FOR help. but before achievements
arrived Stone had placed ahymaker
which landed him OF the sidewalk

Tuesdays Session
Owing to the fact that Monday was
a legal holiday the mills of justice
did not grind until Tuesday. when
both Police Justice Dunlap and
Justice Of the Peace Beeler held
court. The case of the Greeks. re-
ferred to above, had been transferred
for some mysterious reason from the
city court to that Of Justice Beeler.
Here George Talagansis appeared as
defendant, charged by George Pou-
lous, complaining witness, with ag-
gravated assault and battery.
Revelle McMicken attended to the
interests of the state and l.. f. Arm
strong appeared as attorney for the
defense. Here once more the two
legal antagonists were found in i'll

had countered and accused Poulous
