 Trouble between the Italian. and Polish residents of Mountain View, which has been brewing for several weeks, had an airing in court last night when Mrs. Pauline Chock was arraigned before Justice E. F. Prior on an assault charge. Mrs. Chock, frail little woman, was accused of as saulting three Italian women of amazon proportions and her victims exhibited several cuts and body bruises as evidence of the success of the Polish woman's attack. After listening to recital of the days hap penings, Justice Prior imposed a fine of s1 and costs, amounting to $9.50.
 Although she had a two-weeks-o baby in her arms during nearly the entire fight, Pauline was never in dis tress and she put the Italian forces
 
 before the retreat. Her victims re- quired the services of physician be- fore they could make a call on Grand Juror M. A. Norton to swear out warrant for their assailants arrest Deputy Sheriff w. C. Hart subsequent- ly placed Mrs. Chock under arrest and she was brought into court for hear ing last night. The light took place yesterday af- ternoon and Judging from the testi- mony presented in court it was a real battle. The Italian women, Mrs. Santo Mallie, Mrs. Lusia Grogiano and Mrs. Josephine Remmando, all neigh bors, were passing the Chock place when dog, owned by one of them, ran into the yard. The families have been at swords points for weeks and when the canine crossed the lawn Pauline "shooedp. it, away. . An argu- ment followed and in few minutes there was general mix.up. Mrs. Chock had a club which she used free- ly on the Italian belligerents When the fight became hot, the Polish worn- ,, an laid her baby on the lawn and with both arms free she wielded her club so effectively that the Italians ran to cover.
 pr. L.. H. Frost told the court of the injuries of the defeated women, all of them having welts and bruises to re- mind them of the fight. As in the struggle earlier in the day it was three against one in court last even ing, and Justice Prior found a pre- ponderance of evidence against the accused.
 Struck by Auto-Badly Bruised.
 Walter S. Bohonan is confined to his home on Bicycle street with painful, though not serious injuries, sustained last night when he was struck by an autom 0 bile, owned and driven by Will liam W. Reed of Bristol. He has a bad scalp wound, a wrenched knee, torn ear and contusions about the body.
 The accident occurred on the New Britain road shortly after 8 o'clock. MT. Bohonan was out walking with his wife at the time The Reed car was on it's way to Bristol. The driver turned to the side of the road to per- init another machine to pass. He claims his car was moving at req sonable speed at the time, but he was blinded by the headlights on the other machine and failed to see the 1 Bohonans until it was too late to |
 
 Mrs. Bohonan managed to keep out | of the way of the machine, but her | husband was not so successful. He l was knocked down and rendered un- conscious MT. Reed stopped his car l and brought the injured man to the | of1ice of pr. J. N. Bull, who dressed | his injuries.
 The matter was reported to Grand | Juror M A. Norton. The latter has not decided on what course he will | pursue. Mr.. Reed claims that he sounded his horn before he turned out | for the passing machine, although Bo- l1onan and his wife both declare they did not hear it.
 Plan Fight Against License.
 Prohibition workers have decided to make an early start in the fight against the saloons in Plainville, l which will be renewed in earnest in the fall and the town will be rep resented at a meeting to be held in the Congregational parish house in Bristol on June 8. when plans for the no-license campaign will be outlined.
 Bristol has been dry for the past two years and at the fall election the temperance advocates will make a de- 'termined effort to prevent a reopen ing of the saloons. They have in- vited the Plainville prohibitionists to take a part in planning and campaign and the anti-saloonists in both places will probably work together to ban ish John Barleycorn and his allies from their midst.
 Tn both Plainville and Bristol the license issue promises to overshadow
