POLICE COURT.

Mrs. Rube Shafer last Saturday was brought before Mayor Manning on a charge of being immoral. She plead guilty and was fined $5, the sentence being suspended on condition she leave town permanently. The Mayor seted for the best, as it is horrible to place a woman in jail, and it is better to permit her to leave town, and reform if she will.

Drinking to excess is the besetting sin of Walter Jennings. Saturday night whiskey got him down, but night policeman Cox got him up—in jail. Monday Mayor Manning fined him $5—While hunting for some one to stay his fine Walter suddenly started out on a Maud S gait. Neither the Marshal or police were silly enough to even try to recapture him, and is hoped that this experience will make him a wiser and better man in his new location.

Last Monday Julius Peelman filed an affidavit with Mayor Manning, acting as a Justice of the Peace, charging William Peelman with shooting with intent. Last Monday William and Julius exchanged four shots, but neither were hit. William is his uncle, Julius being his tenant. All reside in Craig Township. It is a family feud, growing out business of disputes. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney George S. Pleasants appeared for the State. The case was continued until next Monday.
