The grievance of B. c. Platt is of the
double-jointed variety, 1t being divided
into two parts. His feelings were ruffied
to the extent of $4,000 by an article that
appeared in The Herald on September
20, wherein B. c. Platt was animadver-
ted upon for practicing as a physician
without license and advertising to
cure consumption which is the bane of
the civilized world and is generally re-
garded as a practically incurable dis
ease at the present stage of medical
knowledge.
B. C. Platt pleads guilty to having suf-
fered arrest for practicing medicine
without a license. but the reflections
upon Butchers method" he considers
false and malicious, and alleges that "a
great number of persons, SO numerous
that it is inconvenient and impractical
BILE to name them," would have patron
lied him and purchased bottle or two
of Butchers method" had 1t not been
for that article. After reading The Her
aid description of B. c. Platt, the suffer-
ing public, like certain parsonage of
old, walked by on the other side and
gave Butchers method" the go-by
On September oath B. G. Platt's feelings
were again ruffled another $4,000 worth
by a second article which, in general
trend and effect was much the same as
the first. He says that re has been pre-
JUDGED and injured in his business and
the reputation of "Buthcher's method"
has been knocked into a metaphorical
cocked-hat. He has thus been prevent
ed from acquiring great gains which he
might and otherwise would have ac-
quired" and feels sore in consequence.
AS a monetary salve for all the injuries
sustained in mind, body and estate B. G.
Platt asks the court to award him the
100000 aforesaid, with attorneys fees
and costs of suit thrown in for good luck.

ON THE wARPATH
Belle Williams Nearly Knocks Out Off
Ger Matuszkiewiz

A crowd Of several hundred people
congregated in front of the police sta
tion last night about o'clock as the
patrol wagon was driven hurriedly up
and fighting, screaming, desperate
negress, dragged out and into headquar-
ters by the combined exertions of sew
eral officers. The woman was the motor
ious prostitute, Belle Williams, who has
given the officers no end Of trouble and
has served terms innumerable in the
city Jail for different causes.
She was plying her vocation of street
walking and soliciting on Main street
above Commercial street, last night,
when Officer Matuzskiewiz accosted he-
and told her to deSiSt and get off the
street or he should run her in. Belle
was half full of bad liquor and in n
Quarrelsome mood. She replied to the
policeman, calling him several kinds of
Dutchman, defied him to arrest her
and finally struck him heavy right
handler in the jaw.
At this Matuszkiewiz grappled her
and placed her under arrest. This was
all right as far as it went, but he had
all kinds of trouble keeping her arrest
ed. Not wishing to hurt her, he hugged
her closely in his arms, but she got a
grip on his throat and broke loose. He
asked the wench repeatedly to go along
peaceably and she finally promised to
do so. No sooner had Matuszkiewiz re-
leased his hold on her than she sudden
ly whirled and struck him over the head
with some blunt instrument, cutting the
scalp open and causing profuse bleed
ing.
Again he grappled and Belle was
thrown to the pavement. the policeman
falling on top. There they wrestled,
encouraged by remarks from bystand-
ers until the patrol wagon with rein
forcements arrived. The negress was
placed into the wagon and was driven
rapidly to the Jail, all the time yelling
like demon and attracting a larga
crowd. Once linside the station she
wilted and pretended to be badly hurt
complaining of pains in her side. Both
she and the officer were covered with
blood, which had poured from the wound
in the policeman's scalp. Belle got q
cot in the receiving hospital and DR..
Bryant was sent for. He sewed up the
wound in Matuszkiewiz's head and
patched up hole in the palm of his
right hand where Belle had sunk her
ivories through the flesh. The officer
cleaned up and went back to his beat
An examination of the woman showed
that she had not been hurt. She was ac-
cordingly locked up and will on Monday
probably get another sentence in which
to renew her old Jail acquaintances.
