An About q Man.

Sarah Z. Enson, colored was charged
with committing an assault and bat
terry on Anna Dickson, also colored.
Both the accused and the prosecuting
ore attractive looking eolored damsels,
and tho evidence showed that George
Colville, young colored man, had
for the past two years been very at
tentive to the accused. He works In
brickyard, and about l2 O'Clock on the
night OF July "a, met Anna Dickson,
when, as the testimony of the prose-
cutrlx showed. Sarah came up behind
them, and after knocking her down,
rolled her in the street. Colyllle, who
is on Sarah's bond, testified that she
did not strike her, and that he separated
them before they came to blows.
The Judge came to the conclusion.
TINT as George was more in love with
Sarah than Anna, he had made his tes-
t1mony TO fit the case, and sentenced
the prisoner to pay the costs, amounts
ing TO over 80, which there is no doubt
that George will settle.
He also said that he could not sec
what use there was lp any one wasting
valuable time In quarreiing over Ooh
ville,as he considered him an unworthy
subject for any one to have any trou-
bic about.
