The Southern Indiana newspaper that gives Hanly credit for being a modern Sampson was not quite fair to Sampson. Sampson only had one jaw bone of an ass with which to slay the Philistines, while the Indiana Sampson used two in his slaughtering y>f |he innocents. Columbia City Post.

STRUCKHIS SISTER Martin Burkhead was Fined 1 and Costs for Assault on Mrs. Everett HAD A HEARING This Afternoon—Plead Not Guilty—His Trunk Thrown from House

When Michael Everett was released from jail after serving several months for assault upon the person of Julius Haugk and repaired to the home of his better half, he had a third person to deal with and no little trouble was experienced before Burkhead, brother of the woman, was forced to submit to the renewal of the family ties. For some time young Burkhead has made his home with his sister, paying his board as another would do. He was bitterly opposed to his sister becoming affiliated with her husband after his release, and last evening when she reiterated that that was her intention he threw her to the floor and Tnado Ihe air fairly blue by language unbecoming to a gentleman. Mrs. Everett then, after placing the young man’s belongings out of the house, filed an affidavit against him, charging assault and Officer Bohnke arrested him. He furnished bond and w’as released. BBurkhead was given a hearing before Mayor France this afternoon and plead not guilty to the charge. A trial ensued, J. C. Moran representing the defendant. The nature of the evidence warranted a conviction and the defendant was promptly fined.
