IN MUNICIPAL COURT

At the close of the testimony in the
preliminary examination last week OF
Mrs Emma Novy, charged by Deputy
State Fire Marshall Finnegan of Green
Bay with having purposely caused the
fire at her little store on Chicago street
last August the court said that he did
not desire to hear arguments as he was
convinced that the state had not pre-
sented enough testimony to hold the
defendant for trial in circuit court.
Both sides were satifed with this and
the court summed up briefly and dis
charged. Mrs. Noyy, saying, in part
that he did not believe any jury would
take more than brief time in acquit-
ting on the testimony the state had pre-
seated. Tbs main points Against her
were over-insurance effected shortly
before, and an admission that knowing
the fire was there she had not called
the department but had gone home a
block or two away to tell her son.
These were fairly well explained.
The man who was picked up last
week nearly frozen to death was given
sympathy in the form of fine of So
for being drunk. He was a seaman off
the steamer John H. King, named
Polski.
Two Jolly Jack Tars ashore, George
McPhearson and Dave Anderson,
learned the secret of where it can be
procured and their knowledge cost
them S10S6 apiece McPhearson, like
a loyal shipmate, purchased Dawes
freedom as the latter was dead broke,
also like a good seaman ashore.
The now ever present automobile
collision suit was up last week under
the title of Lappen VS.. Palzer, and it
occupied all of Thursday To hear the
plaintiff tell it he was way over on the
right side hugging the ditch, while the
defendant says that his car was actual
ly in the ditch on his right. In the
miraculous manner common in motor
collisions in court the two cars hit
head on. The proceedings were en-
livened by the testimony of physical
combat that followed, and hints of
moonshine. Hearing of the arguments
was adjourned to Friday, this week.
A default judgment was taken
against the 500 Line railway in the
sum of $3.50 by default last week, for
the loss of horse belonging to John
Tuschel of the town of Cato. The OBJ
ject of the company in letting this case
go to a default judgment was not dis
cernible.
The two young women who were
taken at the Dassey saloon two weeks
ago and instructed to take railway
trip did so. But they didn't stay away
long The police raided (as the re-
porter's call it) room in the building
at 706 Chicago street at midnight Sun
day and found the two there with two
men and took the quartet over to the
jail where they all spent Merry
Christmas The girls gave their names
as Jane De Meuse and Helen Fronzee
The latter is IS years of age. The men
were Fred Denies and Bert johnson.
Tuesday morning bail was fixed al
800 for each and the matter adjourn.
