is not laundering for work at any time.
The Porto Rican, however, had a meth

too insistent in the Jap saloon and the
bartender ordered him out. Antonio

Row in DaTktown.

There was a row in darktown on
Monday and it all came of two guests
of John Nash and wife starting a fight.
The host and hostess did not enjoy the
fighting and undertook to throw the
colored gentlemen into the street One
of the negroes landed on his head and
about this time the police showed up.
They arrested the Washes. Mrs Nash
told the court yesterday that the police
handled her husband roughly and one
had struck him on the head She con-
fessed, however, that she did not mean
to intimate that the blow on John IS
head had hurt him. The court released
Mrs. Nash and fined John S. and costs.
Nash gets into the police court several

family troubles. His chief stunt Is to
beat his wife.
