FIRST FINE FOR
EXPLODING CRACKERS
DOUGLAS SMALL BOYS FIND
THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
MEANS BUSINESS

DOUGLAS. June 16.-lSpccial -
The first fine for diseharging fire
crackers was assessed this morn
ing. The fire crackers discharged
were giant ones and the payor OF
the fine, T. J. Carroll. thought the
fine was also big in proportion, al
though in reality 1t might have been
five times as great. Still the object
of imposing the fine was as a warn
ing and it viii be evident that the
officers intend 70 inforce the law.
With this made known there viii be
few who care to take chances and
violate the ordinance.
Carroll was shooting cannon crack
ers about the streets and alleys Of
the cityla ST night Marshal Igo first
found him, but was not aware that
there was an older ordinance than
the one passed on Monday night and
as he had not yet posted copies Of
the ordinance which was published
last evening he let the prisoner go.
Later Chief Stoval. who was in
formed of the earlier ordinances and
ahd three small boys in court under
it that day. came up with Carroll and
re-arrested him This morning Car
roll seemed to think a $40 fine was
an imposition and so stated. Judge
Rice showed him that unless the or
dinances we're enforced both court
and officers were made subject to
unfavorable criticism by some and
ridicule by others. The fine there
fore stuck" and when Carroll left
the court ne asked that the matter
might be given full publicity. SO that
he would be a warning to others.
There was another arrest. but as the
offender was a boy he was given a
warning and discharged.
Some criticism is heard on the new
ordinance as being too sweeping It
is claimed that it would have been as
well not to put the ban on torpedoes
and paper caps. but these are in
cluded in the new ordinance and
from now till after the noise period
ends it will be better for young and
aid. large and small to indulge in
celebration. premature or otherwise
without the city limits.

householders have taken advantage Of
the opportunity given TO make the

city az the expense OF occupants.

Gibbs spoke this morning OF the
way that real estate agents and deal
ers had taken up the work with him
and especially mentioned the E. r.
Pirtle company. VonArnim company
and H. f. Dugan. He stated that
they had taken up the work Of clean
ing the premises they owned and
controlled systematically and that
their help had been highly important
He hopes for the same assistance
from al to the south of Tenth street
that was given him by those TO the
north.
Speaking of he amount OF refuse
that had been carried away Gibbs
stated. that in some alleys IN
the full trip not over two OF three
loads would be obtained all the way
from f TO A avenue. in other alleys
he would find FIVE. six or seven loads
TO be removed in the same distance
and sometimes would carry away a
full load for one premises. Thus far
some forty wagon loads have been
carted away in the cleanup of the
northerly part of the city.

for clean streets. alleys and yards

THE OLDEST JURORS.

The present Fulton county Grand
Jury is doubtless the Oldest set OF
men ever selected for this service in
the history of the county. The COM
bined ages of these twelve men a.
mount to 721 years, making the aver
age a little more than so years.
During their four days session here
last week, not a man was tardy-an-
other unusual occurrence.
The youngest man of the twelve is
J. f. Phipps, and the Oldest 7. j..
Reed.
Their ages are as follows:
L. A. Prather, Sr.. 65; r. M. Me-
theny, II; T. j. Reed, ~; A. M. De
Bow, Sc; w. II. Routen, 55; J. j.

Bowen, 81; J. Z. Phipps, AS; j. IL.
Pickett, So; s. b. Burrus, "a; s. NJ.
Binford, SO.
This is a fine set of men, to say
nothing of their good looks and pop
ularity with the ladies.
1t might also be OF interest to our
readers to know that Judge j. C..
Speight, who is presiding in the alb
sence of Judge Bugg, is the first Re
publican judge to occupy the Fulton
Circuit Court bench within the men,

ICE GORGE BREAKS.

The great ice gorge that blocked
the Ohio near Hawsville, for many
miles, broke Tuesday and reached
Hickman Friday. II was the largest
amount of ice ever seen in the river
at this place.
The gorge on Wolf Creek was a
solid mass Of ice standing in many
places so feet above the water and
seventy miles long. Those who visit
ed the gorge before ii broke, say 1t
was the grandest sight they ever saw.
Old river men declare that such a
gorge has never before been seen in
the Ohio river or any other river in
this section OF the country.
