WARRANT SERVED ON BLAIR IN PROUTY CASE
Druggist Immediately Gives $1,000 Bonds for Appearance In Court
Charles Blair, East Side druggist, of Newport, who was involved in a fight with Ward Prouty, in the latter's law office on Main street, Saturday night, was out on $1,000 bond today, awaiting a hearing which is expected to be held in a few days.
A warrant, drawn up by State's Attorney Frank D. Thompson, charging him with breach of the peace, was served on Blair late Tuesday by Constable A. O. Swett. As soon as Constable Swett received the warrant he got in touch with Blair by telephone and the latter immediately came over to the Court House and arranged his bond.
Blair was visited by Constable Swett Saturday night after the fracas took place but refused to make an arrest as Blair promised to report to the officer as soon as he was wanted.
It is believed that in addition to the state's charges, Prouty will also bring suit for personal damages against Blair.
