ALDERMAN MILLAR PROTESTS.
Does Not M aat Aldcrninn Donovau to
Do llusinesM in Kiglith Ward
Alderman Millar has decided to apply
to the courts for un injunction to re
strain Alderman Donovan, of the
Twelfth ward, from dolus aldernianic
business in the Klghth. Mr. Donovan
has his law olllc-e on the second door
of the Republican building, ami Mr.
Millar claims to lie in possession of in
formation that the magistrate of the
Twelfth Issues warrants and sum
monses from his law otllce anil there
sits In Judgment In these cases; that
he carries a seal In his pocket fur this
purpose.
Mr. Donovan has his nldermanlc of
fice at his residence on Prospect ave
nue, near the corner of Hanilock street,
but Mr. Millar xays that lie has evi
dence that he mukes a good many
cases returnable at his law oltlce to
suit the convenience of parties who
cannot easily go to the South Side.
Inasmuch as the courts ruled that
Mr. Millar or any other alderman ex
cept In the Ninth. Alderman Wright,
could not hold police court, Mr. Millar
thinks that no other alderman ought
to be allowed to transuct business in
his Jurisdiction. John F. Scrags Is
attorney for Mr. Millar and will file a
bill of equity some day this week.

LLOYD STREET SLAVS ON TRIAL

All of the afternoon of yesterday In
criminal court was taken up with the
trial of six assault and battery cases
growing out of a quarrel among the
Slavs of Lloyd street. The defendants
were Powell Dominsky, Harney Kan
sky. Adam Yonolauis, Joseph Yono
lonls, Michael Libanot and Powell
Yalemau. Joseph Rihiscli and his
wife, othclia, were the accusers. Mr.
Super and Mr. Harris represented the
defense.
The trouble occurred between 9 and
10 o'clock on the evening of Oct. 6 last.
The I lomlnsky's tenant one side of
ltlblsch's double hoime. They never
pot along- well together, and on the
night in question, the prosecution al
leges, some of the pmnlnsky's threw
a bucket of slops on Mrs. Kiblsch
through an opening In the basement
partition. Rlbisi h went next door to
demand an explanation and was sit
upon by Dominsky and badly beaten.
The noise of the altercation attracted
a crowd of the neighbors, who. It ap
pears, were all unfriendly to Kiblsch.
They secured a clothes line and tied
Ribl.-cli hand and foot and after beat
luff him unmercifully Ml him bleed
ing n'tul Insensible on the ground. Mrs.
Kiblsch, who interfered to save her
husband, was also roughly handled.
STORY V THU IiEFKNSK.
The story of the defense was that
Kiblsch came to Dominsky's house nnd
with a drawn knife in his hand, de
manded his rent. Dominsky and his
wife were In bed and refused to gi t up
to give him the money. Thereupon,
Kiblsch searched Dominsky's pants
pockets and was In the act of making
oil' with his pocketbook when he in
terposed an objection and ordered Ki
blsch to leave the house. Kiblsch
turned on him, and in defense of him
self and wile he ejected the intruder.
The other defendants were Inactive and
disinterested spectators.
All of the dozen or so witnesses on
either side had to be examined through
an Interpreter. This fact, coupled
with the confusion of names and the
conllict of testimony, made It virtually
impossible fur a jury to urrive at a
Just ci inclusion, except by chance or
accident. The likelihood Is Hint "not
guilty, divide the costs" will be the
Hinting returned this morning, when
the Jury reports.
William Krennan. a prospector und
driller of Creep drove, admitted In
court yesterday that lie threw Alonzo
lioyle out of a wagon, hit him in tic
neck with a neck-yoke and felled him
by a blow over the head with the butt
end of a musket, laying him up In the
hospital for two, weeks or more, and
yet was acquitted of me charge of us
snult and battery.
AlH'OliDl.V TO IlOYLK.
According to llole, all this was done
without provocation, but Ureiinau's
story convinced the Jury otherwise.
Mr. Kreiinnn related that Huyle was
employed as a laborem Mrs. Muyle's
farm near Oreen drove, over which
Hrennan, who is the owner's son-in-law,
has supervision. July 25 last
I.oyle returned from Seranton with a
team which had been roughly driven
and attempted to water them while
they were in an overheated condition.
Hivntiaii remonstrated with him, but
lioyle, who was Intoxicated, told Hren
nati to mind his own business.
Krennan turned the horses away
from the watering trough, lioyle
turned them. back. Hrennan turned
them away again, but Hoyle stubborn
ly headed them towards the trough
again. Then Hrennan jumped on the
wagon and threw Hoyle off. Hoyle
seized the whip and was about to be
labor lireiinan with it, when Hie latter
rushed to the barn fur protection.
ISefore he could close the door Hoyle
reached the barn and again raised the
whip, when Krennan seized a neck
yoke and hit Hoyle in the neck. Hoyie,
who was prov d by witness to have
been a prise tighter and all around
"good man" in his early days, was not
even dazed by the blow and when
Hrennan retreated to the house he gave
chase, currying the neck-yoke with
which he had been struck.
KRENNAN KAN.
Krennan, in terror, ran tlirourrh the
house, upstairs and downstairs, fol
lowed by the enraged lioyle. Finally,
In desperation, Hrennan seized a gun
and stood his ground. lioyle. came
along like a mad man, the neck-yoke
raised aloft. The men met and lioyle
went down from a blow on the head
with tin? butt of the gmi. Krennan
picked him 1111 and secured medical at
tendance and had him cared for and
nursed until he was able to leave the
house, The Jury, after being out only
a short time, returned a veidict of not
guilty nnd placed the costs ou the
prosecutor.
Andrew Harum was called to nnswer
the charge of malicious mischief pre
ferred by John Jezcrski. He entered
the plea of. former acquittal and when
it was shown th.it he was tried and
found not jruilty of the same charge
lasl week, when Michael Olozynskl w-s
the prosecutor, court directed a verdict
in favor of the defendant The costs,
as in the case last week, were placed
on the prosecutor. Mis wife, Annie
Hnrwin, was charged by John derlska
with li'dng implicated in the same of
fense, which was breaking windows in
derlska's house; but she. too, was ac
quitted and the accuser called upon to
pay the costs. Mr. diver represented
the defense.
The case of false pretenses preferred
by J. I). Lloyd against Theodore C
Kurger, was settled upon the defend
ant paying the costs.
A verdict of not guilty was returned
