.vAR|NA RESIDENTS
HAVE BIG RUMPUs
Several Warrants Are Sworn Out
and Have and Have An Air
ing Before Magistrates.

A case that promised something of
a sensation came up in the court OF
Magistrate Thomas in the county Sat-
urday morning. IL developed, how
ever. that there was no foundation
for the most serious OF the charges
named in three warrants.
Thomas Throckmorton was arrest
ed on a warrant sworn out by Mira.
]. H. Cornwall. charging him with
harboring a young girl, Erly Austin.
and her brother. Willie Austin, and
that he did this against the protest
OF Mrs Cornwall. both of the parties
being minors.
Another warrant charged Mrs
Cornwall with eursing and abusing
Maggie Throckmorton and Thomas
THIRD ckmorton and the third warrant
was Of a similar character.
Magistrate Kidwell sat with Squire
Thomas In the case and considerable
time was consumed in taking the evil
dence. the principals and witnesses
had very little knowledge about court
procedure. and any of them on the
stand did not hesitate to, turn to
another and ask for information that
would aid him In answering a ques-
ton. Thomas Throckmorton did not
know when twas that -he had been
cursed and abused by Mrs. Cornwall
and ne turned to his father and asked
for Information.
The parties are all from near Cam
fields Landing at Ouch Gap. The
trouble seemed to- be mostly a fam
lily affair and the magistrate decided
to let them off easy with a warning
to keep the peace. The warrant
arainef Tbrockmorton for harboring
the children was dismissed and the
defendants Of the other two warrants
were fined 81 and costs in each case.
