They will wear the abbreviated kits

attend the performance must view the

the chill night air they propose to do
their shivering without lot of men

RICHARDSON GETS
BUT A SMALL FINE

A thirty dollar fine was paid for the
black eyes and one busted
supervisorial finger yesterday when
Judge Andrade assessed Everett Rich
ardson that much for beating up Jim
Quinn.
Richardson pleaded guilty and paid
his fine, Judge Andrade considering the
whole affair a huge joke and QUINN
shifting his anger from Sheriff Jarrett
to the Judge whom he considers to have
let the man off too easy.
No consideration was given to the
fact he was also accused of seriously
beating a woman, as the complaint to
which the man was answering ohly
charged the assault on Quinn.
1t is possible that this sentence does
not close the affair. but that other anc
hitherto unreported features may b'
brought up that will throw new hgn
on the disgraceful affair.

are very few officers who ever trouble

a plate, knife, fork, spoon and cup, for
