ASSAULT AND DATTERY.-lDe case OF
A. B. Shaefer, proprietor of Lagrues
Restaurant. Meadow Valley street, was
heard yesterday in Justice Stouten-
burgh's Court. A. B. Hunt appeared
for the prosecution and w. W. Bishop
for the defense. The complaining wit.
ness was French cook who formerly
worked for the defendant. On Sunday
morning, the complainant alleges that
he was assaulted and beaten by defend
ant, and his head and face showed that
he had been roughly handled. The de-
tense showed that Durand was drunk
and unable to attend to the duties of his
position and upon being expostulated
with became abusive and called the de-
PENDANT bad names. Defendant then
put complainant out of the kitchen.
Both the defendant and his second cook
testified that Durand was not struck at
all, and the most rational theory of
the case is that Durand, being intoxica-
ted, fell and hurt himself. The Jury
took the case after argument by counsel,
and the jdry failing to agree, were dis
charged.
ANOTHER ASSAULT AND BATTERY.--Ye
terday afternoon, while Justice Stouten-
burgh was engaged in the case of the
State VS.. Schaefer, for assaulting Du-
rand, o man named A. Peterson appeared
upon the scene, and the streaks of blood
which covered his head and face indi-
Gated that he had been the victim of
savage assault. A warrant was sworn
out, and officer Mcintyre made the ar
rest The defendant in this case was
- Carman, blacksmith. Upon being
made acquainted with the matter of the
charge against him, he made no denial.
He stated, however, that Peterson first
soundly abused him, but afterwards
apologized. Subsequently Peterson came
to the blacksmith's shop, where Carman
was at work, and began his abuse again.
Finally, Carman says, to put stop TO
such proceedings, he struck Peterson
with bar of iron. This is, in our esti-
nation, only technical assault, yet it
will be the duty of the Court to pass SEN
tence at O'Clock this morning.
ANOTHER HOUSE BROKEN ISTo.-Night
before last the house of woman was
broken into by two men, Joseph Lafuer
and John Harper, one of the men kick
ing in the front door and the other max
ing havoc of the entrance from the rear.
Both parties were arrested by officer
Boyd and taken to jail. Harper was
badly beaten by some one, and was so in
toxicated that he had to be taken to the
lookup on wagon. Lafleur, who
awaits the action of the Grand Jury for
shooting at a woman some weeks since,
was admitted to bail for this offense
The case will be tried this morning in
Justice Stoutenburgh' Court, when the
merits Of the case will be brought out.
This practice of breaking in houses, no
matter who the occupant may be, is
highly reprehensible, and the perpetra-
tor Of such IN offense should be vigor-
ously dealt with.

terrain the people Of Phoebe with lee

rhine Reporter, in series of open letters
to Brigham Young, in which the Massa.
ere at the Mountain Meadows was the
objective point; and there can be nc
doubt that the lecture will be of especia
interest to the people Of our city, in view
of the fact that we are living in the i'm,
mediate neighborhood of the scene of the
massacre.
