Halstead Receives Tine of $25 and Costs for Striking Frank Battman Saturday. Saturday evening when Judge Wil liam Weber had laid the cares of the police judge's office and doffed the judicial ermine to retire to his home, he received a hurry call to return and open up the Palace of Justice that a dispute among two of our citizens might be settler!. The court found on his arrival that there was a complaint filed by Chief of Police Barclay against B. J. Halstead in which the defendant was charged with fighting and the object of his attack was Frank Batt man. a resident of the south part of the city. From the statements mnde by both Mr. Halstead and Mr. Battman it seems that the affair occurred in the Halstead meat market or South 6th street, and arose in the first place over the question of a claim of the meat market man that he said had not been paid while Mr. Battman contended it had and from the verb al argument the affair merged into active warfare and soon the parties were into it. Mr. Battman received a rather disfigured optic in the me lee and as he is not very active, was the loser of the confer:: The matter was reported to the police, and Chief Barclay took up the case and after hearing the evidenre in court. Judge Weber announced that a fine of $25 and costs would be assessed against Mr. Halstead. The defendant announced that he desired to appeal the case to the dis trict court and bond was fixed in the sum of $50 for the appeal, and. owing to the lateness of the hour, Mr. Halstead was given until this morning to produce the fine or the amount of the appeal in the case.

It was quite dark along the roadway and Mr. Mendenhall states that he was unable to see far en ough in advance to glimpse the turn in the road and when he saw it, it was too late to make it, and as a consequence the car went into the ditch. The driver says that the weeds are quite high there and more or less dust flying prevented him from see ing the turn in time. As the car struck the ditch it turn ed over on. one side and Mr. Soen nichsen was pitched out of the car, over the steering wheel and Mr. Men denhall, with whom he was riding, and as he was thrown he lit on a barbed wire fence inflicting a num ber of painful cuts and injuries and alighting on his face on the ground was quite badly bruised and skinned up. He had several cuts on his legs from cither the wire or pieces of the broken windshield, that necessitated the services of a physician to dress. Edward Donat and Carl Ofe were seated in the rear of the truck and were not seriously injured beyond being bruised up some and as was al so Mr. Mendenhall. The injured man was brought in by other amoi.sts returning from Om aha and taken to his home where he is bein:,' cared for. The truck was brought in later and found to be more or less battered up with two wheels broken and other damages including the broken windshield. This accident was the only dis agreeable feature of the trip to Om aha and while serious enough it is fortunate that no one was injured fatally. LEAVE FOB SIOUX CITY rom Monday's DaJlv H. H.
