Roselawn Women Fined for Assault on Mrs. Gundy.

Kentland Enterprise. Mrs. Delphia Steele, her daughter. Mrs. Mary Nevitt, and Mrs. Mabel Fuller, of Roselawn, were convicted in the circuit court Tuesday of assault and battery, and each fined. Mrs. Steele, who seemed to lead the assault, was fined SSO, Mrs. Nevitt $5 and Mrs. Fuller sl. The prosecuting witness was Mrs. Reuben Gundy, wife of the trustee of Lincoln township. About a month ago the three women named in the complaint met Mrs. Gundy at an alley crossing in Roselawn and proceeded to club her in an unmerciful manner, according to the testimony introduced. The trouble seems to have grown out of the recent saloon fight in that township, but it is alleged that there was other trouble not mentioned In the complaint or. brought out In the trial. Prosecutor Longwell was assisted by Abraham Halleck, of Rensselaer, and the trla of assaultees were defended by E. P. Honan, of Rensselaer. Mr. Honan on cross examination got some sharp replies from some of the women witnesses who objected to answering ■ question more than a dozen times, and who resented his Inquisitiveness. The judgment and $114.75 costs in the case were staid for ninety days. The case was heard before a jury and special Judge Darroch, who occupied the bench for Judge Hanley on Monday and Tuesday.
