FINE OR IMPRISONMENT.


A Case of Assault ON Woman and
Child,
John Freiter was up before Justice Wood
man yesterday charged with disturbing the
peace. John is large, powerful man. He
lives on Park avenue, near the Yaw Yaw
ditch, and it appears from the testimony
that he became annoyed at his nelghbors to
such an extent that he took matters into his
own hands yesterday and attacked small
boy whom he found PLAYING on the stairs
and nearly shook the life out of him. Not
satisfied with this he went to the boys
home and attacked Mrs. Winke, mother of
the lad, and drove her out of her own house.
For this unseemly conduct complaint of
assault was sworn out by Colmer Winke.
Judge Woodman fined Mr.. Freiter $35 or
thirty days in Jail. He went to jail.

COURTS AND CRIMINALS.

John Freiter Arrested for Attack
ing Mrs Winke and Her
Small Boy.
Yesterdays Proceedings in tho District
and United States Circuit Courts
Other Court News.

rather serious difficulty occurred on the
east side yesterday in which neck-yoke
played conspicuous part. It appears that
Mr.. I. r. Idell owns a lot through which
Transfers have been in the habit of driv-
ing. He forbid the use of his premises as a
public thoroughfare and warned several
persons not to again tresspass upon his
private property. But this warning was
not needed by John Miller. He attempted to
drive through the lot yesterday. Mr.. 1dell
protested, hot words we're used and finally
Miller attacked Mr.. Idell, who defended
himself with the neck-yoke of wagon
He struck at Miller's head, but the latter
threw up his arm and received the blow,
which peeled the skin from the wrist to the
elbow. At this point of the fracas Mrs.
Idell came out Of the house and sided with
her husband. Miller threatened to assault
her and Idell ran into the house and got q
pistol to defend himself and wife. This
had the effect of quieting the matter.
Complaint was lodged against Miller before
Judge Woodman for assault and the case
will probably be tried to-day.

and finally as journalist, | have travelled
at least ), 900 miles in lengthy trips on horse
back, as much on foot and by stage coach,
and much more by water, in every state
west and south of the Hudson and in
Canada and Mexico, and the rude or
insulting people | have met have not been
as one in five hundred. All these things
make me think hat we Americans. of all
sorts, are a pretty fair set of folks, and II
we knew each other better we should love
each other more.
We have a natural vice, however, and
it is not intemperance, as so many think.
MOI is it avarice especially-we want mo-
ney chiefly for the fun of spending it-nor
vanity, nor yet RIGHTEOUSNESS. Our ma
tional vice is, to put it ~bluntly-lying.
This is all the more remarkable as our
English cousins are the most inveterate
truth tellers in the world. We Americans
exaggerate or depreciate everything; not
one article or incident in a hundred is just
as it is represented. If the reader thinks
this a rash statement let him consider the
question: How many eminent men are
there whose statements on any political
matter would be accepted in full, as of
course? Even in aiming to tell the truth
they illuminate it fearfully; they illustrate
1t with cuts-very liberal cuts. Our hui
NOR is chiefly broad exaggeration. And
this habit is probably the real reason why
the people in each section know so little of
those of other sections, why they expect
when travelling to meet the people l have
mentioned-most of which people l have
not met. j. H. BEADLE.
