 Eggs Slipped Off Plate.
 Bursts of oratory from the prisoners pen and sprinklings of real humor characterized the trial of "Olie" Olson for drunkenness and breach of the peace. The entire situation, it was testified, arose from the fact that while "Olie" was frying eggs at. the home of Bengt Anderson yesterday morning, hot grease spattered up on his hand, causing him to let slip six fried eggs which he was holding on plate. Despite "Olie's'' urgent plea for leniency, Judge Griswold saw fit to sentence him to sixty days in jail, the prisoner having violated the pro- bation under which he was placed April 3, when arraigned in court for drunkenness, and subsequently, fined one dollar and costs, totalling eleven dollars.

Anderson didn't seem able to regard the court seriously and, during his testimony, went into frequent parox- l Esms of laughter. Things seemed to strike "Olie' as funny at times and | he too gave vent to his mirth oc- l casionally. Anderson told the court that the sad state of affairs had it's | beginning in his kitchen yesterday morning. "Olie,'' he said, let six nice l fried eggs slip off plate and onto 1 the floor. When he spoke to the em- bryo cook regarding his carelessness l the latter became peeved. he said, | and, brandishing the butcher knife with which he had been turning the | innocent eggs in the frying pan, he rushed for him, inflicting a gash in his hand. %"
 What did you do them" asked 1 Prosecutor Gibney.

 William Hill, neighbor, happened along as "Olie'' rushed around the | corner of the house with the biggest knife he ever saw."r He beat it for
