Jail.
Sentence Of Offending
Soldier Suspended.
A Wedding and Other Social
and Personal Items.

The municipal court was in session
some little time yesterday, and Judge
Hartford disposed of two cases. William
Hatch, who was arrested 10y Officer Bur-
CESS in Ligonia, was arraigned for vaga-
bondage and told the judge that his home
was in Montpelier, Vermont; that of
lat lie hal been working in Augusta
Being asked something about the streets
of that city he showed a lamentable
ignorance of the locality in which he
claimed he had been residing for months.
Judge Hartford had strong suspicion
that the fellow was lying, and the latter
admitted it TO the officer after sentence
OF 30 days in the county Jail was imposed
Before committing the man, Judge Har-
ford said that If he could satisfy him any
time during the 50 days on the testimony
of his friends in Montpelier, that he was
not unworthy, but merely unfortunate,
steps would be taken to mitigate the SEN
tence.
Ths second offender was soldier from
Fort Preble, who with an associate got
into a drunken brawl not far from officer
Fowler's house Sunday night. The
officer called out to the men from his
house to stop, but they in reply cursed
him and dared him to come out"
The officer accepted the Invitation ana
found it necessary in attempting the ar
rest, to knock both soldiers to the ground.
While the irons were being put ON one,
the other escaped.
The man who was arraigned yesterday
was given 80 days in jail, put out of
courtesy TO the commanding officer, who
wished to take jurisdiction of the case,
the sentence was suspended.
