TOWN MARSHAL DIDN'T
APPEAR AS EXPECTED

Discovering that he had been
touched for Sill, Orlie Fletcher, a
farmer. raised his revolver and fired
three shots into the air at Iseman's
wagon yard, Second and Washington
streets, at 3 o'clock this morning as a
signal for the "town marshal" In
stead of the town marshal coming
to his aid he found himself in the
hands OF Patrolmen England and
Wick and was hustled to police head
quarters and given a berth in the
city Jail. A charge was entered
against him for carrying concealed a
deadly weapon.
Fletcher saw no other way to an
nounce his being robbed than to fire
his pistol. After that he is alleged to
have entered several rooms occupied
by sleepers and fiourished his gun at
random in search of the robber. In
police court this morning he was
fined $35 and sentenced to ten days
in the county jail for his ignorance.

FIGHT
FOLLOWS APOLOGY FOR RUDE
NESS TO WOMEN.
Murray Man Wishes TO Know Why
Another Butts Ibis
Arrested.

A fight. occurring in restaurant
on South Second street yesterday
morning. in which Leslie Jones, a
butcher, took the part of two wom-
en-, was aired in police court this
morning. II resulted in Jones being
dismissed and w. C. and ]. NJ. Car
ter being fined s. each.
From the evidence Jones was in
the restaurant addressing an en-
velope. when J. NJ. Carter and his
uncle, w. C. Carter, entered with
three friends from Murray. They
ordered a bowl of soup each, and 1t
seems that one of the men from
Murray was acquainted with one OF
the women in the restaurant, and he
began "joshing" her. She became
angered and ordered the men out.
Then followed a fluent cursing and
Les Jones asked the men to cease.
He told j. NJ. Carter to beg their
pardon, which was done. Then Car
ter thought he had been used frac-
ton too rudely and asked Jones what
business 1t was OF his to butt in.
More words aroused Jones anger
and he struck Carter
The ARRAY ended in the arrest OF
all three. They gave bond for their
appearance in court this morning
w. C. Carter pleaded guilty to a
breach of the peace charge and J. NJ
Carter acknowledged his guilt for
cursing. Jones pleaded not guilty.

shortage throughout the coal fields of
southern Illinois during the last

a result of the car famine.
