Landlord and Tenant Settle Differ
 ences in Court.
 Judge Peasley held city court this morning. Mrs Jennie Vanall, 50 Hop- kins street, charged her landlord, David Letski, with breach of the peace. Letski was defended by attorney J. J. O'Neill. Rent was the cause of the trouble Mrs Vanall said she owed no rent. while Letski claimed she owed SIS for one month and a half, cash she borrowed and goods he sold her. Com- plainant said accused struck her; ac- cused said he did not think of such a thing. Prosecutor Durant said he had nothing to say, yet he said the accused was 3only a liar, and one of the few bad Jews in the city. He ought to be fined and fined we'll" Five dollars and costs was imposed. He took an appeal. John Reed pleaded not guilty to non- support When Reed was last ill court for this same offense, he was ordered and he promised to pay his wife $5 a week. He did not do so and his com plaint and excuse was lack of business and dearth of money. He was sen- fenced to sixty days i'll jail or provide a bond of S200 to pay his wife $5 8 week for six months.
 A small boy named John Savage, charged with truancy, was let go on his promise to attend school.

This liquor dealer is Timothy Brennan of the Abrigador, who has never had the aspersion of violating the laws thrown at him and appears determined to prove that Me Clair's detectives made q mistake if nothing more serious when they enter- ed information against him for selling liquor during illegal hours.
