JUSTICE COURT CASES.
Lack OF Domestic Tranquility in Two
Families is Shown.


Heskie Smith of Wolverine. was ar
rested and arraigned before Justice
Fisher this morning, on complaint of
his wife, who charges she was at
tackled and severely beaten at
an early hour this morning
Smith claims the charge is trumped
up one and that he is not guilty. How
ever, Mrs Smith exhibited TO the court
a lock of her hair which she claims
was forcibly torn from her head by
her husband and the court set June
10 as the date OF trial. Inability to Sc
cure bonds of 500 led to Smiths be-
ing remanded to the county Jail to
await trial.
Mrs. John Sterbenz was arraigned
before Justice Jackola this morning on
charge of assault and battery pre-
ferred by Mrs. A. Westerberg. Not
guilty was the plea of the defendant
and indifference to her sex and the
fact that the case did not seem to be
of an especially serious nature. the
court fixed the amount of the bonds
at $50, pending the hearing which was
set for Thursday morning. Mrs
Sterbenz husband, who accompanied
her To the court, demurred at provid-
ing the bonds asked advising the court
to remand his wife to Jail to await her
hearing. Sterbenz' Indifference brought
forth stirring rebuke from court
officer present and the latter himself
secured the woman's bonds.

PRESENT ARGUMENTS TODAY
FOR lAKES-TO-GUlF PASSAGE

Washington. ID. c., June Public
officials and representatives Of the
commercial interests of Minnesota and
neighboring states appeared before the
rivers and harbors board of engineers
today and presented arguments in sup
port of the project for building a canal
to connect Lake Superior and the Mis-
sissippi river. The cost of the canal
is estimated at about $S.OO0,O00. The
engineers appointed To investigate the
subject have reported that. while the
project is feasible from an engineering
standpoint the prospective commercial
benefits will not be great enough TO
Justify such large expenditure Of
public funds.
