COMMISSIONER
HAS BUSK DAY
MEDINI HELD TO GRAND Jl!RY.
Man Charged with Shooting with In
tent to Kill—Northland Is Fined
for Assault—Hennessy Charged
y
with Assault.
The Commissioner’s Court was a
busy place today, three cases having
come up for hearing before Judge
Love.
This morning Charles Northland
was brought before the court on a
charge of assault and battery on the
complaint of Fortuni Medini. The de
fendant admitted his guilt and was
fined $50 and costs.
Following this case Medini was
given a preliminary hearing on the
charge with shooting with injent to,
1:111, the complaining witness being
Charles Northland. The court found
lhe testimony warranted holding the
prisoner to the grand jury and so or
dered.
These cases grew out of the shoot
ing affray at Latouche Island about
I wo weeks ago, in which Northland
was shot twice through the left breast
by Medini.
The third case brought before the
court was heard this afternoon, the
prisoner being ,J. C. Hennessy, who is
charged with assault against Rose
Rowland. This case grows out of a
quarrel over the ownership of a ship
ment of 180 barrels of salted her
ting shipped south on the Alaska yes
terday by Henry Rowland of Knik
luk. Hennessy claims a half-interest
in the fish, and it is charged that dur
ing a quarrel over the ownership yes
terday, on the wharf, Rose Rowland,
a daughter of the shipper, was injur
ed, the stories as to how the injury
occurred varying somewhat.
