PECULIAR TURN
IN COURT CASE
Complainant Fined $40 on
DisorderIy Conduct Charge

Albert Vinegar became the loser
by an odd turn of the wheels of
justice last night when he made
complaint against Hyman Shapiro,
his landlord, for breaking and enter
ing. Vinegar convicted himself of
disorderly conduct on his own testi-
mony and was fined $40 by Recorder
Kehoe, and Shapiro was discharged.
The court held Vinegar guilty of
~disorderly conduct because he said
he lived in two rooms with a woman
not his wife.
Testimony given by both sides in
the complaint Of Vinegar against
Shapiro indicated that Vinegar had
boarded with a Hand family that
had rented Shapiro's house IN Elm
street. Members of the Hand family
removed some time ago, but Vinegar
remained there and engaged Lulu
Flowers as housekeeper. When
money ceased to come Shapiro OBJ
jected. Vinegar said he entered
the premises by breaking off a lock
and chopped the walls and ceilings
with a Ratchet. 1t appeared Wine
gar should have removed with the
Hand family, but instead he claims
he remained in the house and paid
rent to the Hand family. He stated
he did not owe Shapiro any rent, but
the latter estimated it was due from
one of the parties.

Starting Going South.

try has been watched With sonic un-

This is one of the imported birds
that it is feared will rank with the
English sparrow as a pest. 1t does
no particular harm in England. but 1t
was introduced into Australia a num-
Der of years ago and there 1t has been
a serious menace to the wheat crop.
It's only redeeming feature is that 1t
is a much larger bird than the English
sparrow, and therefore likely to be
easier to handle The birds were
