Vincent Hcdas Used a . File on the
Head of Michael Rites—Some
other Cases.
The'South Norwalk side of the town
court was a busy place this morning
and Judge Joseph R. Taylor passed
upon quite a number of cases. The
most interesting one of the batch was
the case of Vincent Modal, charged
with breach of peace and assault on
Michael Ritso.
it came out in the evidence that
the fight in which Ritso was wotL
sted. was over a girl who lives at is
Bouton street. and that Hot!!! and Rit-
so are both her suitors. Ritso's star
seemed to be in the sscendfint and he
was twitting Hodas about the girl hav-
ing "chased him away." This was
more than Hodas could stand, so he
drew from his pocket a heavy tron file
and struck Ritso on the side of the
head. Ritso was dared and when he
came to his senses Hodaa had dbpart-
ed. Quite a severe cut was sustained
Court interpreter Gonal officiated at
the trial and Judge Taylor found Hodas
guilty and fined him 87 and costs. He
paid up.
Michael Polinkosh was charged with
an assault on a Swede in John Red-
way's Springwood saloon. Pollnkosh
and his brother were in the saloon
" having a glass of beer " when the
Swede used uncomplimentary langu-
age to one of the Pollnkoshes. The
other one. Mike seized a billiard one
and felled the Swede. The assault was
unprovoked and Judge Taylor fined
Polinkosh 87 and costs. which he paid
The case against Lewis Suydam was
hailed. He was charged with the theft
of pair of spectacles. The owner of
the spectacles however did not care
to press the charge. and the case was
accordingly dropped.
John Erickson. who rookies in Mon-
roe street was arrested yesterday of
tornoon. on complaint of his soil, who
said that John was raising a. disturb-
ance at his home which was rather
more than'they could stand. Judge

The steamer Eagle, of the Norwalk
Steamboat Company's line, is lying at
the bottom of Norwalk harbor, and di-
rectly in the channel opened up
through the ice by the pamge of ves-
sels in the past few days.
The Eagle was enroute from New
York city to Scum Norwalk. Saturdayo
night. and as the Ice was so thick and
treacherous in the harbor. that It was
impossible to proceed further. and Cap-
tain Robert M. usher lleclded that it
would be beat to lay in the channel of

foot of Burritt avenue. until daybreak
The crew. with the exception of the
watch, then retired for the night.
About ll o'clock yesterday morning the
steamer began to fill with water, and In
about five minutes had gone to the bot-
tom of the harbor. rbrtunately the
watcr was low. and the vessel was not
entirely submerged.
The otllcers and crew were immedi-
ately aroused. and they made good

ed the steamer. The lce to over a foot

of the crew, as well as the hundreds of

of the wreck. Many of these visitors
had cameras. and took a view of the
steamer as she lay partly submerged

An examination made of the steam-
cr‘s hull has failed to reveal any hole.
and It is supposed that the seams open-
ed on account of the action of the ice.
and that this allowed the vessel to fill.
