THE CITY COURT
Rssmusssu and Cohen Troubles
 Aired in Court To-day.

CD N5Nt took place between NIB Aasnussen and his neighbors Joseph Cohen, his wife and son Moses on Iewn Plot last Saturday and Judge Eur9ee in disposing of the matter In en9 city court to-day said 1t was not cTly unseemly and barbarous but evidently the participants thought themselves on the frontier, It all
 began with the dogs owned by the respective parties. Baby Cohen, four years old, was going down the road to meet his father with his big dog when Rasmussens dog butted in, The baby yelled, the dogs parked and in minute Rasmussen, his housekeper Mrs Mary Alberti, Cohen
 his wife and his son Moses were in a mixup in the road. Mrs Cohen
 was knocked on the head and she
 was evidently very feeble in court as a consequence. But Mrs Alberti said the woman just threw herself down on the road and her. head knocked against a stone, Another thing, she said was that if Mrs Cohen was struck by stone 1t was she, Mrs Alberti who hit her, but she was so excited she could not say
 But she had picked up stone to give to Rasmussen to defend himself
 with when Mrs Cohen put her face up to hers and, well that was all she could recall. Rasmussen got one in the side of the head so that 1t re-
 quired the attention of Dr A, A, Crane, but Moses Cohen said 1t was Mrs Alberti who inflicted this wound. She was throwing the stone at his mother when Rasmussen put his
 head in the way and he got 1t. At torney Rogers, counsel for Rasmus- sen tried to show that Mrs Cohen's evident weakness in court was just slammed. The court said both par ties were responsible and he imposed
 fine of $10 and costs on each. An appeal was taken.
