Cut With n Razor.

There was lively time in the house of a col
ored man named Sidney at Rrightwood yester-
day. Mrs. Sidney died yesterday and about an
hour afterward her two sons-in-law, Frank
DAVIS and William West, met in the house.
Davis was apparently under the influence of
liquor. He wanted to know why West was
there, and not receiving a reply as soon as he
expected one he drew razor and attempted to
use it upon West. Mr.. Sidney, the authoritarian,
appeared upon the scene and prevented Davis
from cutting West. The trouble caused some
excitement among the grief-stricken relatives
of the deceased. and Policeman West WAS sent
for. He arrived in few minutes and placed
Davis under arrest. Davis was locked up at
the eighth precinct station until this morning,
when he was taken to the Police Court and
tried. Judge Miller fined him $50 for carrying
the razor and S25 for trying to use it. Davis
will probably not have an opportunity to at
tend his mother-in-laws funeral.
