 There was a mixture of almost all na- tionalities in court this morning and Prosecuting Attorney O'Neill had a hard time spelling out some peculiar names. It would puzzle literary ex- pert to follow the syllables as they fell from the attorneys lips, but neverthe- less the accused somehow grasped the idea that they were wanted and always answered.
 James McGrath settled his case for as sault on Herbert Deniche, on payment of S7.50.
 William Frederick. aged II. William Nugent, II, and Matthew Casey, II, were charged with assault on Thomas Erwin yesterday. Erwin, who had re- ceived permission to take some apples from a yard on Westside hill. was set upon by crowd of young fellows. Er- win said this morning that there were forty five in all. The game was a one sided affair. Stones were used and Er- win IS nursing a very sore eye where one of the missiles caught him. Judge Root continued the case until to- morrow morning.
