ANOTHER MAN and
OFFICER FRANK FROST

When Newton Irish and James
Byers were hailed before Judge Glib
bons' court yesterday afternoon,
charged with creating a disturbance
on the street by engaging in a fistic
encounter, it would see that just
an ordinary cheated argument" case
had come up, but the facts of the
case proved to be very different.
From the testimony of the defend
ants, Acting City Attorney Graham
M. Torrance soon gathered that the
testimony of eye witnesses would be
necessary and a recess was granted.
| At o'clock the court recOnvened
and John Goodman, Elmer Marin and
G. p. Irish were called to the stand.
Their stories showed that Byers had
Einterfered with the domestic affairs
Iof Mr.. Irish for the past several
weeks. Wednesday night Mr.. Irish
met his wife in the park and sent
fher home. Shortly after he met Mr..
Flyers in the park. A quarrel en-
Issued but as Byers led Irish to be-
ilieve that he carried gun they did
not come to blows. Later, Irish met
lByers in front of Crothers' barber
shop and after a few words blows
were exchanged. Patrolman Frost
soon appeared on the scene and made
the arrest.
Byers was fined $25 or thirty days
in the county Jail, and Irish was
given $40 or fifteen days and his SEN
tence was suspended. Byers paid hla
fine and was released.
