entered the house of Mrs Dozzi in an
intoxicated condition and when she
demonstrated with him for making
noise and asked him to leave the house
he drew revolver and threatened her
life. When she went to call help
from the neighbors he went into the
bedroom occupied by two children
aged three and sight years and threat
ened to kill them unless they ceased
their cries Antoine Rosa came and
took the revolver away from him.

irresponsible people carrying concealed
weapons Judge Hedden fined Donati

An Armed Neutrality

Last Monday evening John p Ritt-
mayer called at the home of his di-
vorced wife for the purpose Of seeing
his children and was admitted by his
little boy. The front of the house
was dark and as the little boy stated
that his mamma was busy in the
kitchen writing letter, Mr.. Ritt-
mayer played with the children few
minutes and started to leave the house
when Mrs. Rittmsyer approached and
demanded to know by what right he
entered her house with key. Mr..
Rittmayer denied this insinuatisn
declaring that the little boy had
opened the door for him.
An alteration followed in which
each made remarks that were any
thing but kind about the other Ritt-
mayer left the house and started down
the street but WAS followed by the
woman who took two shots at him
ABOUT the time he reached Eighth
street, Both shots went wild and
Rittmayer proceeded on his way.
When brought up in police court.
Judge Witten fined Rittmaysr $25. 90
for creating disturbance and the
woman %. 90 for shooting off firearms
within the city limits. Both fines and
the costs were promptly paid.
MIR. Rittmayer says the report that
he was enraged at the sight of pho
e
the slightest foundation whatever as
he could not have seen a picture in
the dark and besides he did not care
how many pictures the woman might
have had in the room. The whole
affair is unfortunate and is to be re
gretted, especially for the sake Of the
children.
