FINED FOR ASSAULT.
Two Charges Against James Green
Settled in Court.

Because he caught a policeman by the
arm while he was under arrest James
Green, young man who resides in George
town, was fined $40 in the Police Court this
morning by Judge Kimball who decided
that he had committed an assault on the
officer. Green was also adjudged to be
guilty of an additional charge Of assault
and battery on Joseph Luxen. for which he
was sentenced to pay So charge OF dis
orderly conduct against him was also sus-
tanned and he was taxed another $40, max
ing $50 IN all. Green at the time of his ar
rest left s25 as security for his appearance
in court this morning, but he refused to
pay the other s. and his collateral was re-
turned to him. Imprisonment for three
months was named as the equivalent to the
fines.
Policeman J. w. Haney and Luxen, who
accused Green of assaulting them, appear
ed in court without any visible marks OF
violence. Green, however, had an ugly
wound on his head which was sustained at
the time he was placed under arrest. From
two witnesses Judge Kimban learned that
the defendant, who was under the influence
of liquor in Georgetown last night, resented
the kindly offices of Luxen. who wanted TO
take him home turned on his friend ana
struck him several times. According 70

kets. 1t IL also required that those af-
fected and those not affected, but of the
same herd, be dipped In disinfectant pre-

The shippers are very anxious that they
be given an opportunity this fall to ship
many cattle which are not affected yet.
