ACROSS THE BAY.
Fife. the WagOn.Maker, Has Made
an Assignment.
Bcugard Fined for Battering Pantosky-Re-
construction of the 0bservatOry-War-
rants for COck-Fighting.

Old Solomon BougaTQ has been fined $50
for batterng II. Pantosky, the Doultryman.
Pantosky bought the lot given to Mrs. Bou-
gard by Judge Gibson in granting her di-
vorce from old Solomon and the latter new
er forgave him. The row for which Bou-
gard was arrested. and has just been fined,
was over this lot, and in the suit which he
brought against Pantosky for alternating
the affections of his wife and causing her to
leave him, he alleged that this was done
that he might buy the lot eheaply from Mrs.
BOugard. Now it is Pantosky who is again
happy over old SOILS discontinue. The old
man says he will serve the twenty-five days
rather than pay the $50. but it is likely that
few days will see him on the old wagon
again crying out. Sax, bottles, sax"
Notwithstanding the denial of the Nc
AvOys that Jerry Denny, the basel ball
player was in any way interested in the
suit of L. FanDof against the McAvoys, it
would now seem that the statement to that
effect was not far wrong, for Denny yester-
day sued II. J. McAvoy in the justices
Court to recover 1929 alleged to be due for
rents collected.
