Won't Give Up Clothes.
Claiming that Casino is in arrears
Of his board bill Potoz has in his
possession the clothes of the former
which he refuses to give up. Casino
has been boarding at Tony's home
for about a month. After the fight
Sunday morning Casino decided to
change his boarding house. He gives
as his reason that he does not wish
to reside in a house where guns are
brandished and where fights take
place.
In his haste to leave the house on
Sunday Casino forgot to collect all
his raiment, leaving some of his
clothes behind. When he called for
them the next day Tony refused to
give them up, claiming his board
bill. He alleges that Casino is a few
weeks behind in his bill while the
later says he owes him for only three
days board. Casino has not yet de-
cided upon what course he will pur
sue in securing his clothes but is
probable that he will resort to the
/ courts.
