SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

BEFORE JUDGE B0NNEY.
The court room was filled yesterday morn
ing by parties to hear the case of State VS..
Linwood r. Cram and Bion 4. G. Noble for
an assault and battery upon Trial Justice
Arthur E. Bowers Of Baldwin, which. 1t is
said, grew out Of feud between two fac
tlons Of young men in that town, one styling
themselves the "Tuts" and the other the
"Whangdoodles." For some real or fancied
grievance the defendants gave Mr.. Bowers
one evening an unmerciful pounding. They
claim that he drew revolver on them and
what they did was In self defense. They
were complained OF for assault and battery
before the Municipal Court Of Portland,
waived bearing and were found guilty.
Judge Gould sentenced each to sixty days
Imprisonment in the county jail, from which
sentence they appealed to this court
At the coming in of the court M. p. Frank
counsel for the defendants, made a motion
to dismiss the complaint on the ground that
no person can constituti0nally be held to an
swer for an Infamous crime or an assault and
battery OF a high and aggravated nature. ex-
imposed by Judge Gould shows that he con-
sidered the assault OF an aggravated charac-
ter; that such being the case he should have
bound them over instead OF taking jurisdic-
tion himself. Judge Bonney overruled the
motion. The counsel then filed demurrer to
the complaint which the court also overru.ed
and the defendants excepted, and gave bail.
This obviates trial. IL the law court finds
the complaint sufficient and Judge Bonney's
ruling on the motion correct. the defendants
will be sentenced without further hearing.
