Last Friday afternoon he was near his fathers fruit store when he saw Leo pold Meier going by sitting serenely in his wagon. Musante, just to see whether his arm was out of practice picked up a muskmelon, at least Leo pold thought it was such, and let 1t fly. It landed squarely on his head and the splash was most juicy. The shot was rather expensive though for Adolph was in city court this morn ing on the charge of breach of the peace.
 While relating the incident Meier caused much amusement. Young Mu- sante said it was not a muskmelon that he threw but a large sized peach. which. had seen better days The peach was so decayed that when it landed Meier thought that someone had thrown a bucket of some kind of liquid on his head. The accused was fined ,$2 and costs.
 Frank Carney for drunkenness was given $5 and costs.
