home Saturday afternoon. The frac-
ture was reduced and the bone set

Two Family MiX-Ups
Two family quarrels as pretty as
any which have graced Plainville in
months broke out Saturday night
and kept the police and doctors busy
for a time. Deputy Sheriff E. w.
'Furrey received call early in the
evening from Mountain View and in
vestigated the disturbance which was
in progress there. He found that
Michael Bichun and his wife had en-
gagged in an argument and that
Bichun had turned it into much
rougher game by striking her on
the head with a milk bottle. He
followed this up by repeating the
blow unerringly with a caffee pot,
injuring her so badly that she need
ed treatment from DR.. J. c. Tanner,
who said that her thick hair had
probably been all that saved her
from being killed by the. blow. On
Saturday Mrs. Bichun had badly
scalded her face when she acct
dentally upset a pail of boiling
water.
Bichun was locked up on charg
es of assault and breach of the
peace for a hearing today.
A short time after this another
fracas was reported at the home Of
Samuel Diawczyk, and this was also
by Furrey Just what
it was all about is not quite plain.
One version given the authorities
was that a neighboring family call
ed upon the Diawczyks and was
greeted with flying fists, while an
other is that Diawczyk wanted TO
go to New York and meet his daugh-
ter but wished TO go alone. To rem
der his wife unable to accompany
him, he is said to have thrown her
off the porch, thereby accomplish
ing his plan wonderfully.
Mrs. Diawczyk suffered a broken
bone in her hand and a badly
wrenched shoulder and elbow
muscles. She was attended by DR.,
T. F.. Cook. An N-ray picture will
be taken to determine whether or
not her shoulder blade is cracked.
Diawczyk was locked up but re-
eased yesterday morning when John
Ilempa furnished bonds of 500.

Pelton, parked at the curb on Gen.

Traffic about the center was eX-
,eptionally heavy yesterday and the
