Charles Peterson was charged with
assault and battery on Captain Neil
sen. The case came up in the police
court yesterday morning
! The veteran lookout and the light
house keeper were both in court and
! if looks could annihilate, they certainly
would have withered each other with
the chances of fierce hatred which thew
let fly at every opportunity. 1t ap-
peared at first that there might be a
fight in the very presence of Justice

lingworth seemed to think so. for he
took position between the two. so

miss any of the fun
Peterson pleaded guilty to banging
the other man in the face with a club
but argued extenuating circumstances.
The other fellow had called him some
bad names he said. Judge Wilcox

lily spelling the beauty of the light
house keeper ought to be worth fifty
dollars to the Diamond Head lookout |
and forthwith imposed that amount a 3 |

The fine was promptly paid and then |
charlie found that it would be neees-

sum of 800 to keep the peace for a /
certain period
