AS has been stated in the Gazotte, n
lignt took place 1t the termination OF n
ball aL the cnIorrd Odd Fellows Hall
One night last week, in which William
Dogan was beaten in the face seriously.
According TO Edward .julins, Dogan
had entered the hall iD aIi Intoxicated
condition when his conduct became so
disorderly az to necessitate bis forcible
election. It. was during this process
that he received lis injuries. Julius
further alleged that Dogan waylayed
dim after the latter left the hall, strik-
ing him on Ihe head with q brick.
When the case was brought before the
Police Court Justice Cation continued
it in order that the policA could make
further investigation. This morning
several men and woman who attended
the ball were present. The evl.
dence showed that Dogan had been
numerically handled whileI being
elected from the hall. The justice
therefore fined Julius so and Walter
Ashton, who aided in5Ihc election, 80.
Dogan was dismissed. the justice re-
marking that if lie had been guilty OF
any overt act he had received sufficient
punishment.
