Five Years IN Marquette.

Marion Fortress was convicted on Satur-
day in the Circuit Court of keeping house
of Ill fame and on Monday was sentenced to
the states prison at Marquette for term of
five years. Nellie Davis was also convicted,
but was given but six months in the Detroit
workhouse. These people were arrested
some time ago, at house on Detroit street,
in this city, late one night while fight and
general row was going on. The accused
were defended by Jonathan Knight upon
appointment of the Judge. Practically no
defense was made, Fortress simply attempt
ing to prove that he owned and ran the
house, and that Nellie Davis was only a
hired girl. When drunk she had claimed to
be proprietor. The jury were out but a
short time, finding both equally guilty.
Both were much surprised at their sentences
but the people weresof the belief that the
judge would mete out to them proper
punishment and he did so.
Lottie Kell0g, who has run house of
questionable character between Owosso and
Corunna more or less of the time for four
years, was also found guilty and paid fine
of $50 agreeing to sell her property and
leave the county and not return.

FINES AND SUSPENSIONS.
The Goldstein Ledbeter Row Resulted
Badly for All Concerned.

Badly tor All Concerned.
Agent Gwin of the American Express Co.
has been suspended, Thomas Ledbeter,
driver, has been laid off and paid fine of
$50 and costs, and B. Goldstein has been
badly thrashed and paid fine of $40 and
SIT costs, as the result of the reckless ap-
plying of vile names by Goldstein to Led
better 1t seems to The TIMES that 1t is
rather hard on Gwin and Ledbeter that this
contemplate ignoramus should be able to
cause them so much trouble, and we believe
both will be reinstated. Petitions now cir
culating have been signed by practically all
of the larger patrons of the Office and should
have great deal of weight with the super
intendent.
Goldstein refused to take G. o. ID. pack
ting notice that the goods need not be paid
for. When Ledbeter went to collect the
charges he was insulted by Goldstein. Not
wishing to have trouble while on duty he
waited until evening and meeting Goldstein
on the street knocked him down and kicked
him, for which he paid fine of $40. Later
when Ledbeter started into Goldstein's with
another package he was attacked by the
latter and his arm badly injured. Goldstein
was arrested and Tuesday was tried before
a jury consisting of T.. A. Todd, Jacob
Lewis, Fred Zimmerman, Moses Mix, Chas.
Cherry and Freeman She!don; found
guilty of assault, paying fine of $40 and
SIT costs. Goldstein claimed that he simply
bOIted the door and hollered murder" and
other similar exclamations, but the mark on
Ledbeter's arm and the testimony OF busi-
ness men on both sides proved otherwise.

A WILLIAM PUNISHED.
Charles Dolph Will Serve Twenty Years

For Rape.
Friday evening about six o'clock Charles
Dolph, who lived near the water works,
ravished his IL year old step-daughter,
Emma Schneeberger. In less than a half
hour he was placed under arrest and i'm
mediately thereafter was brought before
Justice Byerly who set Monday at 10 o'clock
for an examination. Monday he was ex-
amined and bound over for trial in the cir
cult court in bonds of $4,000. He was
brought before Judge Montague pleading not
guilty, the Judge appointing T. j. Horsman
to defend him. Later he changed his plea
to guilty and on Tuesday morning he was
sentenced to twenty years at hard labor In
states prison.
The testimony showed that Dolph at
tempted to rape the girl but was prevented
by the mother and then during her absence
he had succeeded. She left to find an
officer and Geo. Robson went back to the
house with her when Dolph attempted to
escape but was caught near the river and
