In the Recorders Court.

Both defendants in the case of the
City Of Sumter VS.. J. j. Hardy and w.
G. Stubs were found guilty" of dis
turbance of the peace by d jury on
Wednesday afternoon in the Record
er's court. A fine of s25 was impos-
ed upon Mr.. Hardy and IS upon Mr..
Stubs.
The facts adduced at the trial of
the case were about as follows:
The Sumter Electric Light, Ice and
Power Company, through Mr.. ]. J..
Hardy as manager, proposed TO the
City Council to have the light system
tested, and if not up to the standard
that the company would bear the ex-
council should defray the cost. Mr..
w. NJ. Riggs, professor OF electricity
at Clemson College, was communi-
Gated with, and in compliance with
the request of council, came to the
city on Saturday, November 4th, to
make an investigation and submit a
report. The moon shown brightly
until after 1 o'clock, so Mr.. Hayns-
worth and Mr. Stubs, with whom
Prof. Riggs was comforting, went to
their homes, and Prof. Riggs went
to the power plant early in the morn
ing when the machinery was in full
operation.
Mr.. Hardy resented this intrusion
on the part of the representative Of
the council, as his permission to allow
the investigation had not been asked
and he went to the store of the Sum-
ter Clothing Company and called Mr..
Stubbs out with the avowed intention
Of impressing upon Mr.. Stubbs his
thoughts in regard to the occurrence
which he did in so decidedly pro-
nounced a way, that Mr.. Stubbs re-
sented his remarks, and the difficulty
ensued.
Dick Richardson was arrested by
Officer McKagen for riding a bicycle
without a bell, colliding with Warren
Brown and cursing on Hampton
avenue. He was convicted and SEN
fenced to pay fine of $500.
Officer Seymour caught Hopkins
Scale last night riding bicycle after
dark without a lantern. He admitted
his guilt, and paid a fine of $500.
Jim Ross and William Phillips
were stopped in the midst of a
knock down and drag-out fight by
Officer Hodge yesterday. They both
entered plea Of guilty and were
each fined $500.
