ALL APPEAR IN COURT
Misses Vibberts Say Harry Sherman Demanding Payment of Old Bill, Attacked Them When They Seized Clothes in Showcase.

For about an hour, Judge W. c. Hungerford in police court this morning, listened to a graphic description of a fracas in the Star Cleaning Co. at 221 North street, precipitated about o'clock last night when Misses Helen and Betty Vibberts of 1145 Stanley street at tempted to take two dresses out of a case against the wishes of Harry sherman, aged 26, of 1106 Stanley street, proprietor of the place. Miss Betty Vibberts became slightly hysterical on the witness stand at the conclusion of cross examination by Attorney Albert A. Greenberg, rep resenting Sherman, but regained her composure in a few minutes, after she had been assisted from the stand and taken into the judges chambers.
 Sherman. charged with breach of the peace and assault, was find s10 and costs, Judge Hungerford taking the view that he had attempted to hold the dresses as a lever with which to force payment of an old bill against the Vibberts family. Jo- seph Urbanski, aged 21, of 201 North street, who was also charged with breach of the peace and assaulting sherman, was discharged on recom- mendation of Prosecuting Attorney Woods, the testimony indicating that he had gone into the store on hear ing shouts for help, and although he used Sherman roughly, his sole con- nection with the fracas was his at tempt to pull the latter, away from the young women.
 Demanded Payment of Bill
 Misses Vibberts testified that they and their sister, Mrs. Muriel Camp bell of West Haven. went to the store about 7:30 o'clock to get the dresses, which had been put in for cleaning few days before Christ mas. Sherman said he would give the dresses to them if the entire charge against the family was paid.

is better assured where there are
many people, than in remote fast
nesses, where only the solitary
trapper penetrates. A colony of
beaver have placed a dam across
the brook which leads from Little
Oxide Lake, just west of Pengilly,
and near the paved highway. The
water in the lakes has already
been raised a foot or more, and
the beaver find homes in the banks
of the lake. The dam is so close
to the paved highway where thous-

that stone can be tossed to it.
The beaver are seldom seen, ex-

traces of their work may be ex-
amined on the bank, where they
are cutting poplar trees in order
to feed on the bark. Poplar is the
