This may be due to his as- siduous clerkship as one of the speedy ink splashers in Battery A, of the Rhode Island Field Artillery.

 'M. o. T. C., Detachment No. f.'' Parents Take Up ChiIdren's Quarrel.
 Peter Julian, an Italian, was before Judge Lucius H. Fuller in Putnam city court Tuesday morning charged with breach of the peace. The com plaint was made by Frank Naroda, a Pole, who appeared in court and was the only witness called. Julian pleaded guilty.
 According to testimony which was taken through an interpreter, Julian and Naroda live with their families in a mill tenement on Elm street, Naroda downstairs and Julian upstairs The troub eltahtdel .
 trouble that led to Julians' arrest start ed Monday morning between the chill dren of the two families. The parents took up the children's quarrel and Ma roda testified that Julian attempted to tell him where his (Naroda's) chiI- dren could and could not go. Accord ing to the witness, Julian then went upstairs and returned carrying an axe which he wielded in a threatening manner until Naroda's wife interfered and separated the two men.
 In disposing of the case Judge Fuller told the two families that since they could not live peacea bly, under one roof it would be best for all concerned if one or the other could find another tenement. He also warned both men to keep the peace and not to take the law into their own hands by means of axes. Upon the recommendation of Prosecuting Attorney Eric H. Johnson the case was. continued for two months.
