house case


Other Locality.
Things were real out of the ordinary
over in Court Tuesday. Judge Hoag-
land listened to the various cases. and
then he gave lot OF people the privilege
OF moving out ofthe county permanently,
or take dose of imprisonment.
The Turner and Dolan families made
the troubles. They refused to plead
guilty to living disorderly, although
when they came to testify, they agreed
with all their neighbors that they were
warm stuff, and could swear, make stiff
noises, have plenty of disreputable COM
pany and drink quantities of beer.
The Turner crowd were the old lady,
Rebecca, and two daughters, Tillie and
Mary. Tillie was the infant who made
most of the trouble. She wanted to run
out nights all the time and the old lady
objected. Then would follow "cussing
match," and the neighbors got the full
benefit. The old lady could do clean
piece of tongue lashing, so the witnesses
said. and the Turner girls admitted that
the mother was far from being an angel.
The old lady said she was a hard work
ing woman, and her daughters were not
all that might be expected, and some
times she did have to scold little, but
she did not want to disturb any body.
Tillie declared, while tears trickled down
her cheeks, that she sometimes disobeyed
her mamma, and mamma would call her
down with a few swear words.
The Dolan family have been there be-
fore. Annie is the mother She is sad
faced woman, and can cry without the
least effort. Fannie is the eldest daugh-
ter, and she has made lots of trouble for
the authorities. She has a mind of her
own, and she can generally express it.
Ada is less than sixteen and quite
comely girl. The trial made ones heart
sick to think that one so young and
pretty could be dragged down so low and
right under the very eyes of mother
who made no effort to stop the downfall.
The evidence was plain that the Dolan
family received all sorts of visitors, at all
times of the day and night. 1t was
shown thatyoung men came there, bring
ing beer, and the entire crowd would pro-
&C ed to have jolly time. Cursings, loud
talk, and actions disgusting, were the
rule.
Judge Hoagland was but moment in
deciding that the entire Dolan and Tur-
ner outfits were guilty. He thought that
he might be doing the county a good
turn if he could get the whole pack out
of the county. So, with the exception of
little Ada, he said that he would suspend
sentence for thirty days, on the condition
that the crowd would leave the county
permanently. If any of them came back
he promised to bring them before the
Court, and punish them severely.
Ada, the Court said, should be sent to
the Industrial School. Then there were
sobs. The little girl became hysterical.
She cried out that she did not want to go
there. She appealed to Sheriff Cheesman
to save her, and pleaded with the Court
that she be allowed to stay with her
mother, but the Court would not change
its decision.
Emma Porch, of Millville, was sen.
fenced to six months in the County Jail,
for keeping disorderly house.
Richard Skinner got three months for
stealing $50 from his brother.
Court then adjourned.
