Judge Burpee Insisted on Case
 Going On.

The Walking Delegate Was Fined $75
 and Costs and $1O and Costs-An Ap-
 peal was Taken Under a Bond of
 $2OO-Neighbor's Quarrel Case Ad-
 journed to Friday Morning.
 Judge Burpee held city court to-day, and Joseph E. Sandiford, the business agent of the Central Labor union, was given cause to remember it for some time. Sandiford was charged with in inhalation and assaulting Arthur Ga bana. It was understood yesterday afternoon between Sandiford's counsel, Senator Kennedy, and the prosecuting attorney that this case should go over but Judge Burpee this morning would not listen to such a proposal even re fusing to adjourn the case to 2 o'clock this afternoon.
 The scene of the alleged disturbance was at a new house on Ward street. A. F. toilette, the builder, employed Cabana by contract to shingle the house. toilette stated that Sandiford threatened the building with the ban of the union unless it was declared a union job and union men only were employed on it. toilette said if Sandi- ford waited day all would be right, but he was impatient and demanded that all non-union help be laid off inn mediately, for by tomorrow the job would be completed.
 When Sandiford was asked if he had statement to make, he said he would be pleased and obliged if the case was adjourned, because he had neither his witnesses nor his attorney present. Judge Burpee asked him if he had any evidence to put on, and if he had to proceed. Sandiford then took the stand and said that he had been ad- vised by friends of toilette to see him about making the building of the house a union job. toilette refused to do so or even pay union pay. toilette called him names and defied the union. At length Sandiford induced toilette to meet him, and at this meeting .Io1- lette decided to make his job a union one the next morning. But he refused to carry out his agreement at first. put finally let Cabana go. Said Cabana then got back at Sandiford, charging him with being the means of costing him his job, that he had two children i'll at home and one of them almost dying. and he was hard up and dis tressed. Sandiford told him he knew nothing about his discharge; his name was not mentioned in the discussion. Cabana, he said could not join the Carpenters union because he is not a carpenter in the first place, though Ga bana said he was, and i'll the second place, there was q fine of S10 standing against him in the Lathers' union and he cannot join any union until that is paid Now Cabana said he was a latIl- CT. a carpenter and shingler, and that when he accused Sandiford of being the cause of losing his job Sandiford struck him. Sandiford said he struck in self-defense; that he was goaded into doing so by Cabana, For assault he was fined $10 and costs, and before sentence was passed on the charge of intimidation Prosecutor Durant re- minded the court that this was Sandi- lords second offense in that respect and that he was fined S75 and costs the last time in the district court. Judge Burpee thereupon applied the same fine. An appeal was taken and the bond fixed at S200
 A complaint against Oscar Tentner for breach of the peace was continued to Friday morning. This appears to be q neighborhood row The witness es fer the state are Kate Wooding and Maria Sundstrum. 42- Dikeman street
 It is highly probable that an outside judge will be necessary to try Sandi- lords appeal in the district court. His counsel in the first case Attorney Peas ley is now deputy judge of that court and the judge who tried him, Judge Bradstreet is prosecuting attorney, and as Sandiford was once client of Judge Cowell he considers himself disqualified from hearing it.
