who was tried by jury In Justice i. a. +
LaGrass' court, found guilty and hned /
S. and costs, but was permitted by
Prosecuting Attorney Collet to work /
out his fine and costs on the streets
of Salisbury, the authorities agreeing T
to pay his board while doing so, was i
brought over last Tuesday by City 1
Marshal Gilchrist OF Salisbury, turned I
over to Sheriff Dempsey and lodged
in jail, the legalIquestion having arisen +
as to whether the state could be
bound for the costs in the case
against Henry Henderson, in default
of payment of his fine and costs, un-
less he was sent to Jail. 1t would be
relief to the tax payers if all villages,
towns and cities that contain within
their corporate limits such characters
as Henderson would pay their board
while they were working out an IN
paid fine and costs but the laws of the
great state of Missouri,provide that
those of Henderson's ilk, when caught
in legal meshes without sufficlency
of cash or its equivalent on hand 10
liquidate, must be committed to.
iail, hence Henderson has taken quar-
ters at the county hostile until he Is
discharged by due process of law.
