CELT AND TEUTON CLASH:
OLD STORY MODERNIZED

1t was a mOderniZed version of the
old story of the strife of the Celt and
Teuton originating away back among
the cave men that was developed in
Magistrate Johnson's court last even
ing. The modern instance began to
incubate in u certain neighborhood
on Twenty-fourth street about three
years ago when, in the shuttle of
tenants, various uncongenial ele-
ments were brought together.
According to the testimony heard
in court last evening, before the Ger
man family who were moving in had
got their furniture inside the house,
the little boy of the family had thrashed
the Irish little boy who lived next
door and from that time on relations
were badly strained. Things came to
such a point that compliments in
volving the respective nationalties of
the families were passed back and
forth across the open lot between the
two houses as regularly as one neigh
Dor caught sight of the other, and
both fell into the habit of keeping
the shutters shut and the blinds drawn
on the sides of the houses that

up the trouble with all the ardor of
youth. Yesterday when the final
clash that led to the court scene be-
gan, the youngest Irishman, aged 2
years, was playing in the yard Of
neighbor who was running lawn
mower. Suddenly the youngster
started across the lots at a lively
gait. Hey, where are you going?"
the neighbor asked. ITO help lick
the Dutch" the young man replied,
and he did.
All this and more was brought out
in the evidence which came in re-
spouse to Attorney Cramer's ques-
tions as spontaneously as the oil from
Texas gusher. At the conclusion
the magistrate fined Mrs. Belle Fianni-
gan 81 and costs for a breach of the
peace, the complainant being Mrs.
John Mayer.
Another case of somewhat similar
nature was adjudicated by Magistrate
johnson earlier in the day, the par
ties being the families of Charles
Moran and w. b. Garrison, who live
adjoining on Twenty-seventh street.
The head of the family first named
was arrested on complaint of Mr..
Garrison and fined So for breach of
the peace. Then the case was re-
versed and Mrs. Garrison was made
on the same charge and an
equal fine was imposed upon her.
