BOND FIXED
FOR GALLOWAY.
The examining tiial of Will:
i Galloway, who assaulted and cut |
Virgil Caldwell of Bradford in'
the red light district Saturday j
night, was held before Justice
! Guy Smith Thursday.
The defendant was held to the
: next grand jury, his bond being
fixed at $300. As he is a stranger;
here he was unable to secure
I same that afternoon and was
j therefore remanded to jail.
Caldwell is reported to be im
proving gradually at his home in
Bradford, and it is now thought
that he will recover. A travel
ing man is the authority for the
statement that the wounded man
says that he is to blame for the
whole trouble. It is said that
l Caldwell has the reputation of
being an obstreperous bully when
drunk, and eye witnesses claim
that the scrape was forced upon
Galloway.
