For more than a year, there was a controversy raging in and around Salem Baptist Church, at 30th and La Salle streets. It was before Judge Ryner until on court days there was no room in the corridors for anybody except the warring members. The decision of the court did not stop the warriors from keeping hatchets in their sleeve instead of burying them, and the result was a recent battle in which one man had a rifle and a dozen rounds of cartridges and three others had one-hand-guns, and Judge Bugee was called upon to encourage these people to call their dogs off.
He fined the gun toters $200 each while the lady with the knife got off at $100 and costs.
The controversy is over the question of whether it should be one preacher or the other. Neither one seems able to keep the peace among his followers.
