Stephen Kaller of Wilmington was fined s1s and costs and his wife, Ka- terina Kaller, s15 and costs by Judge Heald in the borough court Saturday morning on complaint charging them jointly with having assaulted William l.. Clark on April 22d and also charg- ing them with a breach of the peace The total fines and costs amounted to s4979. which the Kallers paid.
 It developed in the evidence that the two families have been having a dis pute over well located on the Clark property. MT. and Mrs. Kaller have been permitted by Mrs. Clark to take water from the well for tine past seven years. The Kallers finally became so bold as, to forbid the Clark family to take water from their own well. When MT. Clark went to the well on the morning of April 22d he was assault ed by MT. and Mrs. Kaller and they would not allow him to take any water.
 The row at the we'll which was on Sundav morning, disturbed the neigh bors and from the evidence it appear ed that a serious breach of the peace had been committed, as we'll as an assault.
 Mrs. Mary Clark and her son Will Eam testified as to the assault, and Robert F. Hull of Norwich, son-in- Jaw of Mrs. Clark. who was at the Clark house when the trouble occurred, cor roborated the statements of Mrs. Clark and her son, and told the court that Mrs. KalIer had used vile and violent language toward MT. Clark.
 Mrs. Christine Zurmina and her daughter said they were aroused by the boisterous language of Mrs. Kaller.
