyce advised that the animal be placed in a veterinary hospital, where it can be observed for symptoms of hydrophobia.
 According to the injured boy, he had been sitting on the steps of the front porch betting the dog and was attempting to "shake hands" with the animal when it attacked him. The dog knocked him off the steps and bit him on the head and face. A wound 1 1-2 inches long was made in the scalp and several smaller wounds on the face and back of the head. The animal literally was chewing the child's head when Mrs. Cox, alarmed at his screams, rescued him.
 The injured boy and his twin brother, Eldon, has been in the habit of playing with the dog, which never had shown any evidences of being H- cious.
