Two Pine Street La
dies Tell of Their
Troubles.
Was No Cause For Complaint


There was more fun than little at a
Jury case before Judge Curtis yesterday,
and the spectators who were on hand en-
loved the case not little. 1t was a row
between two ladies who lived in the same
house in Pine street. Mrs. Augusta
Weege was arrested on complaint oil Mrs.
Emma Gren for assault and battery.
She pleaded not guilty and the matter
was such trivial affair that the Judge
tried his beet to settle Ii out OF court,
but they wanted to fight IL out with a
Jury, and accordingly one was secured.
One of the parties is Finnish and the
other Norwegian, and the case had to be
tried with the aid OF interpreters. As
much as could be made out OF it was
that one OF the women had borrowed
some wood from the other and was re-
turning It., while the other was returning
some butter to the first lady from whom
she had borrowed it. They met in the
hallway and then began the tug OF war.
Words we're passed and the one with the
butter, claiming it was not good and de-
string the other to smell Tor herself,
daubed it on her face and also in her hair,
and the other welded a piece OF wood
with good effect. The jury thought the
matter over, and then brought in YER
dict OF no cause tor complaint.
Alex Martin was sued for SIS in JUS
tice Curtis court Monday, which Mrs.
Hannala claimed he owed her for board.
1t seems that Alex had boarded with her
for two months last winter in the woods
and had only paid her SIS, while he had
agreed to pay SIS a month. In court
Mr.. Martin made a very eloquent plea Tor
himself. setting up that the board was
by no means what it ought to have been,
and that quail on toast and oysters were
rare-exceedingly rare-dishes. But all
his eloquence and poetical quotations
did not suffice and the Judge awarded
Judgment for the full amount aud the
costs, and Alex had to pay, 1t was also
brought out at the trial that he had
given Mrs. Hannala an order Tor the
amount, which she could not secure the
cash for.
John Kaligaia, who was arrested on
complaint OF Elias Batano for assault
and battery, having inflicted severe
black eye on Elias, was up before Justice
Curtis, where he pleaded guilty and was
assessed SO and costs.
Deputy Sheriff Reed arrested two young
men named Martin Mayerle and Nick
Saitz for creating a noise and disturb
ance. They were up before the Judge
Monday evening and were assessed 50
and costs each, upon pleading guilty to
the charge

New Addition.

Messrs. Johnson Vivian. Jr., & Co, the
progressive merchants are soon TO en-
large their Laurium store which has
long been too small to accommodate
their immense and Notwithstanding bus
mess. Charlton, Gilbert & Demar. the
architects. have prepared plans for
third story TO be built on the building.
The roof will be raised and the improve
ment will not only give them one-third
more room, but will greatly improve the
outside of the building as the front will
be finished off in most elaborate style.
The third story will be devoted to differ
ent departments, with special arrange
ments for the ladies' cloak department.
The store will be fitted in true city style
and there will be ladies' parlor OF wait
ing room on the third floor. With the
additional room the second floor OF the
store will be fitted up for regular sales
departments. When one thinks OF the
very few years ago when this firm erected
their mammoth store in it's present site
and people thought it was of the
earth" and that it would be impossible
to build up profitable business there
and now look at the wonderful change,
the true story OF the remarkable growth
OF Laurium in such short space Of time
is very evident.
Although the contract for the improve
ments has not yet been let it will be soon
and work commenced in few weeks.
