II Is rare that the police are called
by the report OF one woman as.
saulting another. but such a thing
happened last evening. according to
the officers. A call was received
from the home OF Mrs. Nancy Eli
OFT. who keeps rooming house at
229 Byron street. with the statement
! that Mrs. Elliott had been struck
over the left hand with a bottle by
Mrs. Andrew Seweli. who rents from
her part of the same dwelling. Patrol.
man Lundberg went to the place.. but
all was quiet when he got there, and
Mrs. Sewell was out.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Elliott, Mrs. Sewell struck her over
the back of the left hand and arm
three times with quart milk bottle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sewell. she says, had
been making arrangements to move
out. their month Just expiring. Mr..
Sewell had borrowed a cot from Mrs.
Elliott, and had been using II to
sleep on the porch. Mrs. Elliott says
that last evening when Mr.. sewell
was about to take the cot out of the
yard and put It on the porch, she
told him to put II in the cellar. where
Il belonged, instead. as he would
thus avoid the trouble of handling II
twice. She says that as she spoke
she had her hand on the knob OF
the screen door of the porch.
Rl-i.. Ef..., lsA-
At this. Mrs. Elliott says, Mrs. Sc
well few into rage. and remarking
that Mr.. Sewell would put the cot
back In the cellar when he got ready,
she ordered Mrs. Elliott 10 take her
hand of the porch door. Mrs. ELI.
OFT refused 10 do so. considering that
she had as much right to be on the
porch as either Mr.. Sewell or Mrs.
Sewell. Mrs. Sewell hereupon, ac-
cording to Mrs. Elliott, struck her
with the bottle across the hand and
arm with which she was leaning on
the porch door.
/ Mrs. Elliott says she Is sixty-four
years old and Mrs. Sewell about for
~. Mrs. Elliott called DIR. T. C.
Kelly, who bandaged up the hand and
farm, and she went Immediately to
bed. though II was quite early in the
evening. DR.. Kelly stated today that
the hand and arm were very badly
bruised. though no bones were
broken.
Mrs. Elliott said Mrs. Sewell had
been very angry at her, before on
/ several occasions and that she had
told Mrs. Sewell that n she did not
use more refined language, she would
have to move out. Mrs. Sewell did
make arrangements to move away,
though Mrs. Elliott had not actually
ordered her TO do SO, according TO
the latter's story. Mrs. Elliott SAYS
that on one occasion Mrs. Sewell took
the key TO two doors that divided the
apartments rented by the sewells
from the rest Of the house, aud kept
1t, refusing 10 give II TO Mrs. Elliott.
Mrs. Elliott said last evening that
she intended to have Mrs. sewell
