WOMEN PELT EACH
Other With EGGS
Angry Housewife Turns Basket
OF Hen Fruit on Grocer's
Head

OAKLAND, July 5.-Mrs. Marguerite
Thornton of 1923 Santa Fe avenue
swore out warrants this morning for
the arrest on charges of battery of
Morris e. Gogan, grocer of San Pablo
and Santa Fe avenues, of Mrs. Gogan,
the grocers WIFE and of Mrs. James.
a neighbor and ally of the Gogans.
The battery alleged was the pelting Of
Mrs Thornton and her mother with
fresh eggs.
The complainant admitted to the
prosecuting attorney that she did not
meekly submit to being bon1barded
with the hen fruit. Her story was that
she went to Gogan's store last Friday
evening to buy goods. The dealer, she
said, insulted her, and she finally, in
her resentment, threw an egg at him.
Gogan countered with another egg, and
after half a dozen had been exchanged
Mrs. Thornton put the grocer down and
out by picking up the egg basket and
turning it upside down on Gogans head.
The eggs crushed beneath the basket
and the top of Gogan's head, closed his
eyes, and Mrs. Thornton escaped from
the place.
Last night she and her mother de-
eded that an apology for the insult Of
fered her Friday evening must be de-
manded, and they went at once to
Gogan's store They found the grocer
away, but Mrs. Gogan and Mrs. James
received the invaders with a shower
of eggs that soon put the attacking
force to flight. In consequence Mrs.
Thornton sought the arrests.
