Dikeman Street Neighbors in Court
 This Morning.
 It was an unusually quiet Fourth of July in police circles, not even q shoot ing affray having taken place. A few men got intoxicated and were released from the station house when sobered up; but one James Gaffney was so drunk he had to face the music of the city court this morning, and Judge Bur- pee fined him $5 and costs.
 VincenZo Intindoli, or James Leo, as he called himself, was charged by Mary Ryan, a girl of about It years, with breach of the peace. Mary said that she has known Leo for some time, but not to speak to. Of late she goes to St Patricks church every evening, and sometimes Leo halls her. Tester day he went step farther by insisting on her walking with him. This took place on South Riverside street. Leo said he merely hailed the girl as ac- quafntances hail each other. Judge Burpee was of different opinion and stated that girls ought to feel able to walk out evenings without fear of in- terruption or annoyance from men. par ticularly girls of complainant's age. Accused was fined S1 and costs.
 James Bowling was charged with as- saulting Frank w Gallagher on the Wolcott road Wednesday evening. Bowling and Mccarthy and some oth- CTS. members of the Merrimac club, were discussing things in general, when | Gallagher said that unless that stopped he would put holes through them. Bowling took this to mean the employ ment of revolver to settle the point in debate and he immediately struck Crh in fNa 1nf case was continued from yesterday morning. as Gallagher failed to present himself in court. Representative Gull foile. counsel for Bowling, showed the court the matter was all mistake and no malice in it. Sentence was sus- pended in Dowling's case and Galla- l gher was called upon to explain his failure to appear in court yesterday. He gave it, laying the fault on the dis tance of his home from the city, he liv- l ing on the Wolcott road. He was also let go.
 Oscar Tentner of Dikeman stree; was defended by Attorney Root in q case of breach of the peace. The com. plainants were Mrs Marie Sundstrom and Mrs Kate Wooding. This was q case of Yankee versus Dutch. The women above named said Tentner was '.just awful' and that few days age he threatened to route every Yankee | off the street. To carry out this fel | purpose he threw q small stone at com 1 plainants, which Mrs Wooding pro 1 duced in court. Tentner said the Yan kees were trying to rid the street oi him and on every possible occasion they called after him such names as ''Sauersraut." Hamburger Cheese" and 'Dutch'' Tentner said he did no1 mind these names when they were l fired at him in fun. but under the cir cun1stances he could not stand them The court thought all were equally guilty and all should have been arrest ed. He therefore would have to i'm pose nominal fine on Tentner and S1 and costs was taxed up against him. The only cases before the court yes terday were q few for violating the city ordinance relating to exploding 1 firearms and firecrackers within tn. | city limits.
