James H. Nichols of Bonair was
brought before Justice Moon Tuesday,

whereupon the court imposed fine of
$500 and costs which was paid, the
defendant saying afterward in the
presence OF the court and halt dozen
others present that he was sorry he
didn't knock the stuffing out of him.
Mr.. Howard is man about so years
old, has lived in this vicinity twenty
or more years, is not Of quarrelsome
disposition, and this is his first intro
duotion to law suit in any capacity.
