Tha i had quite a busy session at police court, on Satur. day moming, and jhe he et, in svidwieni 1 * that i Jorge Patrick Keating, when to adswer the charge of k, had little to say, but was the worse of liquor olds, who is employed at Tait's flour and feed store. He knew. Nadon. The was cleaning up when he saw Keating sit. ting on the window of the kitchen of the house next Nadom's playing with a dog. Witness Went inside for a broom and when he came out Keating was down and Nadon standing close by. Thought Keating had struck Nadon. - The latter then got the form- er down and struck him twice in the face with his fist. In answer to Nadon's questions witness stated that the quarrel took place in the back yard "Did you sec Keating hit me? con- tinued the questioner. "Yes, after he got up." « "Pid you "se me coaxing him léave peaceably ?' "He said he wavited to pay for din- ner and you told him to go around the ont, way." "Did you see me kick him? "Noy? hick : To his lordship, witness stated that eating was too drunk to stand. When the police came Nadon got off to the man and went into the house, Policeman Driscoll heard hollering and jumped out through the back window of the police station and ran over to the scene of the row. He sav Nadon kick Keating in the side. Na- on also had Keating's coat half pull- ed off the wearer's shoulder. * Cross-questioned by. defendant, he re-asserted that he kick Keating, "Did_you not hear up, Fl wrong 7' *% had seen Nadon him say, 'Let me apologise; T'm in the asked ° Nadon. Buti the law sorrowfully shook P.C. Mullinger corroborated his brother officer's statemients. Keating was on his hands and knees, with his coat pulled over his head and Nadon kicking him. He overheard talking, but did not know what was said. For the defence May Hammond told the following story : Keating and another man came into her restau- rant, which is next door to Nadon's, and requested dinner. As he was the worse of liquor she asked for payment first. He said he would pay in the kitchen, but witness - gai no, that there was a notice on the door to the effect that no one was alowed to en- ter the kitchen. She requested him to go out several times, and he in- sulted her. He was playing with the dog and she called Nadon to take him out. Nadon did so and then Keating started hollering and acting contrary, Witness saw nothing more, but heard a& man say "I'll apologise." Keating was the worse for drink, Cross-questioned by Nadon, the gwit- Ness stated that she had been sub- jected to bad language and insulted. Her husband being out she called to Nadon, as he was the closest. Keating admitted that he knew little of what happened, and explained that he was on his way to Prescott, where work awaited him, . To the magistrate Nadon pleaded that the affair was not of his making and that he had been dragged into it by others, His worship, however, lost no time in inflicting a fine of $3 and costs or fifteen days, accompanying it with a few remarks. He stated that in view of the manner in which Nadon had come to be in the mix-up, he had made the fine light. However, he took this opportunity to call Nadon's at- tention to the complaints directed of late against his place of business, in- stancing the case of last Saturday night when the music and noise had continued into Sunday morning. Un- less a change was made his license would be revoked, and he could no longer keep a rostaurant in Kingston, As Joseph left the court room, . however, he stated that he hoped he would soon leave the itv, and they would feel it when he did. Ho ought to carry the case higher as he could not expect much in that court. But he got no further in his tirade, "Come back here." cried the magis- trate, "Three dollars and costs or ten days for vontempt of court." con- tinued his worship. And this time Jo- seh walked meekly forth from the Napoleon Newell next answered the call. He was Charged with having on June nd, assaulted and- ill-treated Louise in, He pleaded not Quilty. The first witness called was the com- plainant. The assault took 'place in mnox's saloon, about half past six at night. She happened there because she went for her husband who was | present in the company of Newell and others. Witness tried to get her hus- band out quietly, but he would not come, He had been drinking to excess for over two months, Newell called Witness some dreadful names and she struck him with the en i | pole. Nowell then tried stink from her hand, but being un- able struck her. Tennox ordered her out of the bar and also stick her, Another man coming along in the meanwhile choked her, She had re- neatedly warned Lennox not to ive her husband YVinuor, but he had done so in front of her hal an hour before the assault when he (Rankin). was on verge of delirium tremens.

