Hahnen Haled Into Court
Is Accused of Whipping Whole Rubinson Family.
Herme F. Hahnen, chief clerk of the Iowa National bank, is some fighter in the opinion of Harry Rubinson, who lives at 1306 West Fourth street. Rubinson yesterday filed information in Justice Cope's court charging Hahnen with assault and battery. The complainant accuses Hahnen of attacking him and his wife on their front porch last Saturday evening. The alleged altercation resulted from the finding of a little fire shovel by the 5-year-old Rubinson boy. According to the story told by Rubinson, the boy brought the shovel home and said he had found it in Hahnen's yard. "Mrs. Rubinson sent the boy back with the shovel," he said, "and then thought nothing more about the matter until Hahnen came over to our house at about 8:30 o'clock and asked that our child be punished. He said that the boy had stolen the shovel and be spanked for it. I heard the man and my wife in an argument at the door and went out to see what was the trouble. "Hahnen jumped upon me and threw me over the porch railing upon a pile of brick and then he pushed Mrs. Rubinson against a wall, bruising her severely. After that he found our little boy and spanked him and then went home."
