MERRY CHRISTMAS FUND
.S227.0O

With over $225 in the Merry Christ mas fund, practically everything is in readiness for the Christmas celebration, to be given by the Salvation Army to the poor people of this city.
 Some thirty baskets of food will be distributed among as many poor fam. lilies. These baskets of good things will provide Christmas dinners for something like 100 poor people.
 In addition, gifts of toys, apples, oranges, candy and nuts will be made to between 300 and 500 poor children.
 The baskets will be distributed from Salvation Army hall on the afternoon of December 24. The children s gifts will be distributed from two monster Christ mas trees at Dreamland, on the night of December 25.
 The Christmas festivities at Dream land should bring joy to the heart of every poor child in Globe. The Globe City band has generously volunteered it's services and will be on hand and with the assistance of friends, will pass out the gift boxes to the children. The dis. tributiOn of gifts will begin at 8 clock and continue until every child in the house has received present.
 All of the happiness which will be dispensed by the good work of the Sal' vation Army wnl ne made possible by the generosity of the people of thls city.

The suit of William Mill Williams and others vs. the Live Oak Copper com pany occupied the entire day in the dis. triet court yesterday and may not be completed before tomorrow, owing to the number of witnesses which are to be examined.
 After the impaneling of a jury yes terday, a lengthy argument took place, regarding a location notice. The notice in question is for the property known as the Cottontail claim by the plaintiffs and the Copper King claim by the de- fendant company.
 The court will rule on this question today. If it is held that the location notice is valid. without oral proof, the trial of the case and examination of witnesses will proceed at once.

PAID DOUBLE FINE fOR ASSAULT Colored Woman Wanted to Be Square in All the Jus
 tice Courts

When Irene Lillibridge appeared in Judge Hinson Thomas court yesterday as defendant in charge of assault with deadly weapon, filed against her by Bessie Harris, it was discovered that the woman had already paid two fines for the same offense.
 The two women, who are negresses, en- gagged in a fstic altercation late last week, or which they were both arrest ed and notified to appear in court.
 The Lillibridge woman went to Judge Thomas court, pleaded guilty to a charge of disturbing the peace, and was fined $7. A short time afterwards, when she told one of the officers that she had been in Judge Thomas court, she was informed that she should have gone to Judge Pratt s court. Accordingly she appeared before that tribunal, en- tered another plea of guilty and was assessed $l0.
 Neither Judge Thomas nor Judge Pratt knew of the double fine until yes terday, when the woman happened to mention the fact to Judge Thomas. She will probably recover the second as- sessment of Sl0.
 The assault charge grew out of the same fight. It is still pending.
