Today was ladies' day in police court and the fair sex figured in every case with the exception of one iii which Lucius Kendall, boy, was charged with violating a local traffic ordinance. The cases in which the women figured were varied and ex- citing.
 Autoist Is Let Off.
 At S:45 o'clock Tuesday night Otncer Atwater discovered a large Pope touring car standing near a hydrant across from Halls store on Main street. It remained there until Il o'clock when young Lucius Ken- oall of Maple Hill came and took it. Ahe officer spoke to him and he de- hled having noticed the hydrant Yes- terday Detective Sergeant Samuel pamIorth served a summons on the ooy to appear in court today. The ooys fathers name is also Lucius ana when Clerk Danberg read the charge the older man stood up and Ssld he knew nothing about the affair until he saw the summons. Then the ooy was charged With the offense ana pleaded not guilty. His father spoke in his behalf, saying that his son was familiar with the law as on previous occasions he had refused to stop near hydrants, so he felt sure the boy did not see it Tuesday. Fur thermore, the elder MT. Kendall said, his son had passed the New Jersey chauffeur's examination which in- cludes a test on this subject. The examiner asked the applicant for a license to stop opposite a hydrant and ii he does not refuse to do it his application is denied.
 In view of the circumstances Judge John Ii. Kirkham suspended judg- ment.
 Mrs. Ice Objects.
 For the third consecutive time this week Mrs. Nellie M Ice was brought before the court to have her case con- tinued. She was arrested Tuesday for the Woman's Massachusetts Reform atory where she is wanted for viOlat- ing parole. She was held from day to day waiting until the authorities came here to get her This morning she was represented by Attorney Will liam F. Mangan, who objected strong ly to her being held in durance vile
  setts officers. Just because they hve been having an election in Mass achusetts, is no reason this woman should be held here under arrest and the state, under the law, has got to show case for this,'' he argued. As- slstant Prosecutor J. G. Woods called Officer A. c. Malone to the stand and he testified that Mrs. Ice had re- fused to go back to Boston without extradition papers and it is while these are being made out that she is being held here. Bonds have been fixed at $500. The case was contin- ued until tomorrow and it is expect ed that the Massachusetts officers will arrive by that time, otherwise Lawyer Mangan will ask for her re- lease.

 Women Fight at Wedding.
 Once more it has been brought to the attention of the court that the female of the species is more deadly than the male" and when this deadly species becomes innoculated with the virus of the green-eyed monster they | become even more terrible. Mrs. Katie lspera stood before the court and admitted that she had assaulted 1 MISS Kate Ionzeska at @ wedding In Dudack's nall yesterday but she said 1 she was Justified.
