of assault on the person of John lilies.
The complainant was Peter August
lilies, the father of John lilies. 1t
appeared from the testimony that
young lilies had been sent around to
ascertain whether LEM was keeping
his saloon open on Sunday. The COM
plant alleged that the youth was as
sau.ted, but the jury nevertheless
brought in verdict of not guilty.
Two days later LEM appeared in the
municipal court and pleaded guilty to
the charge of using abusive language
to young lilies. He was fined, the
total of the fine and costs being
