THE CITY COURT
Woman Committed 10 Brookside
 10 Work Out S2s Fine.

In the city court to-day Mrs Bridget Hanley was charged with being the keeper of a disorderly house near the railroad arch in Waterville.
 The evidence in support of the charge was given by Supernumer- ary Nolan, Sergeant Bergin and a neighbor named Albert Delay The latter said the place is all right while the woman's husband is about but while he is away 1t is quite the contrary. Hanlon spoke for his wife and became so excited that he addressed the court as my lord. :" He seemed very anxious about his two children aged and years and contended that his wife is all right if her friends would stay away from her, She was committed to Brookside to work out fine of $25 and costs.
 Michael McNamara of Middlebury came to town yesterday and got drunk. Then he sported a revol- yer and was arrested. He settled for $15.
