 ON THE STREET AT DoUeLA:

DOUGLAS. Jan. 24. A general free-for.au fight ocurred on lower Front street this morning, about nine o'clock. in which the participants were two women and one man. It seems from the statements made in court. that Lyna Courtney assaulted Florence Brady and when the Brady woman proved rather too good a fighter for her. she called on Gus zu. liany. who was present. to assist her. He proceeded to slap Florence Brady's face, according to allegations. The parties were hailed into court and Mu- niclpal Magistrate R. R. Hubbard fined Zuliany $25 on the charge of assault,
 then assessed another fine of S25 against him for contempt of court, committed by calling June Peterson, one of the witnesses. a vile and in decent name in the presence of the court ZulIany was remanded to jail ln default of payment of the fines. A charge of assault was lodged against the Brady woman. by Lyna Courtney. and she gave bond in the sum of $25 for her appearance in the municipal court at 2:s0 o'clock to- morrow afternoon. She claims that she Is innocent and that the Courtney woman assaulted her.
