The defendant admitted that he
chastised the child. but declared that
he only slapped it. How many times

PROMINENT MAN
HEAVILY FINED
A. T. Biger Assessed $5345 After Being Found Guilty
Of Chastising Another Mans Child Who
Struck His Daughter

This afternoon in police court A.
T. Bigler. one of the longtime and
well known residents of the valley.
was fined $40 and costs, amounting
in all to $53.45. He was found gull
ty of striking small boy of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gex, who reside on North Fifth
street, Gex being an employe of the
Noils hardware store.
Mr.. Bigler stated that he might
take an appeal to the county court,
and the usual time to file a bond and
make an appeal was allowed by
Judge Hill.
The charge seems to have been the
outgrowth of a neighborho ood misun-
derstanding, and neither side is de-
serving of all the blame. Mischiev-
Gus children seem to have caused the
trouble and to have brought about
the misunderstanding.
1t seems that the son of Mr.. Gex,
who is about years of age, had
struck the little girl of Mr.. Bigler's,
which little girl is about years of
age. The little girl told her father.
The latter became enraged and went
out of his house, found the Gex
child and chastised it. The mother
OF the boy claims that in her pres
ence Mr.. Bigler struck her child
with a broomstick several times and
also with his fist. He would not
desist even when she protested
The mother further alleges that
there were welts and other marks on
the body of the child as result of
the blows administered by Bigler.
Bigler took the stand in his own
behalf. He denied that he had struck
the child with a stick or with his

Prosecutor Jessup deserves COM
mendation for his broad minded hand
ling of the Sunday base ball PROPOSE
ton. He recognizes the great good
that is done our citizens in providing
them with a place to 60 for healthy
recreation on the day of rest and be-
lieves, as do many others, that no des-
ecration of the Sabbath is done nor in
tended. AS the prosecutor says, the
ball park is remote enough to give no
bother to anyone on account of the
noise made by enthusiastic fans. And
for our part we would rather have
the men and youths who make up the
enthusiastic fans blowing off steam at
Athletic park each Sunday than ex-
pending it in excuses and dissipation
in some other city. Sunday base ball
as played in Richmond, under sur
roundings that are free from the in
fluence of the Sunday saloon that
flourishes in some of our nearby
cities. is a. safety valve for the pent IN
feelings of many a man and bow who
has worked hard through the week.
