IDENTIFY Not Valuable.

A jury in the city court this morning
found Albert SpiIlman of Kilmer guilty
of disturbing the peace and his fine was
fixed at one cent. OF course the costs
amount to enough to make it more
serious.
The complaining witness was Charles
Dawson, who lives in one of the tenant
houses on the Weidley ranch of which
Spillnan is overseer- Dawson brought
his whole family, whose peace ne al
legged had been disturbed by SpilIman,
to town with him this morning to tes-

and sensational trial The Dawsons
swore that SpiIlman called at their
house yesterday to consult with the
head of the house on a matter of bust

ensued he used profane and unbecomine
language, greatly disturbing the peace
of Dawson and his family.
