pealed from a Fine of $5.
 The third disturbance arising out of the labor conditions in this city was tried before Judge Burpee in the city court this forenoon. Nelson Flana- gan, Jr, was charged with breach of the peace under the statute which pro- vides against an act or word that may cause contention and strife." Flana- gan was defended by Attorney Meigs. The state was assisted by Represents tive Guilfoile.
 The scene of the alleged breach Of the peace was the moulding shop at the Matthews S Willard plant, and the story of the complainant and his wit neSses, all of them moulders on strike, is substantially this: Tuesday noon Mccormack had all interview with Frank Murray, who runs casting shop on Maple street. Murray told Mccormack he could employ Frank Boyle, who was working at the scene of the strike mentioned, and that it would be better for Boyle to work where there was no trouble Accord ingly Mccormack went to the mould ing shop and called out Eoyle. Flan- agan, seeing complainant outside the window, told Boyle not to mind him, and then defendant started a trade of abuseNagainst Mccormack, ending with the usual insulting and offensive epithet which appears to be ever on the lips or some men and is ever ready to be hurled at some one on the slight est cause. In this instance, however. this name was given terrible force by the addition of still stronger epithet. Mccormack and his witness, William Flanagan, q brother of the defendant, Harvey Jordan and Theodore Wells, went away determined to have Flana- gan arrested for breach of the peace.
 Flanagan, the accused, in his defense said he was q union man, but did not strike. He said he was the boss's son and that he had favored some of the witnesses who appeared against him. He said that Mccormack called him and the rest of the workmen .sscabs'' and threatened to .'lick' one of them named Michael Vickers, who was ad- y1sed to take his gun along with him when he left work that evening"
 Representative Guilfoile made Elan agan admit that he had trouble before with some of the witnesses who ap- peared for the state.
 Frank korngieble, who lives on Oak street, was one of the strongest wit nesses for the defendant.
 In summing up Representative Guil- foiie said that this case appealed to every man who had the slightest sense of decency in him. If Flanagan, the accused, called his brother out of his name, as had been testified to, he ought to get the severest penalty in the provisi0n Of the court He re- marked on the sameness of the story told by the defense, all of the wit nesses using the same word when they referred to a stone which they said the aceuSedS brother held in his hand, saying that it was about the size of an egg" The witnesses for the defense, he said, were apparently un- der the influence of the accused; it was to their benefit to testify for him, he being the son of the boss of the mould ing department where the trouble took place. Flanagan was fined $5 and costs. Notice of an appeal was given.
 John Griffin, good looking bad boy, charged with truancy, saved himself from the reform school by promising to attend school better than he has been doing. He is pupil of Miss Corr'S rom in the Merriman school.
 Morris Olanoff, Morris Karnaofosky and James Albert, charged with breach of the peace, settled their cases out of ocurt.

 Patrick Coleman of Waterville was fined 50 and costs for intoxication.