AE PEELE IIIA 4 persuaded her husband to go home and both went out together. That was all the witness knew of the affair, In reply to questions by the defend- ants as to whether shé had askéd for liquor and used abusive language,' the plaintiff gave an unqualified denial to both charges as applying to any time. In summing up the evidence the mag- istrate stated that it was known that the complaintant's husband had some money and that a gang of men con- tinually hung about him for what they could get and helped make him even mvorse than he was. Newell had been before the court on exactly the same ch before. He was satisfied with the truthfulness of the plaintifi's story and the evidence given by the defense 'was false testimony, as both witness differed in the details of their story. In no fGincertain words his worship depicted the scene as it might have Rappencd and characterized the risoners' stories as a tissue of false- wy He had no doubt as to the truth of the story told by the com- plaintant and he would fine Newell 85 and costs or one month in jail. Time in which to pay the fine was" refused. Asfor Bruce it being the first time he had appeared before 'the tribunal, a lesser penalty was imposed, $3 and costs or fifteen days, The magistrate held that he was a party to the of- fense, As for Bruce it being the first time upon and received a sentencé of $2 and costs or ten .days. The case of Robert Patterson, which had been adjourned from yesterday so as to allow the defendant an oppor- tunity to summons witness, was also taken up. The defendant had none on hand, however, and after lecturing the prisoner severely the cadi bound him over to keep the peace on a bond of Y..W. C. A. AGITATION. Over Tennis Court is Not Yet at An End. The Y. W. C. A, tennis court agita- tion is\not ended by any means. The ladies intend having a meeting for the purpose of again petitioning the city council. They claim to have a genuine grievance in not being awarded the court they claim to be entitled to. They point out that by Ald. Angrove's own admission their claim is justified. The parks' committee = resolved that all applications must be in writing, and courts would be awarded in order of the receipt of these written (not verbal) applications. Their applica- tion, therefore, they claim, comes ahead of any verbal one to the chair- man. Hence they claim that the parks' committee has broken the rule it made in not awarding the associa- tion the court it asked for. It might be asked : Where are the ampions of the Y.W.C.A. ? Why were Alds. Givens and Harkness not at the | parks' committee meeting vesterday af- ternoon and why did Alds, Sears and Mallen vote against the ladies associ- ation? It is understood that Ald. Mallen was pledged to vote for the Y. W.C.AA., and that Ald. Sears had ex- pressed himself that way, but both voted nay. Alds. Meek and Carson alone championed the ladies' cause. © ladies' association will not forget and when an affair called a municipal election comes around next January, they may take a very active part against those who broke a rule laid down by the parks' committen, The officials of the Y. W. C. A. do- sire to say thqt they are unanimous in pressing for what thev consider to ir just rights. None of them in- timated t small for agitation. They are pressing the matter on principle, since the ma- | jority of the. , nittee has seen fit to violate a rule it passed. They want to know if the eity council will allow such a violation. -------------- McLeod's Extract 'Sarsaparilla Compound, purifies « the blood, tones up the system, removes that tired feeling.

(BAD FOR CURZON] WHAS A LATE BLUE BOOK _ DISCLOSES Will Now Have a Free Hand--His Scheme is Based on Considera- tions of Danger From a Rus- sian Attack, London, June 24.--A blue book, which has just been issued, and recent statements in parliament, sh Gen. Lord Kitchener, commander-in- chief of the forces in India, has won in his t for the re-organization of the Indian army, which he waged against. a worn-out system. Tho vice regal council opposed him and the outcome is regarded as being damag- ing to Vieeroy Curzon, E. Roche Elles, a member of the coun- cil, resigned, he considering that the imperial government's support of the eommander-in-chief is equivalent to a censure of himself, Gen. Kitchener now gets a free hand to carry out his schome, which is based on considera tions of danger from a Russian at- tack. His plan involves among other ,changes, an increase of £2,500,000 in the existing expenditure, to £20,500, 000, and the raising of the field arniy from 80,000 to 140,000 men. Gen. Kit- chener's despatches are characterized by sharp criticism. He says the pres ent system is inefficient, being framed mainly to meet peace requirements, while the fact that an army exists for war has been overlooked. The only continuity of policy that has been maintained is that of making it easy to stand still and extremely difficult to move forward. "Nobody," he adds, "dislikes thange more than T do, but if it is necessary I do not fear it. | certainly would not continue a rotten system because I was afraid to stretch out my hand to take a sound one." He concluded by adijudging the Indian administrators to follow the example of Japan, pot Russia. teens . BUTCHER SHOP ROBBED. Eighty ' Pounds of Meat Stolen From James Robbs.
