 The early part of this week was an unusually busy period with the local justice court. E. Santana and G. MonteZ Were both up on charges of disturbing the peace and the bench awarded them fines of 30 and p days respectively. Antonio Romero was up on a vagrancy charge, and as the judge had seen his face there several times before l of late, he was not inclined to be lenient and imposed d fine of 75 days. The accused pleaded that he was just ready to leave for Benson, | but Officer Nash saw him first. The | court suggested that he resume his 1 trip to Benson on the seventy sixth 1 day. Sheriff Haynes took him to | Globe as he was passing this way a ] few days ago. T. Morales was also arraigned on charge of disturbing | the peace and told a long story of 1 hi 1ars to Local officers arrested him for at l tempting to start little trouble over in San Pedro, the Mexican quarter | As his four days stay here seemed i to be longer than his customary stops, the judge allowed him to pro- | ceed ard he is probably now mak l ing trouble for officers of some other community.
