MAN WHO ATTACKED
GIRL IS IN JAIL

Convicted of an offence that
shows he is either demented or a de-
generate, Charles Martin is now serv-
ing out county jail sentence imposed
this morning by Justice of the Peace
Joe Parkes and he is also held to the
grand jury on a second charge.
Martin was arrested yesterday af-
ternoon in the east end of the city
after he had made an attack upon
little girl. He attempted to whip
the child with a stick and the screams
of the child attracted the mother who
called d. B. Waffle to her aid. Waf-
file took after the fellow on foot and
caught him upon the levee. He
made him accompany him back to
where his motor truck was standing
and then took the fellow to the city
jail.
After Martin had been arrested it
became disclosed that there were
other complaints outstanding against
him. He was accused of molesting lit
tie girls in three different instances
and the children and their parents
were interviewed by the police yes
terday
In the justice court this morning
Martin was placed on trial on a
charge of assault and battery and up
on being found guilty was fined $50
by Judge Parkes, that being the
maximum fine for that offence in the
justice court. In looking up the law
District Attorney Steiwer discovered
that in such cases the district attor-
ney may choose to consider the JUS
tice court proceedings either as pre-
liminary hearing or as com elete
trial of the case. He thereupon asked
that Martin be sentenced to Jail on
one charge and that he be bound over
to the grand jury on the other count.
This was done and if he should be
convicted n the circuit court the
maxilaun penalty will be one year in
Jail and a fine of $500.

Late In the week the markets were

several large houses had turned to the

light stocks and poor prospects, in
many parts Of Europe our wheat and

qucntly they are predicting heavy ship

the outlook is bright here for an

increase their deliveries. At times
many holders were inclined to take
advantage of the advance to unload.
