ALLEGED FRAUD

Charles Young a Defendant in a Municipal Court Suit

Charles YOUNG, the saloon negotiator and real estate dealer is once more a
defendant in a suit. This time the action is brought by Cyrus C. ROOT and is
on trial before Judge WARNER in the Municipal Court. The plaintiff sues to
recover $25 which he alleges he paid to YOUNG when the latter agreed to sell
him the fixtures in a saloon.

The plaintiff in his affidavit states that about the 18th of May last YOUNG
entered an agreement with him, by which the defendant was to sell to the
plaintiff the saloon, fixtures and furniture in the store at 261 North
Clinton street for the sum of $650, $25 to be paid on the 18th of May, $25
more to be paid on the 23d of May, at which time YOUNG was to give ROOT a
bill of sale of the property and take a chattel mortgage as security for the
payment of the balance. The plaintiff further alleges that on the 18th day of
May he paid YOUNG $25 and the following day paid $25 more.

The defendant then, the plaintiff alleges, sold the property to two persons,
the names of whom the plaintiff does not know. The plaintiff, further alleges
that the two persons took possession of the saloon on the 23d of May. The
defendant, the affidavit states, did not enter into the agreement in good
faith and so far as the defendant was concerned was only a pretended
agreement and a subterfuge by which YOUNG procured from ROOT the $25 which he
wrongfully converted to his own use.

The plaintiff therefore demands a judgment against YOUNG for the sum of $25.
D. W. FORSYTH is plaintiff's attorney and YOUNG is represented by Patrick
McINTYRE. YOUNG'S wife sat beside him during the trial to-day and appeared to
be much interested in the proceedings.

THE SACQUE WAS TOO LONG

A Dispute Which Ended in an Alleged Assault

Joseph KUHMAN, an able-bodied teamster, was arraigned in the Police Court
this morning on a charge of assaulting Hattie ATKINSON. The latter stated
that a few days ago she went to the home of KUHMAN to collect from his mother
90 cents for making a sacque. There was a dispute as to how the sacque had
been made, and the complainant alleges that the prisoner struck her a blow on
the left hand. She had the hand done up in bandages and said she had suffered
considerable pain since she received the injury.

KUHMAN said he objected to his mother paying for the sacque, because it was
not properly made. In fact, he said, it was not a sacque but was an overcoat,
and it was so long that it extended to the bottom of the mother's feet. He
did not strike the complainant, he said, but she attempted to strike him with
a broomstick and he ejected her from the house.
The judge arrived at the conclusion that there was not much to the case
anyway, and discharged KUHMAN.

MINOR POLICE MATTERS

James VANDELINDE, charged with non-support, was discharged this morning, the
complainant not appearing.

Henry MORRILL, who is thought to be insane, was sent to jail.

The case of Kate DORKEL, accused of stealing $250 from Frank ARCOR, which was
to have come up this morning, was adjourned to the 26th at the request of
Norris BULL, defendant's attorney.

The examination of George OWENS and George BLACKFORD, the flimflammers,
charged with attempting petit larceny and also with having in their
possession gambling implements was adjourned till Friday.

William ECKLER was fined $10 or twenty days for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. ECKLER resisted Officer LUSCHER, who made the arrest and the officer
was obliged to tap him on the head with his club. As a consequence ECKLER'S
shirt bosom was covered with blood when he was arraigned. Major SPAHN
appeared for the prisoner, but as ECKLER has been there many times before,
the attorney's plea had very little effect on the court.
