Charged With Assault.

/: Mr.. Duncan McPheil, OF Boston. SAYS
he will not chase man again in order
to grab him and reason with him. That
was Mr.. McPheil's explanation of the
occurrence which lead to his presence in
the Municipal Court Saturday morning
to answer to charge of assault and
battery, preferred against him by Charles
Henry Mcclellan. Mr.. Mcclellan has
charge OF one of the pile drivers at work
on the new Grand Trunk elevator. Mr..
Mcclellan told Judge Robinson Saturday.
that McPheil threatened to assault him
aud chased him to the door of his house.
Mr.. Mcclellan reached the door about
two feet ahead of Mr.. McPheiI, who. by
the way, is good deal bigger man than
Mr.. Mcclellan. As the door slammed
to behind McLel Ian it encountered Nc
Pheil's outstretched arm, and a pane of
glass was demolished. Mr.. Mcclellan
denied that he had been the cause of Mr..
McPheil's losing his job. He turn I'D to-
wards the prisoners dock, and shaking
his finger at McPheil announced that he
could prove 1t, proceeding which made
1t necessary for the Judge to remind Nc
Lellan that he should address his re-
marks to the Court rather than the priso.
ner. MoPheil wanted to testify in his
own behalf, and told substantially the
same story as did Mcclellan, except that
he explained that his only purpose was
to get hold of Mcclellan in order that ba
might reason with him. The breaking
of the glass he said was an accident. and
he had offered to pay for 1t.
Judge Robinson mol pressed the CHARGE
of battery, fined MoPheil ten dollars and
costs for a simple assault and warnac
him that if he repeated his performance
he would be put under bonds to keen ths
peace.
Richard Hammond will have 30 DAVIS

gence in the cup which inebriates. Han
