TWO TROUBLE SEEKERS
Punishmen Melted Out to Them
by Justice Devine.
DISTURBED THE PEACE
Marco Budovinich Got Hit in the Brow
and Fined for His Offense-Harry
McElroy Got Thirty
Days in Jail.

With the imprint of beer glass on
his brow and a look of innocence ming
led with one of resentment in his eyes,
Marco Budovinich was before Justice
of the Peace William Devine yesterday
afternoon to answer to the charge Of
disturbing the peace.
Arrayed against Marco as the chief
witness for the state was Mike Korsch,
proprietor of the Fountain saloon on
East Park avenue. 1t was Mike who
had dented Marcos face with the beer
glass and procured his arrest. To-day
before Justice Devine the positions of
the two will be reversed. Marco will
be the chief witness for the state and
Mike will be defending himself against
the charge of assault in the third de-
gree, which, stripped of the legal term,
means soaking Marco over the eye.
Mike told his story briefly. Marco,
he said. had come into the saloon in an
ugly frame of mind, and insisted upon
having trouble. The pugilistic Austrian
had hammered upon the bar called the
witness unprintable names and howled.
This had interfered with Mikes bust
ness.

was to it.
SCARED up, game-eyed and care
Worn individual, who gave no name,
testified he had been sitting in the back
room when the fracas occurred. He
corroborated all that Mike had said and
added a few touches for luck, including
the statement that Marco had cursed

Prosecuting Attorney Duffy.

swore he hadn't made any disturbance
! and that he had been as quiet and
peaceable as a lamb until Mike had

In view of the fact that Marco has a

Harry McElroy, a colored man. was
