Judge Williams Had the Bicycle Gases
Undor Considerasion.
In police court yesterday morning
several cases Of bicycle riding without
lamp were before his honor. Two
cases, one lady and the other . gen :
tleman, were summoned for violstinp
this "recen" ordinance before Il was
IL was not dark by any means. The
general excuse for violation of the ordi-
nance WAS Ignorance OF the law, but IA
the judge remarked, "That excuses NO
one." This ordinance requires the I'M.
position OF fine Of from 81 to S5. And
although the Judge has the m after under
consideration, there seems that Shere A
no way OF compromising the matter.
This ordinance will undoubtedly work
. great hardship on the average Wheels
man, with but little likelihood Of great
benehs being derived by the people of
the city.
Yancey Carter was fined $40 and coats
for she larceny OK IS from james Crews.
fellow lsborer.
Geo. w. Bowling, charged with re-.
failing liquor without . license, WAS
fined Us for the city and $50 for the
State. II seems that he was sellino
whiskey at the old Jamison distillery
by the gallon under what Is known as
Jug license. His ATTORNEYS took the
ground that the State law gave him the
privilege of elling al the place of
manufacture all whiskey which wss
distilled under q lawfully obtained II.
cense, even II II required ten years in
which to sell IL without tho imposition
OF license tax for the privilege. The
Judge chose to decide otherwise, and
stated that great deal of trouble had
arisen over the unlswful sale of LIQUOR
at the place named and that he would
assess fine for the city for every dsy
the place Is kept open. The case will
be tested In higher court, as IL in
wolves some technical points of law. In
the meantime Bowling gave bond in
the sum of S125.
The case of Frank Easter and Hamp-
ton Agee charged with throwing pote-
toes and apples ct old man Settle, who
was intoxicated, WAS postponed until
Monday morning.
Joe Slaughter and Levi Garter, two
dusky sons OF Africa, were charged with
fighting. The former was hned IS and
the latter dismissed.
Paul Vanilla was committed to Jail on
several old charges, the fines Of which
had not been paid.
George w. Steele, charged with as.
saulting young white man with rocks,
WAS before his honor but the case was
postponed for the want of witnesses.
John Normsn and Mary Fulton,
charged with unlawfully living together,
were fined SIS each, but owing to the fact
that they agreed to have the nuptial
knot tied the fine will probably be sus-
pended.
Thomas Irish WAS fined SIS for being
drunk and disorderly and Jerry Morton,
