preside over the second inning in the
Tingstrom-F Fairbanks feud which has
been before the matinee audiences at
Police Court for the past two days.
The parties in question are employees
OF the Honolulu Iron Works For
some time past the men have not
been in the habit OF extending fond
and loving alohas as they passed by.
In fact there has been a lot of bad
feeling existing between the heads
of the house OF Tingstrom and the
Fairbanks families.
The matter came 10 a partial head
IN an assault which was alleged to
have taken place the first part Of the
week At the time the couple made
their initial appearance in District
Court Tingstrom was charged with
having administered several hard
ticks upon tn features of Fairbanks,
who claimed that he had not been
apprised Of the intentions of his
assailant until he found himself be-
ing pummeled by Tingstrom. The
latter was arrested and was given a
fine and a smart reprimand by Judge
Wilcox at Thursdays session of
court.

dispensary. A warrant was sworn
to charging Fairbanks with assault
This was issued Thursday afternoon.
Yesterday the same old straw was
threshed over again. Judge Wilcox
imposed a like fine of So and costs
upon defendant Fairbanks and he too
was presented with a neatly-wordei
reprimand by the magistrate. Honors
were then declared even, and for the
present at least there is some SEM
blance Of peace in the rival camps.

from Fairbanks having borrowed
some house furnishings from Ting
strom because his had not arrived
yet from the Coast. He had used a
portiere out on the lanai to shut off
the view of Tingstrom's house which
was right next TO his. Tingstrom OBJ
| iected and he returned all the fur
nishings. not forgetting TO thank his
friend. Words followed and defies
were handed back and forth. A flu
ture meeting at the Iron Works re-
suited in some blows being struck.
The unsnarling of the tangled knot
by the court followed.

ing a common nuisance and was fined
SIS and costs.
When the case of Espinda was call

ton of the court to the fact that the
defendant was considered an all
round bad egg in police circles. The
man had been arrested for beating his
wife. His arrest followed at the in
stigation of the abused wife. How
ever. when the leige lord appeared be
hind the prisoners dock the hardened
heart of Mrs Espinda considerably
Imelted. The woman made an eloquent
plea for clemencv for her erstwhile
cruel husband. Esrinda was given a
fine of So and costs

became involved in a controversy
concerning the treatment OF horse
Thursday which afterward led to
