When Washington Had the Cri.

One John Fitzpatrick. editing George
Washingtons diaries. permits himself
to say that thefhleedings in the gem

the patient so that he was unable to
withstand the throat condition. Many
commentators have intimated that
Washington was practically hled to
death. Some of these commentators
seem ohSessed with the allopat thic
complex or more concerned to vent
their feelings than To record history.

asked the officer before court to
drop it, and when called on to testi-
fy he repeated the request. He en-
ployed Smigel about a week ago to
work in the store and agreed to pay
him about SIS a week. according
to his testimony.
Smigel, although he pleaded guilty
testified that he had Popalarski's
permission to take his weeks pay.
He expected SIS but the bills in the
register amounted to only Sl4 and
he did not bother to scoop up the
loose change. He spent $2.l5 for
meat, milk and cigarettes and Off

iron PIPE USED
in Factory fight
Joking Remark Results in
Quarrel and Arrest

Wednesday night as the employees
OF local factories were ringing out
at the end of the days work, Rich
ard Blank, aged 81, of 20 Glen
street had difficulty locating his
time card at the Stanley Works, and
Adam Wolf of loo Willow street, a
fellow employe, jokingly asked him
what was the matter with his eye
sight, according to testimony in po-
lice court this morning when Blank
was arraigned before Judge Alling
and assault. Blank rese nted Wolfe's
attitude and they had a verbal battle
in which choice language was used.
Yesterday morning when Wolf ar
rived to ring the clock and start the
days work, Blank, armed with an
iron pipe, leaped at him and struck
him in the face, opening cash on
his left cheek. According to Wolf,
Blank struck him twice and would
have killed him but for the inter-
vention of another workman, who
took the pipe away from Blank after
a tussle.
Blank admitted having struck
Wolf with the pipe, but claimed that
Wolf struck him the night previous
and wanted to fight him. He admit
ted he armed himself so as to have
the advantage over Wolf. but he con-
tended that the reason the pipe was
wrested from him was to allow Wolf
to beat him. Immediately after the
fight, Blank went to the foreman
and resigned as he realized, he said,
he would be discharged.
Judge Alling fined Blank SO and
costs and told him there would have
been no fight had he minded his own
business. If Wolf threatened or as
saulted him Wednesday night, Blank
should have complained to the po-
lice or allow the matter to drop.
but he had no right to take the law
in his own hands the judge said.

So, OF III Orange street, charged
with non-support on October /. was
