lenek, was sentenced to five days in
the county jail by Judge Edw. N. Po-
mainville this morning. Mrs. Oalenek
vas arrested ON complaint Of Off

pure alcohol was found ON her.
John Oalenek has been arrested

who charged him with assault and
battery. Oalenek has always told
the court that his wife drank and
ienied abusing her. It seems from
the present case that Oalenek's state
ments were true and the woman
was the one who caused the trouble.
