Two Cases Are
Heard In County
Court Monday
Two cases were tried in Recorder's
court this week and one was
continued to Superior court due to
the fact that it was beyond the
jurisdiction of Judge Taylor's court.
Peter Gayle, negro, plead guilty
to a charge of assault with a deadly
weapon and was sentenced to
work the roads under the supervision
of the State Highway and
Public Works Commission for a
period of six months. The road
sentence was suspended upon the
condition that he pay a $25.00 fine
and court costs, pay Dr. Baxter
$10.00 for medical services rendered
W. H. Phillips, negro who was
assaulted, and pay Phillips $13.00,
the sum which the injured man
had already paid out for medical
aid. The trouble between the two
negroes started, it was said, when
Phillips attempted to pull a woman
out of Gayle's car. Later Gayle
shot him with a pistol.
Talmage Henderson, negro charged
with violating the traffic laws,
was found guilty of driving without
proper lights. Judgement was suspended
upon payment of costs.
The case against Charlie Ellis,
negro charged with assault on a
female with intent to commit rape,
was booked for Superior court.
A case against Henry Hatley,
negro, was continued until January
6. He is charged with assault.

Asks That Dogs
Be Leashed Here
As a precautionary measure
ainst the danger of .rabiets which
pped cut here last week when a
ad dog snapped five Warrenton
rsons, the Board of Town Comissioners
met in special session on
resday and requested this newsper
to ask all dcg owners to keep
eir animals under leasii or muzid
while on the streets of Warnton
until the first of Feburary.
This action was taken by the
wn board upon recommendation
the Board of Health which,
ter discussing the fact that the
g is known to have bitten one
two other dogs and possibly
me more net known about,
ssed the following resolution at
special meeting on Tuesday
orning: "In view of the danger
rabies in the town of Warrenton,
e Board of Health of the County
Warren hereby recommends to
e authorities of said town that
ey take steps to prevent unuzzled
dogs frcm going at large
said town up to the fust of
ibruary, 1935."
While the board took no drastic
tion at the special meeting to
ep unmuzzled dogs from running
3se on the streets, such action
ay be taken if dog owners do not
luntarily cooperate, it was said.
"We did not pass an ordinance
this time requiring owners to
uzzle their dogs but the board
mts it clearlv understood that
ch action will be taken if it hemes
necessary," one of the City
ithers stated.
Those taking the Pasteur treatent
as a result of a mad dog
lapping them last week are Walr
White, Duke Jones, Jchn Hall,
irly Shearin and Billy Peete.

MAD DOG BITES

I
Warrenton Citizens Are
Taking Pasteur Treatment
Here
DOGS ALSO ARE BITTEN
Five Warrenton persons are taking
the Pastern- treatment as a result
of mad dog bites which th;y
received on Tuesday of last week.
Those being inoculated are Walter
R. White, Duke Jones, Early Shearin,
Billy Peete and John Hall.
Mr. Shearin and Mr. Hall were
snapped by the dog last Tuesday
while on the streets of Warrenton
and the other four were bitten that
night while in Hunter Drug Co.
The teeth of the canine sank
into the flesh of Mr. White but
there is some doubt wheTher the
dog broke the skin on the others
when he caught hold of their legs.
The dog did not show symptoms
of rabies and those whom he
gripped were of the opinion that
he was in a playful mood when he
grabbed their legs and tugged at
their trousers. He was the property
of E. L. Green and was known to
have a habit of catching hold of
trousers legs and pulling them to
attract attention. Both Mr. Green
and his son, Buck Green of Durham,
were in the drug store playing
with the dog when he tugged
at Mr. Jones and Mr. Peete and
later snapped Mr. White.
He also grabbed Mr. Buck Green
by the leg but the skin was not
broken and he is not taking the
treatments.
In addition to grabbing and biting
these people, he was in a fight
with Vance Neal's dog and is
thought to have bitten several
other animals. Mr. Neal has killed
his dog and others are being kept
in confinement.
The dog began to show symptoms
of hydrophobia Wednesday morning
when he refused to eat, it was
stated. Later he was carried to Dr.
Yow, vetenarian of Henderson, who
stated at the time the dog showed
symptoms of being mad. He died In
the vetenarian's hospital and his
* * ?- J-_ 1 ?- "T
neaa was sent 10 me state uaouratory
in Raleigh where chemists
pronounced him mad.
Four of the victims began taking
their treatments on Saturday
and the fifth, Mr. Hall, who said
he was bitten twice, began receiving
his doses on Tuesday.
The dog was vaccinated against
rabies in March, it was stated.
Man Pays County
25-Year-Old Debt;
Dies In Few Days
B. S. Feild, native of Warren who
died at 'his home at Statesville on
Sunday, paid Warren county a 25year-old
debt a few days before his
death, it was learned this week
from Auditor Tom Gardner.
Mr. Gardner said he received a
$4.00 check from Mr. Feild about
ten days ago but at the time he
did not know what it was for and
that a visit and inquiries at the
Clerk's office and the office of the
Register of Deeds failed to throw
any light on the situation. He said
that he wrote to Mr. Feild for an
explanation and was advised by
him that the check was for some
money which he collected as fees
in Warren county around 25 yeais
ago and failed to turn in when he
moved out of the county. He stated
in his letter to Mr. Gardner that
he discovered the debt recently
