Judge Peasley Punished the Guilty
 Ones This Morning.
 Chickens, stones, bad temper and Officer Allen furnished the business for Judge Peasley in the city court this morning. Mary Lane of Scovill street was charged with breach of the peace. Officer Allen said that yesterday after September 23 and 24. John J. Walsh of street his attention was arrested by sounds of braWl. He proceeded in their direction and found the accused arraigning another woman in terrible language. A crowd ofe about 200 had gathered to hear the scrap. The offi- cer testified that he warned the accus- ed to desist whereHpon she turned up- on him and gave him laying out. Despite this unkind return for his sage advice, the officer went away but soon returned, the noise had become so great and the crowd so large. When he volunteered advice this time the woman defied him to arrest her. Of course he could not stand this affrOnt to his dignity and he took her into scus- tody While the officer was giving his testimony the accused was swaying from side to side in her seat with a look on her face which said as plain ly as looks can speak: Did you ever hear the like; wouldn't that jar youY' Mrs Lane said the officer misunder- stood her. She was the abused wo-
 man and that what she said as thanks the ofAcer took for abuse and defiance. She said she was thirteen years liv- ing on Scovill street and never before
 was in court She was fined S1O and costs. This was the case of bad tenn per.
 Chickens furnished the next trouble. Enas Nuncio is a neighbor of 9 family named Horigan living on New street. Enas has ssbanty'' chicken. Occasion ally strays into the Horigan's prem ises. A few days ago Mrs Horigan l chased the chicken out of her barn with pebbles. Monday Enas did not
 go to work There was no work for her so she had plenty of time on her hands Mrs Horigan's little boy Mi l chael, about seven or eight years old,
 was playing horse on the street with l little girl opposite his own place.
 Two or three stones were thrown and
 Mrs Horigan said she saw Enas throw | the last one which hit the little boy lover the left eye making bad wound. Enas admitted throwing the stone but
 said one was thrown first at her. Some one killed three of her sbanty' chick ems by poison, and while she did not say that it was done by the Horigan's 1 it was plain that she thought so. The court did not sympathize with the com ! pIainant in her case and hinted that
 she was partly accountable for the diff. l ficulty, and on that account he con ! tinued the case for thirty days.
 ] Alexandra Phillipone was charged with breach of the peace Officer Al ] Len testified to there being disturb | ance on Scovill street. One man was l knocked down and when he got to the I scene he found the accused bending l over the fallen man. The accused said ! he was merely helping the man up l The man who had knocked him dowr ran away when he saw the officer I coming but witness ran to help him l ssI can fight nobada," he said, "my I hand a hurt,'' displaying his right ! hand which was mafmed and torn

 tongue and when he finished he wa. l fined $10 and costs.
