CITY COURT CASES. Bsuno Bokartx, Fined ot Cruslty to Animals, Takes an Appeal. In the police court Friday morning Beuno Bokartz, charged with cruelty to animals, entered a demurrer through his attorney, P. J. Danahey, which was overruled by Judge Foss, but no fur- ther plea was entered. Herbert Switzer, who entered the complaint, saig that he saw Switzer kicking and beating a horse, and later in the day he was clubbing a vear old calf which would not go where he wanted it to. The calf was knocked down and the man continued beatinz it until Swit- zer told him to stop. On cross exam- ination Switzer admitted that he had had trouble with Bokartz, but said that Was not the reason why he complain- ed. Bokartz was found guilty and fined $25 and costs. amounting ‘to $34.10. An appeal was immediately taken and Bokartz released under bonds of $200. - One Goes to Jail. Michael Novaski and Michael Prokap were. charged with intoxication. The former pleaded not guilty and the lat- ter guilty. After hearing the testi- mony of the ‘officer Who made the ar- rest, the court found both guilty and fineq them $2 and costs each. Prokap was unable to pay and went to jail Juggled With Cash Register. Ernest Bellevance, 18, pleaded not guilty through Probation Officer Ly- man to a charge of the theft of $11 from John N. Nelson Gilman. The atbused was employed by Gilman in a lunch cart and Mr. Gilman told of finding the cash drawer short several times. On many sales the accused rang up “No Sale” and pocketed :the money. Bellevance denied Gilman's testimony. He said that one reason for the shortage was the fact that he ate at the lunch cart. After some questioning by Judge Foss he was found guilty and fined §7 and costs, amounting to $12.20. He was placed on probation for six months, during which time he is to pay his fine. Still 178 Class 1 Men. Although the Class 1 men for the national army in many cities have been exhausted, there are still 178 men in that class at the local exemption board, with 44 additional men in Class 1-B, having slight remedial defects, and 45 in the limited service class. At ‘the local [board headquarters, which is district No. 17, 2,338 men reg- istered, and of this number 500 have been placed in Class 1. Two hundred and twenty of these men were inducted into the service and about one hundred enlisted in different branches with cer- tificatess from - the local board. The board consists of chairman, Frank P, Fenton, clerk, and Dr. Clarence E. Simonds, medical member. Kugene Randall has been employed to assist in. the large amount of clerical work. State draft officials have visited the local board a few times and are pleased with the way in which the work has been carried out, complimenting the officials. No notice of the number of men who are to leave in the next call has been officially received at the board, al- thoygh reports have it at 20. Clerk Fenton said Friday_that the numbe Will probably be larger, as several of the boards in the state have run out of Class 1 men. It is probable that all future calls will be based on the number of Class 1-A men, a prop- osition which was advocated only a short while ago. Farewell Supper. Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Dimmock were given a farewell supper Thurs- day evening by about 30 friends and during the evening were presented a handsome traveling bas.

Features of Thursday’s Fire, The fire of Thursday afternoon prob- ably started in a umfi*‘b&m and upmre- room owned by Mrs. Catherine . Shea, as rubbish had been burned be- tween this barn.afid another larger bailding. The fire quickly spread to the larger barn owned by Charles Mulligan and which was sublet to S. Porcaro. This bullding was used part- ly as a barn and there was a place to keep an automobile. A house connect- ed with the barn was badly gutted by the fire and sustained heavy water damage. In the loft of the larger barn was a small quantity of hay which quickly caught fire. At the time that the fire trucks were started for the fire great clouds of black smoke were ascending from this building. The intense heat set the end of a house only a short distance.away on fire. This house was owned by Samuel Bacon and the two tenements were burned considerably. All of the buildings were old ones. The Shea property was damaged about $500 worth; on_this no insurance was carried. Abe Silverstein hired the building, using it for a barn ang store- house, and a large stock of canned goods, wash-powders and turnips was destroyed. The horse and wagon were out of the barn, but considerable har- ness was destroyed. The Bacon property was damazed to the extent of $300, covereq by in- surance, while damage to the Mulli- gan property is estimated at over $1,000; insured. Only children were present when the fire started and the cause is not known, although it probably caught from the rubbish fire. Two small children said that they heard that some boys threw a box of ‘matches in the barn. The alarm was rung in from box 54 by Edward Lyman. While the firemen were fighting the fire an Italian woman who hired a tenement in the building became ex- cited anq it sounded as if she said that there was a baby in the house. Several firemen donned gzas masks and searched the rooms for a child, but found none. Later it was learned that the woman had about $800 in the room, and a small boy took the money out of the house before the fire had gained much headway. blaze haq broken out again. Fire ex- tinguishers and pails of water were used to put out the flames. Western Union telegraph wires were strung within a few feet of the fire and the poles were charred consider- ably, with one wire broken. The com- pany had just finished some repairs on that division. A Western Union man climbed the pole with a fire ex- tinguisher and put out the fire on the pole. SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN AUTO OVERTURNS. Mrs. J. S. Menken in Critical Condition in Hospital as a Result. Mrs. J. Stanwood Menken of Hamp- ton is at St. Joseph’s hospital in a critical condition,*with a fractured skull, as the result of an auto acci- dent at Clark’s Corners Tuesday. , Mr. and Mrs. Menken were in the auto- mobile; Mrs, Menken driving, when they approached a part of the road on which new dirt had been laid. It was a straight portion of the road, but in some way the car skidded and tipped over. Mrs. Menken was pinned be- neath the car and Mr. Menken walked about a quarter of a mile to a house, where he summoned aid. Dr. Marsh was called and he had both brought to St. Joseph's hospital. Mrs. Menken has a fractured skull and there is little hope for her recov- ery, while Mr. Menken is only slightly injured, with bruises and lacerations. He will probably be discharged from the hospital within a few days. The car was only slightly damaged, mainly a broken windshield. RED CROSS COMMITTEES. Appointed at Meeting Held Thursday Evening.

Pttty B s Sty NOTICE Commencing June 1, 1918, the price of gas furnished by this department will be as follows: Up to 30000 cu. ft. per month $1.50 per 1,000 cu, ft. 30,000 to 150,000 cu. ft. per month $1.30 per 1,000 cu. ft. for <ntidle amount used, All over.150,000 cu. ft. per month $1.15 per 1,000 cu. ft. for entire amount used, No bills will be rendered, however, at a less amount than that which fs calculated for the maximum amount at the rate of the preceding block. In making thtis increase, your Com- missioners have given the matter careful consideration and find that, because of the excessive increase of the cost of labor and all material entering into the manufacturing of gas, it is impossible to sell the prod- uct at the present price. It is hoped that this increase will | be but temporary, for, as soon as conditions warrant, the price will be reduced. The City of Nerwich _Gas and, Electrical Department THE GRIZZLY PASSED ON.
