Judge Maurice w. Lord held his
first hearings Friday. The first case
was that Of State VS.. George w. Gro

He was given 80 days in the county
Jail
Then came a neighborhood row, two
families from Water street having
come to blows over child. The COM
plainant was Marian NJ. Rich. who ac-
cused Sarah Harvey with assault and
battery, stating in her evidence that
the latter "swatted" her and otherwise
ill treated her. Mrs. Harvey pleaded
not guilty but admitted in her testi-
mony that she did strike at Mrs. Rich.
All Water street turned out to hear
the case and a number Of the acts of
the row were rehearsed before his
Honor. who after some words Of ad-
vice to the respondent, and on her
promise that she would strive to keep
the peace thereafter, allowed her to go
without further punishment.
Later in the afternoon Judge Lord
issued a warrant in which Amos Bow
en- was complainant against Tewkes-
bury Dodge charging him with assault
with a dangerous weapon and attempt
to kill. For some years Charles H.
Bowen, son of the complainant, and
the respondent have had trouble over
the boundary Of their lands which ad-
join Surveys have been made by each
and fences placed and replaced. The
last fence placed on the property was
left to stand and then the trouble be-
gan. Rubbish was thrown first on one
side of the fence and back on the other
until Friday the crisis came when
Dodge at work on his side with

Bowen with the weapon. Several
wounds were cut in the latter's head
