JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.
With Hannah SOiga- REV. GendaIl
Pleasantly Surprised.

At the office of Justice John McCaf-
ferty, of Mayfield. on last Friday morn
ing, John Bullock procured a warrant
for the arrest of Gurbenski charging
him with malicious mischief. He said
that Gurbenski smashed the windows
with a stick. Later in the day Cur
benski was given a hearing and it ap-
peared from the evidence given that
Bullock, with a few other men. were
in the house of Hannah Solga, drink
ing beer when Gurbenski entered the
house, thinking to enjoy himself with
them. But his reception was of the
"cold hand and marble heart" order.
This aroused Gurbenskis anger and he
became a Veritable cyclone, breaking
the door and smashing the windows
with a club. The justice, after hearing
the evidence, held the defendant in $500
bail for his appearance at court. Cur
benski then sued Bullock for assault
and battery, charging that Bullock in
Vited him into the house of Hannah
Solga to help drink the beer, and that
when he got him into the house he
locked the door and began beating him
with bottles and glasses. The squire
| held Bullock to the same amount OF
bail as Gurbenski. Both finally agreed
to settle the case by paying half the
costs each.
