 Matuski was sentenced to serve four months in Jail and fine of $1 and costs. Sielko was fined $100 and costs.
 The two prisoners were engaged in a battle in the home of Matuski when the policemen arrived. Matusko, who is powerfully built, grappled with Off, ficer Buckley, and tried to throw him over the bannister of the stairway. When it looked as though the officer would be dashed to the floor below, he managed to get his black jack free and swung it on Matuski's head.
 The blow felled the huge Slav, and it required 12 stitches to sew the deep gash in his head when he was brought to the Emergency Hospital for re- pairs When arraigned today he was charged with breach of the peace and resisting an officer, while his com panion Sielko was charged with breach of the peace.
