SAID THINGS
The Story of a Man Who Hit a

claimed Judge Wilcox's attention yester
day Were assault and battery affairs. His
Honor took due note of this fact and in
recognition thereof imposed several very
stiff fines.
Mike O'Brien, Familiarity known among |
horsemen as Red Pike" was charged |
with assault and battery on Chris. Holt. |
The case was a sequel to the recent
brawl in the Club Stables.
Defendant pleaded guilty and was fined
s25 and costs. To him the Judge:
II have seventeen cases OF assault and
battery before me, and this thing of vio-
lence must come to end. The Club
Stables is getting famous for Scraps
I suppose because of the class of men
who eongregate there. Why, it is almost
impossible to pass along Fort street
without witnessing rough and tumble
encounter. l think that the best way
would be to wipe the uth-of-June races
out of existence. People do each other
up financially first and then physically.
Mr.. Holt is not blameless in the matter,
and was altogether too willing to respond
to the invitation to fight"
J.. H. West, charged with assault and
battery on j. Selman. was reprimanded
and discharged. He pleaded guilty. but
urged extenuaung circumstances.
I Defendant said that his sister was
walking along Beretania street, when
Selman passed her. He turned and COM
menced to follow her She walked faster
with the idea Of getting away from him,
but he also quickened his pace. Then she
walked slowly and complainant did like
wise. Selman kept staring at her, and,
| feeling frightened at the mans strange
| behavior, she stopped when near the
Methodist Church to allow the fellow to
pass her. Finding that Selman checked
| his pace also, she FASTENED over to her
brothers house and explained matters to
him.
! West said that he saw Selman peeping
/ through the bushes into the yard, and
asked him if he were looking for anyone.
! The answer he received was that il was
none of his business. Thereupon defend
znt sInote the curious one in the face and
Selman departed, with the threat that ne
would make West pay for his punch
Seln1an was asked TO give his version of
the affair, which WIS follows:

waiting for her when Mr.. West came up
and hit me in the eye, saying, You dog!
I'll teach you TO insult lady and l told
him he would have to pay for aSsaulting

Mr.. West wasn't aware that you were a
Christian. You look just like an ordinary
mortal and they do say that most ordi-
nary mortals have a weakness for the
opposite sex. I don't know whether
: Christians are exempt from that kind of
. thing. l rather think that defendant had
excellent reasons for supposing that you
Were in the wrong, and it Is certainly in
cumbent upon him TO protect the women
members IF his family from insult. l
therefore simply reprimand him. IN fu-
ture you must be more careful how you
finger around corners"
