There are many who do not take much stock in the story of assault as told by Mrs, N. c. Birge, better known as Mat Moon. The woman in question came down from Hanover on the last car Thursday night and was in such an intoxicated condition that she made a show of herself, much to the disgust of several of the other passengers on the car. She was carried by her home on the west side and finally got off at the corner of Hall avenue with two young fellows, who are we'll known, and If her story of the alleged assault is true she can easily bring the cul- prits to the borough court and have the case thoroughly aired up. The story as is told Is not probable one.
