Strinski drew a knife, but that was a spineless weapon when compared Wwith a broom in the hands of a de- termined woman. The broom is| mightier than the sword, Officer A. J. Richardson interrupted Strinski in the nineteenth canto of his diatribe, Judge Meskill imposed a fine of $7 and costs. Fined for Collecting Garbage.
