TEE COURT APPALLED,.
Judge Crayens Stumped by a Chicken
Controversy.
a Whole Neigh borhood's Peace Broken
by a Pair of Roaming boosters
and Some Hens.

| Judge Cravens' court was invested
with number of people from Nineteenth
| and @ streets yesterday. Mrs. Phelps
was there, Mrs. Erett, some cousins and
aunts, and stepfather-in-law, some
passers-by, some neighbors and the
butcher-boy.
Mrs. Phelps had Mrs. Erett arrested
for battery; and Mrs. Erett charged Mrs.
Phelps with the same offense.
Then all the Witnesses testified in diff
ferent ways, and it was all about some
chickens. a game rooster and several
feminine chickens of an unknown de-
nomination and belonging to Mr.. Cox
abdicated their home demesnes and
strayed over the way to Mrs. Erett's
premises.
Mrs. Erett had no fence, and the fowls
chewed up all the garden sass they could
reach, trampled the grass, and the rooster
kicked at Mrs. Eretts Oldest boy.
This was not the first time the CHECKER
had been troublesome, either. They had
infringed on the forbidden grounds be-
fore.
Shortly after the advent Of the fowls
they were "shooed" out into the alley,
and after they had been ''shooed" Mrs.
Phelps niece came over to Mrs. Eretts
| in quest of the chickens.
They were not there. They had very
properly gone away when "shooed.'
Then Mrs. Phelps came over and
wanted to know some things. Then she
wanted to go on the premises and look
up the game fowls. to which Mrs. Erett
objected, and at this point the battery is
supposed to have occurred.
Mrs. Phelps came over with head erect
and folded arms, and assumed an attitude
both dignified and austere. But Mrs.
Erett didn't finch. Then Mrs. Phelps
told Mrs. Erett she was drunk and that
all the neighbors knew she got drunk
Then Mrs. 7. punched Mrs. E. with her
elbows, whereupon the latter seized the
former and called her boy, Lewis, to help
in ejecting her from the Erett freehold
and premises. So violent was the attack
that some marks were alleged to be actu-
ally discernible ON Mrs. Phelps arm at
ter the occurrence, while Mrs. Erett com
plains of having been struck below the
belt.
Hence the trouble has been ventilated,
but not satisfactorily adjusted.
The court would only listen to one case,
and then discharged the whole neighbour
hood. The Judge expressed the opinion
that the law was not equal to these
| chicken cases.
1--WE need two more ordinances" said
the Judge, Ito favor prospective peace.
! We must have no more chickens, and
then have higher fences between neigh
| bors. This is the best we can do"
