in $500 for her appearance at court,
on a charge Of assault and battery pre-
ferred by Mrs. Wickizer. The hearing
was held before Alderman Kellow. The
testimony tended to show that the al
legged assault was caused by the fact
that Mrs, Wickizer had put man,
who boarded with them, out of doors,
claiming that she had enough 40 do
to care for her family and the boarder,
not paying any board, had to so.
At least that is what Mrs. Wickizer
says and she accomplished the "go"
by hustling him out. Her husband, 1t
seems forcibly objected. Then was the
hand of justice called into play to even
up matters.
