CROWN POINT NEWS
Assaults His Employe.

NJ. Weiner. proprietor of the snlrt
factory on Main street was hailed be-
fore. Judge Nicholson's court yesterday
on a charge of assault and battery oy
one of his employees by the name OF
Isaac Samb. Weiner claims that Samo
got too 'nosey" in his business AFFAIRS,
in other words the approbious title OF
.buttinsky" fitted Isaac's shoulders 10
a nicely. and he was only using busl-
ness mans perogative of admonishlng
an employee in proper manner when
samb called him a name, in the Jewish
language, that sounds anything but
prettv in United States. Thereupon
Wetner proceeded to knock of few
corners of Isaac's nasal impedimentia,
which afterward cost Weiner about -
a knock, his fine and cost amounting
10 $3.50 This appeased SANDS ma
turally good disposition, and he was
around Ave minutes afterward trying 70
collect witness fees. Samb is all
"swened" up today. and he has figured
out If q few blows on his nose are
worth $3.50, a corresponding amount
all over his body, by the rules of Am
erican Justice, would make his person
worth a million, and as he is probably
out of position with the Weiner con-
Germ. he has practically decided to be-
come human punching bag, althfugh
according to Isaac, it is had way OF
making the money.
