THE Joke COST $4.1O

Robert Fox, Familiarity known as
"Ding Fox, =" imbibed some liquor Tues
day and was making noise around some
of the lawyers Offices when two promi-
nent gentlemen TO get rid of him fixed
up a placard, which read, "kick this
negro and send him home, he knows not
where he is going nor how to get
there" and placed it on a large satchel
and sent Fox down to the depot to wait
until they came. Fox loitered until
about p. m. when a travelling man
saw him marching up and down the
platform and read the placard. He told
Fox what was on it and Fox then real
lied that a joke had been played on
him. Mad as a March hare he came up
town cussing at every step. He went
into the Law Building and continued his
profanity when he was kicked out and
summoned 10 the Mayors court charged
with profanity and disorderly conduct.
Wednesday morning he was fined 81
and costs making a total of 81. 10.
The parties who sent him to the
depot paid his fine, but have sworn of
playing such expensive jokes.
