WAS FINED
FOR KISSING
OSCILLATION OF ANOTHER MANS
WIFE COSTS FOREIGNER FIVE
DOLLARS AND COSTS.

This morning before Squire Amos,
OF this city, two foreigners, miners of
,Worthington, were up for trial, one
being charged with having kissed the
81 iiffe; aifdatite cstief estsiFgete
With being drunk and assaulting the
man whom he claimed kissed his wife.
The men neither of them could
speak English, and the Interpreters
had to be called on in the case, the
trial being very interesting through
out and also very dramatic, in that
one man went into tears, and had
quite a cry over thpSaffair claiming
that # the other man would stay away
from his house and lei his wife alone
that he would get along all right.
Squire Amos gave the men quite a
lecture. and a the same time present
ed them with fines, the man who
kissed the other mans wife drawing
$500 and costs, amounting to $500 in
all, this being rather a stilf price to
nay for one kiss, especially when you
did not get it, but still, you must lln'
derstand that It was imported, ana
therefore there was a special tax on
the same, rs we'll as the importation
charges and duty which one always
has TO pay on imported goods.
The other man for being drunk was
fined S1.OO and costs, or a total Of
$500 and both men gave orders on
their mining company pay envelopes
for the amount Of the fines
In one part OF the evidence it was
proved that one OF the men had taX-
en- hatchet and cut up his wlfe $
shoes. and when the squire question
cd him about it, he said that he had a
right 10 do it, as he had paid for. the
shoes, and the woman was his WIFE,
but the squire explained the matter
to him In a different light.

Roosevelt declares he has the high

holding that the attitude Of the people
