Corp, was arrested Sat- urday by Sheriff H. R. Elwood on the charge of employing youth of thir- teen years. In a hearing before Judge Bacon Wakenan he was found guilty and fined g sand costs of $1464. As he had not the funds with him the case was continued until today to al- low him to pay up the fine and costs.
