.DEARTH OF OLIVE BRANCHES
EsighbOrhOOd Quarreli and Family Jars
Seem to Be in Fashion.
VERY STRONG DEMAND FOR PEACE BONDS
One Justice Thinks some Peculiar
Climatic Condition is Responsible
for Prevailing and Unusual
Wave of PuEnacity.

During the last few weeks more than the
usual number Of peace warrants have been
sworn out in the justice courts. Neighbor-
hood q~uarrels and family jars galore have
found their way. into the tribunals and,
judging from the dockets, II would seem
that people generally had become suddenly
irritable and peevish, and that the habit
Of wearing a chip on the shoulder was being
observed in some quarters as a decree OF
fashion. Judge Foster tries TO account for
It on the theory that some peculiar cli-
matte condition is at the bottom Of this
wave Of pugnacity. Judge Altstadt thinks
it's because the planet Mars is nearer the
earth than usual. other Justices have
other explanations. Here are some Of the
cases now pending:
Amelia Hagelit is afraid Eva NJ. Reibold
will beat, strike, wound and commit an
assault and battery upon the person of this
complainant, and that her minor child. and
will use ~profane, vulgar and indecent lam
guage toward said complainant and her
minor child" and for that reason she is
endeavoring to have Eva put under bonds
to keep the peace.
Gaitano Damata and Frank Duckel live
in the neighborhood Of Nineteenth street
and Poppleton avenue. Damata is afraid
that Duckel will assault him and Just as
much afraid that he will tresspass on his
CDamata's) property. To prevent him from
doing either he wants him tc give bonds
to keep the peace.
Objects to Being n Target.
Martha Troga. who was shot in the mouth
by Jeanette Butler, is still scared, even
though Jeanette was fined 500 and costs.
and wants her put under bond in order to
prevent her doing any more pistol practice
with Martha as a target.
Nellie A. Poorman AYERS her husband,
Albert j., is a bad man, and that he has
frequently threatened to kill her and her
child. She wants the court to tx Poorman
so he will be afraid to carry out his threats.
Albert runs a barber shop at Twentieth and
CASTELAR, streets.
George Otis Duncan doesn't want to take
any chances with Fred Silk, consequently
Fred will have to show that he is not a
dangerous man.. so far as George Otis is
concerned, or put up a bond. George Otis
said Silk wants to go with his sister and
Silk said George Otis wants to go with his
sister. Each man objected to the other.
This caused the row. and the courts were
called upon to prevent ~bIoodshed.
John Cerny believes that A. H. Schroeder
is going to kill him and his wife. hence he
had Schroeder arrested.
Has Faith in Husband.
MAJ H5ellsT, SO his wife Msry ssid. gas
in the habit Of coming home intoxicated
and amusing himself with threatening to
kill her. She has sufficient faith in her
husband to believe hat he will carry out
his threat, so Justice Altstadt has been
asked to put Max under bond.
Peter Cordell has been annoyed by the
children OF w. T. Whelan and has an
nounced to them that he intended to stop
their alleged depredations, even IL he had
to use violence. Mr.. Whelan wants him
put under bond.
Besides these that are pending. over 100
persons have been put under peace bonds
during the last month, making 1t on the
whole a very brisk month in justice court
circles.
