MAYORS COURT.

"Bloody" Tatem was found on Satur
day night suffering under the burden of
too much intoxicating drink and was
given S. and costs.
Charlie Orr, who has given the author.
tiles more trouble than any other two
men in Hillsboro almost ever since he
has been old enough to be troublesome,
was given dose of Davis Pain Killer
on Saturday, which will prevent further
difficulty for while at least. Orr
thought he was getting an overdose but
DR.. Davis knew his business and pre-
scribed the proper quantity. Orr was
charged with drunkenness and disorder
ly conduct and was fined $50, the costs
and sent to the Cincinnati works for
one year, alias 1856 days. 5 hours, 4s
minutes and 48 seconds.
Charlie Hughes, whose only ambition
is to be sent to Jail or the work house,
was victim of his own ambition on
Saturday, when he was fined $50 and
given 80 days for disorderlv conduct.
Isaac Burns, a big, burly negro from
near Samantha, was before his Honor
on Friday on the charge of assault and
battery. Burns has been very attentive
to Ollie Num-, a pretty white girl about
seventeen years of age, and the girls
people objected. Her grandmother was
particularly opposed to the negro and
aroused Burns anger. Consequently
when Burns stopped before the Num-
residence one day last week to talk with
the girl, fracas ensued in which he is
alleged to have used violence towards
the grandmother. The testimony re.
vealed state of affairs which is almost
incredible. The girl unblushingly con-
fessed her affections for the negro and
thought more of him than she did of her
father, mother or any other relative.
Mayor Davis bound Burns over to Court
in the sum of $500.
VIM. Readner, negro from Leesburg,
was arrested on Sunday at the camp
meeting grounds and turned over to the
officers to be locked up. A colored
woman named Kilgore charged that he
had had keg of beer on the grounds
during the day and had been doing a
wholesale and retail liquor business on
his own hook and that she had bought
from him. The Kilgore woman was not
to be found when the case came to trial
on Monday morning and it was discov.
cred that she had been shipped out of
town. There were any number of per.
sons who drank from the keg but none
of them would swear that they bought
it, so that no case could be made out.
Readner, however, was given So and
costs for drunkenness. The treatment
accorded him "riled him sidable" and
to get even with some one he gave away
the place where the keg was bought end
filed an affidavit against Fred and Chas
Schermer, of the National House, charg
ing them with keeping open on Sunday
They we're both arrested on Tuesday
evening and their hearing set for Wed
nesday.
The case of the State vs.. Mary Spring
er was in the Mayors court all day
. Monday and Tuesday. Miss Springer
who lives few miles east of town, wa
arrested on complaint OF Miss Id
Hatcher for tearing down fence on he
property. The case has attracted
great deal of interest among the neigh
bors of the parties concerned, as Mis-
Springer has been in difficulty with AM
annoyed by petty offenses nearly ever
one in the vicinity. Mayor Davis re
served his decision in the case unit
o next Tuesday.
