Gus NIarmis is having a hearing
this afternoon on charge of assault
and battery. Franc Tillion. French
man, is the complaining witness. His
best evidence is a badly cut eye. a
mournful reminder of the fracas
which occurred the other day.
The story told by Gus Marmis at
the hearing before Judge Phil Nc
Loughlin is that Tillion came into the
restaurant owned by Gus Marmis and
his brothers and had a lunch. Marmis
charged Tillion with neglecting to pay
for his lunch just at Tillion was going
out.
Tillion replied that he did not in
tend to pay twice. and turning to the
door again walked out on the side
walk and went down the street. Mar
mis- followed him and, according to
the testimony Of two other witnesses,
Jake Ukin and John Frances Murphy,
grasped Tillion's watch chain and tore
1t loose from his vest. Marmis then
struck Tillion two blows. according to
the witnesses. cutting open his cheek
under the eye. Marmis was then ar
rested. y
Gus Marnis has two brothers who
have also attained no little notoriety
for their festicuff. endeavors. Nick

Mrs. Sprague contends that the sit

in view of the fact that there is now
only one slaughter house in operation,
the other being condemned by the
city board of health. AT present, on
account of congestion, a great deal
of butchering is done on farms where
animals are bought and the conditions

ploye Of the Keokuk Electric com

tiers and he will be sadly missed
