A MAYNARD
WOMAN;
Destroys:la Plate Window
and Makes Threats.

The present cold snap was the
cause of Jonas Heck getting drunk
yesterday. 1t was his second trip
in the dock since last May. The
court gave him chance to go.
Maggie Getting was charged with
disorderly conduct. She said it
made no difference to her what dis
position was made of her. John
Getting testified that the prisoner
is his daughter-in-law. She came
to his house and broke the large
bulk window in the store at his
residence. She went there about
o'clock this morning and created
considerable disorder. The court
imposed a fine of $40 and costs. AS
see left the dock she stated that
when she gets out Of jail she will do
worse things than cursing and
breaking windows. The police
have had considerable trouble with
her in the past and her name graces
the jail register in several places.
She is good looking young woman
but drink has been the cause of all
her woes. The court remarked that
when Maggie gets in jail she will
not get out very soon.
Mrs. Maggie Hearn was charged
with assault and battery on Mar
garet Taylor, a 13 year old girl.
Her Testimony was that on last
Saturday morning Mrs. Hearn's
girl struck her and she followed her
down to the pavement in front of
Mrs. Hearn $ residence and struck
her with a stick, pulled her hair
and scratched her face.
Mrs. Martha Porter testified that
she saw Mrs. Hearn's $ little girl
strike her little girl. She went to
'he door and saw the assault COM
mitted. She could not tell whether
Mrs. Hearn was trying to separate
the little girlsor not. The children
have quarreled on former occasions.
North Adams street was well
represented in this case. It ap-
peared that the children have been
having quarrel after quarrel and
that the residents between Second
and Third street on Adams street.
Mrs. Hearn denied that she struck
her daughter. She had only tried
to separate the two girls. When
she reached the door the two girls
were fighting and were scratching
each other in the face and pulling
each others hair. She is a deli
cate woman and consequently had
trouble in getting them asunder.
The court said this was nothing
but children $ quarrel The sur
prising thing in this case is that
Mrs. Porter did not 90 to the assist
ance of her child. The court be-
lieved that Mrs. Hearn went out
there to separate the children. It
is very unfortunate to bring these
cases into court. Mrs. Hearn was
required to pay the costs and enter
in peace bond. LII,
