In the Police Court yesterday morning
Judge Whallon fined Frank Battle 81 and
costs for being drunk and dismissed the
charges Of assault and battery and vio-
lation of Section 3 of the Nicholson law
against Fred Hennencamp and his son o.
car. Hennencamp and his son were ar
rested on a warrant sworn out by Mrs.
Frank Battle, charging that her husband
assaulted in the saloon and was sold
drinks Sunday. Battle was arrested at
the time for being intoxicated. 1t was
shown that Battle became noisy after hav-
ing a few drinks and was ordered to be
quiet. He refused to do so and was elected
from the building, striking his eye
railing as he passed through the door. The
court held that Section 8 of the Nicholson
law had not been violated as the men were
in back room not connected with the sa-
loon at the time the drinks were sold.
