FACTORY SQUABBLE
COMES INTO COURT

A young Polander was before Judge
Matthew Thursday afternoon as the re-
suit Of a little trouble which occurred
in the Wysndotte mill. According to the
story as told in court. the respondent
and another man Of the same nationality
were engaged in throwing pieces of we.
cloth at each other. doing it in q spirit
OF fun. The other fellow got enough
and wanted to stop but the respondent
kept it up. Finally the first man pushed
him away and then when he came back
took a piece Of broom handle which they
used to hold up a window with and hit
him with It, but not enough to hurt him
any. The tasks of the two men called
them away from each other for a while
and couple Of hours later one Of them
came near the machine of the respondent,
who picked up the broom handle and
struck the victim over the head a hard
blow. laying open his scalp for several
inches and necessitating FIVE stitches to
close the wound. After the Judge had
heard the evidence and the young fellow
had agreed to pay the doctors bill. he
was released upon a payment Of IS and
costs. the whole amounting to $13.45. The
money was secured for him by his moth
er and sister after he had been locked
up for a couple Of hours.
