Quite little ripple of excitement was Great
ed on Monday last on the monotonous surface
of our justice courts by the commencement Of
two cases of assault and battery. The first
grew out Of disturbance between George
Williams, who is night watcbman at Allen &
Sons tsnnery. and Michael Griffin, TOO we'll
known in our justice courts to need special
Identification. This disturbance occurred
in the alley between John Schmitt's store
and O. NJ. Calkins' store Theodore Mygatt,
seeing the disturbance, interfered, as the
testimony clearly showed, to prevent fight,
whereupon Griffin. INDUCING his propensity
to get into court, had Mygatt arrested for
assault and battery. Upon hearing the tes.
timony, Judge NORM unhesitatingly dis
charged Mygatt. Mike has got so much to
offset against the large aggregate he has paid
to the county. The second case, which inn
mediately followed the one last mentioned,
was on the complaint Of Mr.. H. Watner, of
the Grant House, against John German,
driver of one of the public stages. There
was hutter of excitement along the street
about this case and considerable interest is
conferred in the result We forbear any
criticism or statement Of facts until the trial.
The case having been called, and preliminary
proceedings accomplished. was adjourned
