LANGAN FAMILY HAS
A REAL NICE TIME
Two Branches of 1t Tell of Battle, but
Court Gives
Ii Up.

It was the Irish against the Ger
mans yesterday in the police court,
where the great war in the Langan
family was rehearsed for the benefit of
room full of spectators. After Civ
ing both sides an impartial hearing,
Judge Hine declared it a draw.
Seven defendants answered to their
names when the case was called. This
big haul was the result of two war
rants sworn out on Friday. The first
was issued on Richard Langans COM
plant against Mrs. Rosa Langan, wife
of his brother Joseph, and her four
children by a former marriage, An
drew, Fritz, Rosa and Mary Hurias. All
were charged with having assaulted
and beaten the complainant. The Sec
ond warrant brought Richard himself
into court to answer the charge Of
Mrs. Rose, that he had attacked her
and her brood of Well-grown sons and
daughters.
Judge Hine allowed the woman to
tell her story first. Richard, she said
had struck her daughter, and when the
mother flew to the rescue he had cried,
you Dutch thing, what can you do?"
and proceeded to strike her. The boys
had simply interfered to protect their
feminine kin. This story was confirmed
by Andrew Hurias, who boosted on the
stand that he was handy with his fists,
and by Rosa and Mary Hurias, two
comely maidens with fiercy tempers.
Then came brother-in-laW Richards
version of the fight His testimony
was convincing, but still more his face,
for that looked as If he had gone
through a threshing machine at full
blast.
Brother Joe and I is partners in the
sand business" Richard Langan testi-
fed. HE lost his leg in a railroad ac-
cident and 1 have to do all the heavy
work. Friday afternoon I took him
home as usual. When I was carrying
him from the buggy to the house, the
Oldest Hurias girl says, says she, Let
him alone, you Irish pup, I'll bring him
in The rest all happened quicker than
I can tell it, judge. The women folks
mostly held me while the oldest boy
hit me in de face wild a club. 1 didn't
know much for quite a while"
ut was just as Dick told, your
honor said Joe Langan, when the one
legged man gave his testimony "The
woman went at him as soon as he
reached the gate. He had me in his
arms and couldn't do nothing till they
pulled him down. My wife had him
by the legs and the two girls held his
arms and scratched him. The boys just
punched his face. What they said on
the stand was all lies"
Both complaints dismissed" said
the judge, "but don't let me catch any
of you here again or I will teach you
to keep out of family rows in the fu-
ture."

OF overa square mile. and several

BowEN's PROMPT ACTION.


Minister Bowen's prompt action in

release OF the German and British
subjects arrested the Caracas yes
terday is in accordance with the plan
agreed on between the German and
British ambassadors and Secretary
Hay, when the former called at the
State department fully three weeks
ago, and, in anticipation OF the pres
ent ugly situation in Venezuela, re-
quested that the United States min
lister at Caracas be permitted to pro-
tect the lives and property OF all
British and German citizens in Vene-
zuela.
1t is understood President Castro
was notified of this action. 1t was
pointed out by an European diplo'
mat of high rank to-day that, in
forcing Minister Bowen to demand the
release Of arrested subjects, President
Castro is acting directly contrary tc
the desire Of the Washingtongover
ment not to become involved in thu
international dispute. Both Ger
mary and Great Britain, it was sale

limited States and are determined

The communication says that indig-
nation in Vene zuela is at its highest

arrested the resident subjects OF both
hostile countries and has seized the
railways and other undertakings be-
longing to them. At the same time,
adds the communication, President
Castro has appealed to the Venezu-

decreed general amnesty for all
political offenses and has ordered the
restitution OF the contiscated prop

ARRESTS WITHOUT PRECEDENT.
Washington, Dec. 1O,-lt was said
at the British and Gerhnanembassies
to-day that the action OF President
| c lstro in ordering the arrest OF all
subjects of the British and German
governments in Caracas was without
precedent in the history OF civilized
countries supposedly at peace with
each other and that such action
would be regarded as sufficient
ground for q declaration of war
Members OF the diplomatic corps
here, indeed, regard it as being sucf
a declaration in itself. Many years
ago, when President Soras wasat thu

in a dispute with the South Amer

Trustee Sawyer stated that no printed notices had been made simply to ecOnomize, but the fact that he had overlooked one or two deal CTS was an oversight. The x. (.
