TROUBLE ON THE HIGHLAND.
Two Frenchmen Are Fined for Disturbing the
Peace. ETC.. on Sunday.

Two Frenchmen, who understood not
| the English language, were brought
| before Judge Andrews, Monday after
| noon, on complaints from Patrolmen
Randall and Miron.
| After a hearing of half an hour or
| more the two men,, Peter Gagney and
Arthur Vigue, We're fined S. and So
| respectively-th one for raising a dis
| turbance on the afternoon air; the
other for being intoxicated.
To fully understand the full effect of
the disturbance one has to put himself
On the scene, Sunday afternoon, when
the French residents of Cushnoc
Heights, where many of the mill opera
tives live in the Bond street section.
They are a quiet and orderly people;
but. they enjoy the air, and, on a Sun
day afternoon, when the weather is
pleasant, the promenades are crowded
with them-men, women, and children.
1t was under such conditions that
Peter Gagney. as alleged. started out
among his acquaintances-even among
his friends-to pick a fight, for he had
noon. He didn't care who it was he
fought with, provided it be someone
that would stand up and let him try
his fancy blows on. He went from
Percival's store over to Moore's. and
from Moores back to Percival's, but
no one cared or dared to meet him
BE was more or less quiet about it a
first, and people paid no notice. But
his voice rose, and then from far and
near there assembled a great crowd
Gagney had met Arthur Vigue
The latter owed him 1925. and Gag
ney would have the money or there
would be row.
Vigue's brother came upon the
scene and took up the cause of his
brother Then Vigue offered to lei
Gagney have the chair on which he
owed the money, although he had paid
81 on it. But, that would not do. So
Vigue gave the troublesome one a S.
bin. Try hard as he would. he could
find no one who could change it and
the difficulty deepened. Then it was
that the police found it necessary to
step in. One of the Vigues and Gag
nay had started away on the Bond
Brook road, for the purpose Of finding
a good place to fight, when the officers
arrested them. and before the eyes of
great numbers of their respective sup
porters, they were taken to the lookup.
During the hearing of the evidence,
the two patiently waited, expression
less. for they understood nothing.
When, through the interpreter. Joseph
Gilbert they had their say, they both
continued the war of wordy contes;
over the injustice each had suffered at
the others hands. They paid their
respective fines, but are no nearer
settling the trouble over the chair than
they We're before.

The Lotus Gets into Court.

The Lotus, a local magazine after
the order of the Black Cat, has
found it's way into the courts aftel

Hudson K imberly Publishing Com
pany, who traded it to Frank A
Galley. of Sl5 East Sixteenth street
in consideration of a corner lot Ia
Newkirk, o. Il one OF the mush
room villages Of the recently open
territory. Galley iatimates in his
petition that the circulation was
padded in a manner most wonderful
to behold, and that, as a matter OF
cold, hard fact, the publication had
few readers, aud the advertising
patronage was not sufficient to de-
fray the running expenses. GALLEY
yesterday brought suit in the cir
cult court to recover l,709 from
Hudson & Kimberly, as he thinks
that sum would about equalize the
trade he made for the magazine. -
