WE hope that Mr.. James H. Tuke's
statement which the cable brings to THE Dis
PATCH to-day, that there is little likelihood of
a famine in Ireland is correct, but we fail to see
the advisability of Withholding succor, as he
suggests, until the wants of the suffering dis.
tricts are exactly ascertained. Dependence
upon the English Governments methods OF
relief is dangerous, and it will be more humane
to collect the funds and send them to reliable
distributing agencies as soon as possible. If
the money is not needed it can be returned.

IT is we'll to remember that the London
Times denied the danger of famine in Ireland,
just as it is denying it now. in 1913 and 1879.
Famine followed the denial, and If it had not
been for the timely aid from America, lreland's
sutferings would have been even more terrible
than was the case.

The Driver of q Repairing Apparatus Re
ceives q Broken Leg.
Yesterday afternoon the wind blew per-

employed on the electric railway, tighten
ing up the trolly wire and testing the cars.
One trip was made to Main street and back
again to the Broadwater successfully. Out
near Kessler's trestle on wheels was being
used to fix the trolly wires. II stood on the
main track and was being hauled by team
of horses along the line to enable work
man on top to adjust the wires. This tres
tie stands about twelve feet high. When
the electric car came along an attempt was
made to run it onto siding or turnout.
This was accomplished, but in doing SO the
side of the truck was turned to the wind
during terrific blast and the apparatus
tipped over, catching the driver of the team
in it's fall and breaking his right leg below
the knee. Luckily there was no one on top
at the time the trestle tipped over. The
driver, Mr.. Brown. was put aboard the mo-
tor and taken to St. Peters hospital, where
his limb was set and he is getting along as
we'll as could be expected.

THEY COME TO BLOWS.

Lively Encounter Between Two Obstrep-
erous Attorneys.
Yesterday afternoon the case Of Martha
Robertson vs. John Howard and wife was
on trial before Justice Woodman. The
charge was that the de.el.. nts had threat
ened the life of said Il.rtha Robertson,
who demanded that they be placed under
bonds to keep the peace. Edwin ]. Rowe
was prosecuting the case and Col. Thos. f.
Casey conducted the defense in his usual
vigorous manner. The court room was
crowded with men and women; the judge
wore an air of judicial knowledge. but the
cross-fire of the contending attorneys was
rather bewildering and had q tendency to
rattle the best balanced head in the coun-
try. Some progress, however, was being
made and the intricacies of the law were
being slowly unraveled, when Mr.. Rowe, in
the course of his remarks in reply to Col.
Casey, intimated that the latter was dis
honest. The doughty colonel Immediately
retorted with the lie direct, and Selling .
juncture of the proceedings the crowd Of
witnesses and spectators rushed in body
for the door and left the bellieerents to
fight out the battle alone. the judge called
for order and pandemonium reigned su-
preme for few seconds. Rowe held his
ground like little man and struck out with
his right in gallant style. He tapped the
colonel lightly on the left breast, but in do
ing 80 suffered severe confusion of the
little finger, which came in contact with q
rung of the chair. Two officers who were
present now woke up and the belligerents
were seized and separated. The judge
promptly fined both attorneys $40 each for
contempt of court, and refused to proceed
with the trial until the fines were liquidated.
Both attorneys pungled, the judge pocketed
the ducats and postponed the case until to-
day. The result may be summed up as fol-
lows: One finger hurt, bottle Of ink spilled
and $50 gone.
