Dr. H.P. Bowman, physician resident of 208 East Bessemer Avenue, was fined $250 in the city court on Tuesday morning for assault on his wife one night a week ago.

Testimony was to the effect that Dr. Bowman had very cruelly beaten his wife. She said that he had beaten her with his fists, had choked her and had hit her with a plate and with a bottle. Mrs. Bowman screamed out at the time and a large number of people of the neighborhood went to the front lawn of the house and were present when Dr. Bowman came out and when his wife came out later and went to the police station where the complaint was made and a warrant secured by her.
