AN ALDEN BLOCK ROW.
In Which q Water Pitcher Plays Prom
inent Part.

In Which a Water Pitcher Plays Prom
inent Part.
There was racket enough about 1:30 yes-
terday morning in the Alden block to at
tract the attention OF two policemen.
When they got inside a woman named Ella
Thompson was found with badly cut
head. She said the wound was caused by
a small drinking pitcher in the hands of
j. w. Webster. a news agent on the North
srn Pacific railroad. The physician who
dressed the wound said il was bad cut.
Webster had been paying attention to two
women who live in the Alden
block and created some jealousy,
which led up to the early morning
row. Sergeant Frey took the oodstained
pitcher, with its bottom knocked out. to
the station, and yesterday it was produced
before Police Justice Crutcher. Webster
pleaded guilty to assault and Was fined $46
by his honor. The woman in the case ap-
peared in court after Webster was fined.
Judge Clutcher said II he had seen the
woman before he would have increased the
amount. At first it was thought the woman's
skull had been fractured Every night the
sounds of revelry may be heard issuing
from the block.
