FOUGHT ABOUT THE WAR.
Taftvilfe Austrian and His Brother Roughly Used by Two Ugly Rus sians.

Six prisoners were presented before Judge Harry E. Back in the town court Monday morning. One of them, Ben janin Newton, an American citizen who became intoxicated Saturday evening, was sentenced to 30 days in jail therefor; the others were repre- sentatives of warning nations in Eu- reproductions and Austrians-who became involved in a bloody fight as the result of an argument over the war.
 The two Austrians. brothers named the former of Williamsville, the lat ter of Taftvil1e, went to Putnam Sat- urday afternoon and drank more than was good for them. Three Russians, stephen Aryouk. Danielson; Felix Sawhyk and Kieby Sabrick, also wis ited Putnam and did likewise All happened to leave Putnam on the same southbound car and all left 1t, at points not d1stantly separated, near what is known as Williamsville corner
 All started to walk over to Will Evansville and, 1t is said, the talk about the war started. From all the evidence in court Monday morning. the Slozok brothers were peaceful and not at all inclined to fight. Aryouk, who is but 22 and has the appearance of g. white hope" was more belligerent, however, and started in to clean up the SIo- zoks, he having the assistance of Sawhyk. What they did to the Aus trtans was plenty. and then some. An drew Slozok was so badly punched and pounded on the head with rocks that he nearly bled to death before help arrived. His brother Gabriel was also quickly pounded into submission by the giant Aryouk and according to GabriePs own statement in court where he wept many tears from swol- len and blackened eyes. he took refuge behind some great rocks to escape the further fury of the Russian, who is very much of bad man. It appeared in court that Sabrick did not assault the Slozoks and pleaded with the other Russians not to do so.
 Andrew SlozoI was treated by Dr. George Barnes of Dayville, who found the man had severe cuts on the head and was weak from loss of blood. He was still weak on Monday.
 Deputy Sheriff Michael Grimshaw Constable Hosea Greene and Special Officers John Grimshaw and Jones. the latter of WIiliamsville. had hard time in rounding up the five men who engaged in the fight. spending hours on the job. They chased some of them through the woods and searched a boarding house. under hazardous con- ditions, in Will1amsvil1e, before they completed the roundup.
 Aryouk was defiant every minnie and even after Officer Jones had him backed in a corner at the boarding house and had gun damned into his ribs to keep him there he sneered at the officer and told him to shoot if he had the nerve. also declaring that he was not afraid to die. The officers were called upon to hand out some rather stiff medicine to Aryouk and Sawhyk before they submitted to ar rest.
 For the assault on the Slozoks who were freed by the court. Aryouk was given 180 days in jail and 90 days ad d- dftional for resisting the officers. His costs amounted to $18.44. Sawhyk was given 90 days for assaulting the S1ozoks and 90 days more for resist ing the officers. His costs amounted to S16.64. Sabrick was found not guilty.
 The Russians were also accused of stonfng automobiles that passed dur ing the time the fight was on. but this charge was not filed against them. It also appeared that Aryouk was also laid low-knocked out-by one of the stones that flew during the fight. but he came back soon enough to make a whole lot more trouble. All but Sa- brick showed numerous marks of the tough fight in which they engaged.
