Clifford Poole. we'll known Sanford
young man. had six distinct cha rges
preferred against him Monday in the
municipal court of that town. Tho
charges We're: Being drunk and disor-
derby: assault upon his wife: assault
upon his daughter: resisting an of
ficer: illegal possession and common
nuisance. The charges all grew out
of rather too strenuous Christmas
celebration at his house, which result
ed in n visit from the officers He was
fined IS and costs for being drunk and
disorderly, SO and costs were imposed
on each Of the assault charges: the
charge of resisting a police officer was
suspended; he was fined 500 and costs
for Illegal possession and on the COM
mon nuisance charge the respondent
was required to give bonds in the sum
Of $500 for his appearance at the
January term of court. He was also
required TO give bonds in the sum Of
$1,000 to keep the peace. In the course
of the trouble at the house it is alleged
that the daughter struck the head of
the, family over the head with a. stove
saker and when the officers appeared
they were obliged TO club the man
more or less, SO that when he showed
up in court his physical condition was
such that he appeared as t. he ought to
have been pensioned rather than fined.
