WEST END FAMIL Y
FUED IS STILL ON
McAtees and Doughertys Having All
Sorts OF Trouble And Peace
Dove Flies Away in Fright

Resorts to the courts OF law does
not seem to bring the dove OF peace
any nearer to the warning McAtees
and Daugherty families who have
been having a prolonged scrap at
their place of habitatton in the
West End beyond the old dinkey
depot. Judging from the further
developments in the feud, the gem
tie bird seems to be flying away as
swiftly as possible in order to pre-
serve its pin feathers.
Tuesday morning Lucinda Wat
son appeared in Magistrate Gordon s
court and swore out warrant
against selby McAtee, charging him
with assaulting her the evening be-
fore. AS soon as the city author
tiles are through with selby he
will be turned over to the magis-
trate.
Monday afternoon late. Magis-
trate Gordon tried Earl Daugherty
on the charge of shooting at Maud
McAtee with a revolver several days
ago. Testimony tended to show
that Earl shot into the ground and
in the air, but the magistrate con-
cluded that was disorderly conduct
and placed him under peace bond
of 500 to keep the peace for six
months. He furnished the bond and
was released from custody.
In police court this morning Bruce
McAtee, Selby McAtee and Winnie
Nye were given hearings on charges
of assembling for Immoral purposes.
Policemen made a raid Of the Nc
Atee-Daugherty camp Monday ana
arrested them. Winnie Nye was
found guilty and fined $40 and costs
and sentenced to Jail for thirty days.
Bruce was discharged as not guilty
and Selby, who pleaded not guilty,
was held over until the next session
of police court because necessary
witnesses were not present.
Application was made by Mrs.
Nancy McAtee for other warrants
in the case in Magistrate Gordon's
and in Magistrate David's courts but
it was refused.
