Cundall on the West Side Wednesday morning. The prisoners pleaded guilty to breach of the peace and paid the fines and costs assessed against them. Warrants for their arrest had been issued by Grand Juror W. E. Keach after he had hearl of their share in a row at a Polish christening. One batch that took part in the altercation had been arrested d fined Monday, and this faction would not be satisfied until the other bunch had been haled before the court and given like treatment. It is said that a dispute about the war started the row. A peculiar thing about the whole affair, however, was that there dldn’t appear to be any great ani- mosity on either side over the fracas, those who had been fined merely de- siring that the other crowd should likewise be separated from some of their money for the part they had taken in the affair.
