A JUSTICE COURT FARCE.
Failure 70 Prove Assault Charge Costs
Minor Part Of Wages.

I
The blindfolded goddess OF justice
nearly was moved 10 tear the handage
from her eyes and drop the scales and
sword in the court OF Justice Croze in
Houghton saturday afternoon. The
agitation OF the goddess was caused
principally by Robert Blumbitt OF HUI

had caused the arrest Of Nicholas
Chassone. also OF the same place, on
the charge OF assault. After his arrest
Chassone secured legal talent in the

young man did not assault him and
even said he didn't know that Chas-
some was arrested. although his name

the complaining witness with the costs
of the trial amounting to nearly twen-
~ dollars.
