MUNICIPAL COURT.
Judge Settles Dispute Arising from
Cutting of Mccarty's Clotheslines.

Tive Poles and a clothesline formed
basis of a hearing. Thursday forenoon.
at the municipal court, the details of
which revealed the troubles which will
sometimes arise when two or more
families occupy u house that is ar
ranged for the accommodation of one.
The participants in the trouble were
two Polish families. who live at %
Laurel street, Mrs. Len Rumanof liv-
ing downstairs, while the upper tene-
ment is occupied by John McCarty.
and both families keep boarders.
The complainant in the case was Mr..
McCarty, who on behalf of his wife,
alleged that Lena had cut their
elothesline, which contained Mrs. Nc
Cartys washing, but Lena. the defend
ant, allowed that the line was not cut
by her In the evidence that was
forthcoming it developed that the
clothesline in question was strung
across the porch of the lower tene-
ment and that Mrs. Rumanof held to
the opinion that the McCartys. Twin"
upstairs, had no right to use her porch
for a clothesyard. Mr.. McGarty allow
ed, however, that they had no place
10 hang their washings to dry, and
that the agent of whom they hired the
rent had tcld them that they could
use the porch downstairs. The court
disposed OF the case by giving the
parties concerned some advice and dis
charging the respondent.
The other business of the day con-
sisted of one case of intoxication, IN
which the respondent was allowed to
go after he had contributed s262. the
costs of court, to the welfare of the
