JUDGE BURPEEs HOUR.
Man in Court as Witness Was Ordered

Man in Court as Witness Was Ordered
Under Arrest for Contempt.
Judge Burpee has determined upon
summary method OF teaching court
etiquette. The first instance was
given this morning. George Yankal-
unais and John Fillindrawbridge,
which in the Language of the country
means Phalen were charged with breach
of the peace. They plead not guilty.
Mrs Annie PheIan, wife Of George,
testified that the trouble began Friday.
They live at AS West Porter street
She said that on that evening her hus-
band kicked her knocked her down
and otherwise ill treated her. He H.
Enally wound up by taking his clothes
and all the money there was i'm the
house, $40 in gold. Saturday afternoon
he called with the. other accused and
demandedsto be let in. Mrs Phelan's
father told her to refer her husband
to him when he called. 1t was 2
O'Clock when he called but that did not
seem to be Mrs Phelan's fathers fight
ing hour, SO he would have nothing to
do with his son-in-law then. He adj
vised him to call around ait 5 o'clock,
but that was not the son-in-law's
fighting hour. Thereupon rather than
tolerate any delay the soninlaw broke
in the door, assisted by his friend and
they pommeled Mrs Phelan.
While Mr. Phelan was on the stand
Yankalunais and her husband seemed
to be enjoying themselves. They were
laughing and tickling each other and
having good time. But when Yank.
alunais took the stand he quickly
changed his tune. He would not be-
gin at the beginning and paid no at
tention to Judge Burpees advice.
Thrice he was warned but it was no
use and he was placed In the pen at
the judges orders.
Phelan was more coherent. He de-
MED assaulting his wife Saturday but
admitted doing it Friday. He was fined
$40 and costs and his friend $15 and
| costs.
