Clay Township Man Sc
cures Affidavit and Goes
Home to Pay a Fine.

Until yesterday no instance was

John Franklin, a farmer residing near
Greensboro, to establish a precedent
in this particular. although prosecut-

BILE for 1t.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Franklin
came to this city in his automobile.
He was seen by Mr.. Ladd and during
the course Of the conversation the
prosecutor asked Franklin if it were
true that he (Franklin) was intoxicat-
ed at Greensfork last week. Franklin
finally admitted that he had few on
board,' and when asked II, he did not
think he. should be fined for such con-
duct, Franklin couldn't see.it that way
at first, but after much persuasion Oh
the partSof Mr.. Ladd the farmer was
forced to admit that ''he supposed he

up to my offfne and I'll write out one
for you to take home, Do you catch

driven to his office, where he prepared
the affidavit and gave Franklin final
instructions as to the methods to be

Mr.. Ladd received word that the fine
had been paid to the Greensboro
squire and that his bank account had
been increased to the extent of five
dollars. ut is really a shame to
take the money" said the prosecutor,
wearing the smile that wont come off,
"but people oughn't to get drunk-its
bad business" And those who stood
near are confident they saw Mr. Ladd
cross his fingers and wink his left eye.

on the back. The latter thereupon left
its grain: and went or to take up

The foolish prejudice against all
birds of prey includes that pretty little

The alarm given by her little

c. f. Gabler, of South Greenwood
street, from having an experience
similar to that Of Mrs, Iva Earnest
few evenings ago when two men
worked the front and back door
game.
Mrs. Gabler was busily engaged at
ironing, this morning, when there
came rather vigorous ring at the
front door bell. she dropped her work
and answered the summons, leaving
her little daughter in the kitchen.
The man at the front door inquired
whether she wanted to purchase some
needles or pins. He made no at
tempt to display the wares and was
apparently a novice at the business.
While he was talking to her. Mrs.
Gabler heard her little daughter give
a scream OF fright and call to her
that there was tramp in the
kitchen. Mrs. Gabler closed the
front door and rushed to the kitch-
en-, only to see the intruder disappear
over the back fence.
