ALTHOUGH COMPLAINANT.

Harry Cohn, the Harrison grocer
saloon-keeper, who last week dispos-
sessed Mrs. Ross Graham, of 205 South
Fourth street, for non-payment of a
! half-month's rent, today appeared in
the Harrison Police Court as complain
ant against John Newman. Before the
case was finished, however, the tables
were turned, Cohn being made defend
ant.
From the story told it ppear that
Newman, who owed Cohn $3.50. called
at the latter'S store yesterday and told
Coin he could get groceries cheaper
elsewhere. One word followed another
and q fistic encounter resulted. At the
conclusion of the fight Cohn ran to the
Harrison police station and had New
man arrested.
Today Justice Branegan listened to
COINS story and then paroled New
man, who made a counter charge
against the grocer and displayed a bad
ly swollen nose as an evidence of what
| Coin had done to him in the fight.
Judge Branegan decided to e the
case to the grand jury and allowed
Cohn to so upon his own recognizance
and appear before the grand inquisition
when wanted.
Cohn's grocery store is at 203 Harm
son avenue, apS his saloon is at rs
