COURT DISAGREES
 AND BOOSTS FINE
Thinks Breaking a Mans Nose
 Is a Serious 0ifenSe

After William Lauzainkos, through Attorney P. F McDonough, had en- tered plea of nolo contendere to the charge of assaulting Martin Stuslicki in Lithuanian hall last Saturday even ing so Viciously that the latter's nose vas broken, Assistant Prosecuting At tOrney J. G. Woods suggested a fine of $20 and costs. Immediately Law yer McDonough objected and sug- gested a fine of $15 and costs where upon Judge John H. kirkham en- tered the argument and said that to
 bis mind either fine would be ridicu- lously low and if any fine was to be imposed he would make it $25 and costs which he did.
 During a dance in the Park street hall last Saturday evening Stuslicki became engaged in a brawl with Lau- zainl1os and a man named Julius Va saris. There was no direct evidence against Vasaris who was defended by Lawyer Joseph A. Glover, and nolle was entered in his cale. Witnesses told the states attorney that Lau- zainkos grabbed a beer bottle and slammed Stuslicki across the nose with it. The man has been at the hospital ever since and in addition to having the broken nose set the sur geons are grating a piece of skin on- to his face. In imposing the hne Of $25 and costs the judge remarked that it was ridiculously low for such 9. serious offense and he accepted 1t only because the prosecutor recom- mended it. He said to his mind the accused, if innocent should be dis charged, and if guilty should be more severely dealt with.
