rested by Officer Olsen, on complaint of
Simon Hirsh, for being helplessly drunk,
and was lodged In the calaboose, This
morning he was brought before Magistrate
Swander by Marshal Wells and fined S.
and costs.
A warrant was yesterday sworn out by
Mrs. Munson against her husband, Andrew
7. Munson, charging him with having
threatened her life and abusing her and
her daughter. Munson has been on
unfriehdly terms with his wife for some
time and has turned his family out of
doors and at times abused them shame
fully. The other evening he came home
and the usual quarrel began. which re-
suited in Mrs. Munson being compelled to
seek shelter among the neighbors where
they have since remained, being actually
afraid to 60 home fearing violence at his
hands in case they did. The warrant was
! placed IL the hands or Marshal Wtl!s this
morning, who arrested Munson and lodged
him in the caaboose. His trial will
probably occur this evening before Police
Magistrate Swander who has an effet tive
way of dealing with this class of offenders.
1t is to be hoped the prisoner viii be taught
a salutary lesson,
