Verdict Can Be Expected This Morn- ing in Street vs. Leemis. In the superior court all day Thurs- day the case of John W. Street vs. Anton Leemis was on trial before Judge Gardiner Greene and a jury and when court adjourned at 4.30 the final arugments by the attorneys had been made.

Street is suing Leemis for $5,000 for damages for the bit of a dog. The plaintiff introduced two wit- nezses Thursday, Mary Eliza Geer and Edna May Geer, resting his case at .31.

Nevertheless, she bad surmised that it was a pious oc- casion and prepared her little sermon.

W. Briggs house at No, 175 Broadway. The fire was in the auto truck of the H. B. Porter & Son Co., which had back-fired on Williams street. The Falls company also responded to_the alarm, but the use of a line of hose from Linden Parkway where men were laying concrete walks had put out the fire before the companies arrived. The auto truck was partially consumed. When the axle broke the auto- chemical was fortunately going at low speed, It was shown after the acci- dent that a crack in the axle must have been there for some time. The machine was propped up and then drawn back to the Central station. During the afternoon a man from the department was sent to Hartford to get a new axle. Chief Stanton states that the only expense connected with the repairs will be the traveling ex- penses of .the messenger. When James L. Hubbard learned the auto-chemical was out of commission he came to the rescue by sending his machine to get the tanks of chemical on the fire auto and he took them to the scene of the fire on Willlams street but the fire had been gotten under con- trol when the chemical tank arrived.
