LOCAL AFFAIRS
Charged with Improper Conduct


The boys that had crowded in the Court
House on the night Of the election to witness
the counting Of tickets became SO unruly that
deputy sheriff Fisher had TO clear them from
the room. In doing so the officer tackled
young man by the name of Malolha Ricketts,
10 exclude him. This young man refused to
20, as he said he had done nothing for to be
put out The officer persisted and fight oc-
Cured The excitement spread as the boys
halloocd, Don't go Hit him Knock him
downri with many other indecent exclama-
lions. In an instant Fishers son and Rick
etts' nther-Richard Ricketts-had entered
the battle. A melee seemed imminent but the
more thoughtful and camer gentlemen present
interposed and separated the combatants, with
ont any of them being injured,
The two old gentlemen, fathers of The boys,
COMPROMISED their differences but young
Fisher was bent on having his adversary han
died by the law also Francis Monday whom
lac thought molested him in the melee.
Saturday last was set for the day Of trial Of
these two Young men. The resistance OF an
officer was the charge preferred. Monday was
tried and acquitted of the charge. 1t was the
opinion of the witnesses that he was performing
an act of kindness in endeavorlng 10 separate
the parties instead Of violating the law by re-
sisting an officer. Ricketts, did not put in an
appearance and is reported as gone West.
There is II lesson in this failure to convict
which officers ought 10 learn well. Before
prosecuting they should obtain such proof as
would be likely TO convict, and not attempt to
prosecute innocent people and run the county
10 an useless expense as was done in the case
in question 10 gratifv their spenetic feeling.
