Fined for Assault.

An event which occurred Tues
day on Elizabeth street, and which
has caused considerable comment,
was al assault by Deputy United
States Marshal w. B. Bates upon
Judge E. c. Forto, in which the
latter was quite severely hurt
Complaint was made against Bates,
who was arrested and later tried
in the court of Justice of the Peace
Gavito. Bates pleaded guilty and
was fined $500 and costs.
Judge Forto has been quite i'll
since, as he was seriously hurt.
He recently stood an operation of
a serious nature on the jaw, and
the wound, which was not yet
entirely healed, was bruised badly
in the assault. He is now recover
ing, however.

Put Up Boxes at Gates.

THE HERALD would suggest that
it would be good idea for its city
patrons to put up boxes at their
gates for the carriers to put THE
HERALD in. Such a plan would
obviate the necessity of searching
every evening for the paper, which
falls sometimes on the doorstep
and sometimes in the yard, and
sometimes may be carried away al
together by the wind. A box at
the gate would make it much more
convenient for both carriers and
patrons.
