that one OF the FIRST matters Commits
sioner Johnston will take UP on his re-
turn is the question whether the order
impounding stray cats shall be modi-
fed.
Since the Commissioners absence
scores of protests have been received
against the order, but as the regulation
was adopted on Commissioner john
ston's recommendation, no official cog
nizance of the protests has been taken
taken during his absence.
He recommended the order after re-
ceiving a report from the Health De-
partment that the cats were a formid-
able danger in the spread and Infection
of rabies, and for that reason II Is con-
sidered unlikely that the regulation will
be rescinded or modified. In the mean
time the Health Department Is trying tn
figure out a way to enforce the regula.
tion, as the appropriation for the main.
tenance of the pound is hardly sufficient
to look after untasged and unmuzzled

ASSISTANT TRAIN MASTER is
HELD TO ANSWER CHARGE OF
ASSAULT AND BATTERY.

Yesterday morning at 10 a. M. the
preliminary hearing of Mr.. w. Dam
ron, assistant train master for the B.
q o. II. r. Co., in this city, was called
in The court OF Justice =. Amos, the
man being charged in a warrant with
assault @ith. intent 10 Kill, the assault.
!beiig upon the person Of Harry Hay
ward, brakeman whom Damron had
dismissed from the ,Gompany's service,
and then later whipped when the.
brakeman went to Damron's Office and.
refused to leave until Damron would
arrange to see that he got voucher
for the money due him.
When the case was called, the local
B. & o. attorneys, headed by Attorney
James ]. Kirby, appeared before
Squire Amos and said that County
Prosecuting Attorney Tusca Morris
had agreed TO let Damron waive u
hearing, aud appear before the Circuit
court to answer to Indictment for
felony, II the same indictment was re-
turned by the next Grand Jury, which
will meet in March, and the Justice
allowed this to stand, releasing Dam
ron under bond Of $500.
Immediately following his Attorneys
Tugca Morris and George A. Vincent
appeared before the Justice and asked
that Harry Hayward and the principal
witness in the case be held under
their personal bond for the sum OF
500 for their appearance at the March
term OF Court.
1t seems that the trouble occurred
when Haywood. whom Damron had
dismissed, went 10 Damrpn's office on
pay day and told pamron that the
local pay agent had told him that Mr..
Damron would have TO identity him
before he could get his check, and
Damron ordered Hayward from his Of
five, knocking him down and kicking
him on the head when Hayward did
not go. Tie man received a serious
! injury, and as soon as he was able,
appeared before Justice Amos and
swore out warrapt for the arrest OF
Damrop, the case being set for yester'
day, With the above result,
The Saulre's office was crowded
when the case was called yesterday,
rand it seems that the railroad EN-
ployees are in favor Of Mr.. Hayward.
