Numter OF thtfttsth- sa-cr D'-P"-'"
of-saIe of Unsound Meat ia the Market
to be Squelohcd.
About three weeks ago Alvey +. Bar
iholomew, young man twenty-three
years OF age, aud not al all stout, was de-
livering milk from Chsftn's dairy when
a number Of small white boys came up 10
him. One OF them, John r. Rowe,
banding him a milk ticket for one pint
bottle OF milk, asked IL il was good ior
pint Of milk. Bartholomew looked at
the ticket and retained possession OF 1t
by virtue of the printed endorsement on
the back, good only for the purchaser.
He carried the ticket to Mr.. Chsffin.
Last Sunday he was going bis rounds
delivering milk when he passed the cor
ner of Marshall and Monroe streets, when
the youthful Rowe called Bartholomew a
thief. Bartholomew delivered his milk
on the square, and being pursued with
cries Of thief" slapped the face OF
young Rowe. This brought Mr. Edward
Rowe, the father, and Mr.. John J. King,
the grandfather Of the boy, to the
rescue.
The result can better be told in the
language Of Mrs. Taylor, a pleasant ell
Derby lady, who was visiting in the
neighborhooi and saw it all. Her evi-
dence was given in clear, lucid and
concise form and in remarkably fine and
correct English. She knew none OF The
parties in the case and had no interest
either way. She said III was sitting a.
the window, saw two men, one elderly
ard one Younger, run across TO the milk
wagon. One caught the horse and the
other went to the driver" She iden,i-
fed King and Rowe as the parties
Then she saw Rowe get I'D
the wagon and catch Bartholomew by
the left arm while Mr. King on the other
side caught him by the feet One pulled
and the other showed and landed Bar
tholomew on the pavement. She saw
King hold him down and Rowe strike
him three times Witness ran out alter
Policeman ChesteTman, who lived on the
square, but in her excitement rang The
bell of the next-dOor house and when
she returned the row was over. When
asked by Mr. King If only one blow was
passed she said II saw three before leit
to get the policeman. | left because
thought you were going 10 kill him.
Bartholomew testimony was TO the
same effect. lie said he was struck three
times while down, and held by two men
much larger than himself. Other wit
nessee saw Bartholomew pull and hold
King down, but did not see the blows
passed They afterwards saw him get up
and drive away.
Mr.. King said that he took the man
out of The wagon in order to get a! The
ticket which had been taken from hi'
grandson. He thought il had been taken
Sunday. He and Rowe put the man on
the ground and then IT came 10 MS
Judgment that he had no right 10 go IL
a mans pocket, and he let him up. Rowe
only struck him once, and witness iolo
him not TO do that.
Rowe was quite excited on the stand
| He said his sister-in-law came screaming
down stairs that somebody was murder
ing his son. He and his father in-law
ran across and saw Bartholomew getting
in bis wagon. His boy lad red cheek
/ He grabbed the horse. King demanded
the ticket. the man told him 10 get i
| from NJ Chaffr. They then TOOK nun
out. when his sober judgment told hin
he should aot do this, and he only siruct
the boy once. Mr.. Rowe had TO be cor
rected several times by the Court WINE
Mr.. Allan, counsel for MI. Chanln
questioned him. The Court had 10 Tel
! him that Mr.. Allan had the right TO ques
| lion him, as he made his living ina
way.
Mr.. Chafin said that the reason why
tickets we're not acknowledged excep
| from regular customers, was because n
lost a good many jars by their beinl
given indiscriminately 20 different BOYS
and others.
Bartholomew acknowledged calling ih'
bow a " damn little liar He and Row
were fined s. each, and King was di'
charged.
