Claude Mundon was given a fine of
$25 in police court yesterday afternoon
for petty larceny. Mundon mad taken
several pieces of doll furniture stored
in the barn of S. Barnum at the resi-
dence of the latter on Harrison street.
The case was a peculiar one for Mum
don had apparently endeavored tomake
restitution of the property after its re-
moval some twenty-four hours previous.
The stuff was taken from the Barnum
barn on Friday evening and on the
following Saturday at supper time
Mundon appeared on the scene and told
Barnurn that his. Mundon'S son, to-
gether with two other boys had removed
the furniture from the barn but that
Mundon had given his son a whipping
and desired to return the property
stolen to Mr.. Barnum. AS Mundon is
but a young man and unmarried and in
addition had given the furniture away
to the daughter of Mrs. Alice Logan

his father arrested for disturbing the
peace at their place of business on East
Fourth street and stated in the trial in
police court Monday afternoon that his
father was addicted to the habit of
using cocaine and whisky and when
boarded up in this manner made things
exciting for every one around. He was
also, under these conditions, IN the
habit of taking large sums of money and
spending il. When the relapse set in
he would ask his son to refrain from
giving him any money when in an ire
SponSible state. On last Friday and
Saturday mornings Frisbee, the elder. |
was out with the current and demanded
five dollars; the son approaching the
situation refused and the father went
to the cash drawer and made a raise OF
the necessary amount From this the |
trouble started. Mrs. Frisbee in addi- |
ton claimed that her husband was
spending money for the benefit of other
women. Judge Hamilton found the old
gentleman for SO.
