In the Municipal Court.

The case of malicious mischief
against three Randolph boys was heard
before Judge Stafford in the Hallowell
municipal court. Monday. The scene of
the alleged disturbance was at a Chel-
sea school which the three boys visited
one afternoon recently. The teacher
requested that the boys leave the
school grounds, but it seems that they
did not and instead commenced a dis
turbance in the rear of the school, max
ing use of firearms. The case was called
TO the attention of the authorities and
as a result the three boys, all from
highly respectable families in Ran
dolph, were brought to court charged
with malicious mischief and paid fines
and costs amounting to about $40 each.
