NJ. T. O'Connor will keep the peace
for the intervening period between now

injury to E. L. Strauss, and Judge Chase
thought he would be more quiet under
bonds. Con. Peoples went on his bond.

admit it, the judge made his fine $40 and
costs, which amounted altogether to $27,
and ten days in the jail. The defendant
says he will pay the fine and costs Sat-
