The Case Is Settled, But Who Did The Cutting? It was a hair between the hawk and the buzzard and the buck was passed freely around when Will Maneese, 39, 921 W. Madison Street and Lucy Hill, 31, 924 W. Madison Street, were arraigned in Police Court this week on charges of malicious cutting and disorderly conduct respectively. It developed from the evidence that moonshine was flowing plentifully at the home of Manese, where Lucy Hill was a participant. When she became disorderly Maneese attempted to eject her from the premises. Upon her return she forced her way back into the house and Manese and two other women who were present, sustained knife wounds, before Lucy Hill could be prevailed upon to withdraw. When finally she did run from the Maneese house with blood streaming from a knife would in her hand, she ran into Officers Jaehingin, Gray and Kennedy, with Maneese following in hot pursuit, knife in his hand. They accused each other of doing all the cutting. Lucy Hill was fined $25.00 and Maneese $10.00 with his charge amended to disorderly conduct.

Mother Prostrated But for his young wife, Ella, only 31, the sudden death of Charles Sylvester Morton, brought a very deep seated grief..It was his pay day, and she expected him home soon with his check for his services as potter for Levy Brothers, clothiers and furnishers, Third and Market street, where he had been employed only a few weeks.
