Marcus and Antonio Sartorius Fined
 on Several Counts and Pay Their
 Victim SiOo and Doctor Bills.
 As sequel of the fight on "the Sands" north of the village, August IA, in which Henry Neeland was roughly handled by couple of Italians, Marcus and Antonio Sartorius, brothers, were taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Rhoades, Marcus being arrested at his home on the Sands, and Antonio sur rendering, himself on Monday, coming in from Millerton, whither he had flea just after the trouble with Neeland. Both were placed in the lookup until 9 o'clock Monday afternoon, when Jus tice Ford was scheduled to hold court on their cases. ....
 A considerable audience had assem- bled in the court room at that hour. 1n- cluding @ number of witnesses, and some idlers interested simply in 'the spectacular features of the ordinary mu- nicipal court.

A few min utes later the whole trlbunal-judge, lawyer, deputy sheriff, and prisoners emerged into the court room and out through the main entrance; the judge put his book into his pocket and in answer to an anxious inquirer replied that it was all over, and the expectant multitude filed out into the rain.
 The prisoners, it appears, were anxious to plead guilty and settle, and the judge had fined them each $6 and costs on each of four counts-selling in- toxicating liquor without 8 license, ''reputation," assault and breach of the peace, aggregating, in the case of Marcus, $44.72, and in the case of An. tonic, $36.72. He also sentenced them to 30 days in jail each, but suspended sentence for six months, during which their behavior will be watched. IL addition the prisoners paid $100 for the | jniurinS inflicted mon Nealaud ann agreed to pay all his doctor bills and hospital expenses for treatment made necessary by his injuries, is being al legged that as a result of his pummeling Neeland had become delirious and hi removal to the Winsted hospital wal necessary.
