In The Magistrates Court.

on Saturday warrant was sworn
out before Judge Wells by Alva
Keels charging w. j. Stafford, a young
white man living few miles west
of the city, with cursing and using
profane language in the public high
way in the presence Of ladies.
From what could be learned about
the case it was ascertained that there
was some trouble between the two
parties about passing each other on
the road and in the dispute that fol-
lowed Stafford was alleged to have
done the cursng. Mr.. Stafford claims
not to have known that any ladies
were in the car. The occurrence
took place after dark Friday night.
Communication was secured with
Mr.. Stafford later who stated
that he would come to town Monday
at noon to answer the charges in
Magistrate Wells Office.
