Chas. Humbert's escutcheon hangs
| frequently on the walls of the police
station and he is well known to the
| sporting fraternity at large He rooms
at 213 East Fourth and Mrs. Flansburg
claimed that her peace was destroyed
/ by the cursing of Humbert who occu-
pies the next room to her apartments.
On her complaint Humbert was arrest
ed Saturday night A woman who was
heavily drunk, was an additional source
of Mrs. F1ansburgS complaint. Mrs.
Flansburg was asked to take the stand
| in her own behalf by Judge Slater but
she was unable to confine her remarks
to the facts of the case in hand and at
tempted to convince the court that a
deep dark plot had been laid to ruin
her character and that Humbert and
several of his witnesses whom she des-
ignated as states prison men" were
the perpetrators of that outrageous
plan. She became so enthused over this
feature that she forgot all of the mean
ing of time and place, rambling on re-
gardless of the courts injunctionS to
remain quiet. Finally Judge Slater or
dered her to take her seat. Judge Reed
appearing for the defendant then said
in audible tones as the woman left the
witness chair, THE woman is crazy,
she has no business bullyragging this
court"
You can't prove it," screamed the en-
ragged Mrs. F1ansburg. 81 will have you
arrested for insulting me in public. My
father was an attorney but he wasn't
such a one as you.
My mother was a woman but she
wasn't such a fool as you" came back
the retort from Judge Reed.
Judge Slater then called for quiet
and asked that woman to be removed
from the court room. She was taken
away for an instant but soon reappear-
ed at another door. Sergeant McElroy
was compelled to block the doorway
excited woman from rushing in and
taking part again.
Several witnesses whom Humbert had
testified that about as much excitement
had been aroused through the instru
mentality of the plaintiff as the defend
ant.
Judge Slater dismissed the defendant.
Mrs. FlanS burg is a new figure in
local reform circles and has been en-
gagged in street work largely. She has
a small boy with long curls who pos
sesses a sweet voice and together with
him she entertains the crowds upon the
street.
]. H. Barge who lives at 1914 North
Monroe street has children that don't
dare do anything naughty. at least that
is the testimony he offered in court
Monday afternoon when he appeared
against the Kimes children who live
next door, charging them with disturb
ing the peace. The Barge baby was
brought into prominence through the
fact that the Kimes children were ac-
cused of throwing mud at both the baby
and the baby carriage. Grace, Eva,
Marion and Morris Kimes came up for
the responsibility of the mud Throwing.
The oldest of the Kimes children.
Grace, was not implicated in much of
the trouble and no attempt was made
to hold her. The other three of the
representatives of the Kimes family
We're let go since the judge considered
them too young to be held responsible.
Joe Mccall may consider himself lucky
in one respect, for having what his moth
