when Bracket received a violent

surface car, when he noticed the man
sitting next but one to him on the

the man was Walsh

Academy Fairfield winning II to g. The
High school team has been under the
coaching of Eli Gregory, graduate of
the school, and has developed into fast

the team is a mighty factor in the win

The trial of Freeman Clukey for all
legged assault upon William Mann, of
the Nickel theater last Friday night,
was held Saturday in the superior
court room. There We're a large NUM-
Der Of spectators present as the case
attracted an unusual amount of inter-
est.
According to the testimony present.
ed it appears that on Friday night
Clukey, who had been recently dis
charged from the employ of the Nickel,
came to the theater after the closing
hours, in company with others to get
one of the machines which belongs 60
one of the party that was with him.
He was in an intoxicated condition
and from the testimony of some of the
witnesses, was bent on mischief when
he started for the theater. Mr.. Mann
knew that he was coming in and at
tempted to lock the door from the in
side, but before he could do this
Clukey was inside, as were the others
with him. Clukey Immediately attack
ed Mr.. Mann and tripped him to the
floor. Mr.. Mann claimed that Clukey
struck him several times. This Clukey
denied. Finally they were separated

Clukey Settles For Starting
Fight at the Nickel Theatre.

Mr. Mann then went upon the plat
form, which is elevated in the north
window. Clukey, not content with
what he had done, made another rush
at Mann and swung at him. The lat
ter lodged the blow and Clukey struck
the large plate glass window such a
blow that a large portion of it fell out.
During the mixup the street window
was also broken.
The invading party left that vicinity
but Clukey was found a short time
afterward in the restaurant of j. Fields
Murray and arrested. His right hand
was badly injured, being cut by the
glass. He was taken to the City build
ing and locked up. A warrant was
also sworn out against Mann in the
morning as there were SO many con-
fiicting stories that it was thought best
to have all parties and witnesses in
the court. A large number Of Witness
es were examined and the trial oc-
cupied nearly two hours.
After the evidence had been sumed
up Judge Shaw discharged Mann and
fined Clukey S. and costs, amounting
