Judge Alling warned both Mrs. Brown and Mrs, cashman that he did not want to here of any more trouble between them.
 The alleged assault occurred on January 24, according to the testl- mony, in the yard where the two women live. Mrs Brown told the court that she went to visit neigh Dor and the neighbor told her some stories that Mrs. Cashman Is all legged to have circulated about her. The woman told Mrs. Brown that Mrs, Cashman had told her a story that reflected on her character and was of n slanderous nature.
 Arriving back at home, Mrs. Brown met Mrs. Cashman in the yard, and walking up to her de- manded that she go over to the neighbours house and repeat the story she had told in her presence and either prove or deny 1t. Mrs. Cashman refused to go 10 the house and repeat the story according to the testimony, so Mrs. Brown at tempted to drag her over, pushing the woman to the ground when she was unsuccessful.
 Judge William F. Mangan, ap- bearing for Mrs. Brown, told the court that Mrs. Brown had sufficient provocation for acting as she did! He argued that any person would become angry upon learning that a woman had been circulating slander- ous lies about the neighborhood and would be apt to exceed their legal rights in attempting to have a showdown.
