According to the testimony of the officer, he had received complaint about a number of dogs in an alley in rear of the defend- ant’s house. Upon investigation he learned that one of the animals had been on Mr. Grimsley’s premists for about six months. He could not say who owned the dog. Attorney Foster, for the defendant, said that his client was willing to get rid of the dog. The animal, he said, had been picked up by Mr. Grimsley’s children, and kept there without his consent. le Imed that the case was brought into court be- cause of ill-feeling on the part of the offi- cer, which was the result of the defend- ant's having been a witness against him on a certain occasion. The officer admitted that the defendant had given evidence against him, but this fact, he said, had nothing to do with the Frosecution. He also said that the amount of ccllateral required was $10, and when the court suggested that this was an unusually large amount, the officer sald the leuten- ant was responsible for it. Mr. Grimsley denied responsibility for the presence of the dog on his premises. He denied that he had been feeding the dog, although he admitted that the brute — spent considerable time on his prem- ses. Commenting on the case, Judge Kimball said the mere harboring of the dog ren- dered the defendant liable to the license tax. When these cases come into court the defendants are always anxious to get rid of the dog. “And,” added the judge, “I am going to say right here that it 1s too late to do this when the case reaches the court. When a person goes a month without getting @ tag he will have to pay a fine, and is not to be let off with the payment of the li- cense tax. There are hundreds of cur dogs in this.city which are good for nothing in the world, and the poundmaster ought to have them. f people will insist upon keeping them they will have to pay the license tax, and if they fail to do this they must expect 'to pay a fine.” In this case the judge suspended sen- tence upon production of the tag, but hereafter, he repeated, a fine in addition to the license tax will have to be paid. —s——_ FOR FORENSIC GLORY.

Great interest is manifested by those connected with the university and their friends in the outcome of the contest. Ow- ing to the difficulties through which the candidates for the oratorical prizes must pass, a place in this last debate and the winning of it is considered one of the high- est honors to which a law student, in his university career, can aspire. Durirg the scholastic year a series of six public debates are held, in which thirty- six candidates presént’ themselves, from among whom the six who are. adjudged the best are pitted teach other for a final decision as to--who shall bear the honors. The young gentlemen who will this year strive for’f sic glory are far above the average of,.contestants in, this line. There are two each class, and the different classes—are backing ‘their candidates for all they are worth. The representatives’ of the post-gradu- ates are Messrs. Wise of Ohio and Clay of Kentucky; for the juniors, Warfield of New York and Dabney of Virginia, and for the seniors Hendrick of Tennessee and Sul- livan of Idaho. The judges for the occa- sion are Mr. Justice Peelle, Mr. Justice Shepard and R. C. DeGraffenried. Before the debate takes place the stu- dents will try to show their appreciation of the services and the high esteem in which they hold Mr. Justice Harlan the United States Supreme Court, a mel ot the faculty.

The doors will be open at 7:30, The public is invited to witness the ceremonies and hear the debate. —___ SCORCHERS PAY FINES. Violators of Bicycle Regulations Con- tribute $18 to the Treasury. Violators of the bicycle regulations paid $18 in the Police Court yesterday. There were six defendants, but only two of them appeared for trial They were William Dewey, colored, and a young man named Roger Fenwick. Accoréing to the testimony of a police- man, the colored defendant was riding at the rate of about. twenty miles an hour. He 1s a bicycle instructor, and when call- ed upon for an explanation he said he may have been riding faster than he tmagiaed he was. “That's the trouble with bicycle riders,” remarked Judge Mills, “aad I believe that every one of the scorchers should be se- verely punished. Citizens have some rights as well as wheelmen. In this case, how- ev I will make the fine $ instead of Eat Mr. Fenwick told the court that he had been locking for a servant and nurse for his sister-in-law, who lives in the country. He may have been riding a little faster than the law allows, but the case was an urgent one. In corsideration of the nature of his er- rand@ the court accepted his personal bonds. Frank Goodwin ferfeited $5 for fast rid- ing, while for similar offenses John Pen- rose and George Coomes each forfeited $3. Jas. Brown paid $2 for riding without a light. Marine Band Concert.

Cane of Assnult Which the Evidence Did Not Sustain. Theodore Buchanan, a colored boy, about’ thirteen years old, was arraigned in Judge Kimball’s court today on a charge of as- saulting Philip Bayne, a white boy about the same age. The case was before the court only long erough to hear the state- ment of the prosecuting witness. He was riding a bicycle, he said, near 12th and W streets, two days ago, when a Stick thrown from among a party of colored boys struck his leg, and thén went between the spokes of his front wheel, necessitating a dismount. “I can whip the boy who threw that stick,” was the challenge which Philip ad- dressed to his colored audience. The colored boys laughed, and when one of their number was pushed against him a fight was precipitated, and Philip was made to understand that he was not the only fighter in the crowd. He got a black eye and bruised face. Philip also said that the colored boy bit his arm. “And so you invited the fight?” queried the judge. “Yes, sir.” was the boy’s response. The condition of his face showed that he got what he had invited, and the judge told him to go home, advising that in the future he had better not extend such in- vitations. —__—.—_.

Isaac Clark, a young colored citizen who has been a married man for two years, was a prisoner in the Police Court because of family troubles, and he claimed that it was a case of too much father-in-law. Isaac admitted to the court that he had not acted just right,toward Matilda, and on the other hand ne thought she had not treated him right. For her alleged bad treatment of him, he said: “I slapped her across the mouth with a paddle.” She had been away from home for sev- eral days, and he said when he asked her concerning her whereabouts, she re- fused to give him satisfaction. S “But, judge,” said the woman's grand- father, ‘‘this case ought never to have been in court. They had their 'sturbance, but they ‘pologized, asked forgiveness and made up. When Matilda’s father came over Isaac would talk to him, and he made the wife get the warrant.” “What about this?’ Matilda was asked. “Do you want him punished?” a “I don’t really want him punished,” she answered, “but I want you to give him some good advice. If you can get him to stop going with some -low people and drinking whisky, then I'll be satisfied.” The old grandfather was asked for fur- ther details of the meeting between the husband and wife, and he explained how Matilda had sent for her father to settle the trouble. “I didn’t marry your father, I married you,” the old man heard Isaac tell her; “and if you love him better than you love me, you had better go with him.” He also explained that the father-in-law ‘wanted to move the household effects, and this only increased the ill feeling. “And so you think the father-in-law caused the wife to get the warrant?” “Yes, indeed, ‘cause they had made up, and that night they roomed together, as usual.’ ~ Judge Kimball finally gave the husband some good’advice, and sent him home with Matilda. ag $1.25 To Baltimore and Re- $1.25 ia Railroad.
