SHOUTS AT
 OFFICER ON STAND
Objects to Policeman Acting in
 Alleged Role Of Prosecutor

An otherwise uneventful session of 1 rolice court was featured this morning 1 with verbal clash between Attorney 1 f. B. HungerfOrd, representing Will i liam Zuguskoz, and Officer Michael ] Meehan, who had arrested Zuguskoz and Joseph Rabis for fighting in 1 DudjaclIs saloon yesterday afternoon. l Officer Meehan had testified that the | two men had been fighting and that | ZuguskOz had assaulted him. Law l yer HungerfOrd repeatedly asked the patrolman if Rabis was not drunk at 1 the time and the officer reiterated that he had some drink in but would never be arrested for drunkenness. :" Finally, when the officer would not : state definitely whether or not Rabis was "drunk," Lawyer Hungerford turned on him and shouted: "Whats the matter with you, can't you answer a question? Are you so enthusiastic to prosecute this man that you won't answer?"
 Judge Meskill poured oil on the troubled waters by remarking that the policeman had said Rabis had some drink in and that was sufficient. The fight itself was not a serious one. Rabis entered the saloon and in spirit of fun gave a friend of his kick The friend resented the kick and punched back. In some manner ZugukOz got into the Wrangle. The court imposed a fine of $5 on Rabis and discharged Zuguskos.
 Prosecutor Enters NOIle.
 John Tynick of 155 North street was arrested last night by Officer George E,llinger on complaint of his boarding mistress, who said he had insulted her and she had to bite him for protection. After the case had been partly tried this morning Assistant Prosecutor J. G. Woods entered nOlle when it ap neared that the woman was just as troublesome as the man.
 Brady Gets One More Chance.
 John Brady was in court charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace. The man explained that he was just out of the hospital and if given one more chance would behave. 'All right, I'll give you your chance this morning but if you come back here again for drunkenness I'll send you to the state farm for inebriates at Norwich for six months" said the judge.
 Other Cases Today.
 Among the other cases in court was that of William FarnsWorth, arrested | at his home on Elm street by Officer Fred Wagner yesterday afternoon on 1 a charge of drunkenness and breach | Of the peace. Farnsworth had never been arrested before and was given another chance. He was placed on probation.

The only thing the average man
knows about higher criticism is that
his wife often bawls him out until
he feels about as low down as a razor
back hog.
A woman likes to have a big closet
In every room so she can have the
pleasure of frisliing through it for bur
glars every night before she goes to
bed.
People who are afraid to hand you
any back talk are not bit afraid to
hand you a lot Of talk behind your
back
The sort of man who gets highly
peeved because he can't find socks that
will exactly match his necktie never
makes very big dent in the sands of
time.
There is just about as much fighting
talk nowadays as there was before the
telephone became a necessity, but there
are fewer black eyes these days.
Old man smallpox is some unpopular.
But he hasn't much on the only win

session.
If men would work as much as they
talk we would all have money.
Every now and then a man sits down
and wonders why in Sam Hill his an
cestors didn't have sense enough to
buy real estate when the downtown
section of his home city was selling
for 10 cents an acre.

The reason why we like to brag
about our public school system and

what she thought was envy was mere

When you are telling your pet funny
