Fined for Assault.

Harry Callahan was taught a
lesson by Judge Ball in the city
Court this morning, that he should
not forget. 1t should also be a
warning to class Of young men in
this city who drink heavily and Wis.,
it Objectionable resorts. He was
fined $40 and costs for committing
an assault on animate of a house
Of questionable character. The
evidence was to the effect that Cal
lahan, was at the house when the
door bell rang. He was about to
60 to the door, when the girl in the
parlor informed him that it was
against the rules to do SO. Gala
han had cane in his hand such as
is carried by cake walkers; he aim.
ed a blow at the girls head, but she
lodged the blow and received the
full force on her side. She cried
out, "You have killed me; my back
is broken" The force of the blow
caused the girl to be unconscious
for Is minutes. Two doctors were
summoned and found the blow had
raised large welt on the girls
side. Callahan claimed he was
drunk, but the Court informed him
that drunkenness is no excuse for
crime, and imposed the fine NEIL
toned.
