St. Joseph Traveler
Wednesday, 6 April 1859

         Criminal Matters. - ELLEN DALY, of Pipestone,
       was arrested on the 2d inst., by A. M. VANDERBEEK,
       Constable, and brought before J. W. BREWER, Esq.,
       of St. Joseph, charged with having, on the 31st
       day of March last, committed an assault upon the
       person of MARY BARNS. She went to Mrs. BARNES for
       some flour that the latter had borrowed of her
       some time previous. Mrs. BARNES informed her that
       she had no flour that she could spare then, but
       that the coming week she should be repaid. At
       this Mrs. DALY got enraged, and flew at Mrs.
       BARNES and struck her on the right side of the
       head with a tin pan, starting the claret pretty
       freely. The frightened woman recovering from the
       blow, picked up a chair and held it between her-
       self and her assailant, as a means of defense,
       until the latter got tired and left. Marks of
       violence were plainly visible on the side of
       Mrs. BARNES face, but nothing serious. ELLEN
       DALY was fined nine dollars and fifty cents,
       with costs of suit, and refusing to pay the
       amount, was sent to Berrien jail. She had an
       infant child with her.
