PLAIN DRINKS, AUTO SPEEDERS

SOME PAY FINES, SOME GO TO
JAIL. NONE GET OFF SCOT
FREE

Henningsen's court. For brief space
of time it assumed metropolitan air and
there was more criminal business requir-
ing the attention of the Justice that day
than usually falls to.his lot in week, and
sometimes even in month.
The first two cases up before his Honor
were plain DRINKS. Saturday J. Heinz
and Lee Mccullough imbibed too freely
of the cup that cheers and during the eve
ming made nuisances of themselves at the
Northwestern depot. Of the two, Nc
Cullough evidently was the most flush for
he topped off his drinking bout with the
stuff that bubbles Both were taken into
custody by the night police and escorted
to Hotel de Julius where they had time to
sober off over Sunday. When brought
before Justice Henningsen they pleaded
guilty and were fined $500 each and costs
but Mccullough was completely strapped
and in default of his fine was committed
to the County Jail for five days. Heinz
was able to produce the costs and his fine
was RENTED.
Saturday evening there was dance
at Cases Hall in the Town of Essig. A
bout 10 o'clock in the evening Nick Fisch-
er and James Roberts of SleepyEye began
disturbance in Cases saloon and he put
them out. They resisted and one of them
bit Case in the finger quite severely. Mr..
Case would have made no complaint ev-
en- then if they had behaved after that,
but they persisted in creating further dis
turbance and were placed under arrest by
Constable Lambrecht. The Sheriff's Of
flee was communicated with and Deputy
Chas. Brust, ST., went out to Essig, took
charge Of the rowdies and lodged them in
Jail. They pleaded guilty to assault Mon
day and each was fined $40. and costs ag-
gregating $1O.25, a total of $20.25 for each
which they paid and were thereupon dis
charged from custody.
Monday afternoon JosephGroebner ap-
peared in court charged with having COM
mitted an assault upon Joseph Hogen.
The defendant plead not guilty and the
case was adjourned until Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock. According to the
story of the complaining witness, the de-
PENDANT has had grudge against him ev
er since he was discharged from the North
Western Section Gang because he, Groeb-
ner, failed to do the work required of him
by Hogen. Saturday Groebner waylaid
Hogen and proceeded to give him drub-
bling.
The same afternoon DR.. 0. J. Seifert
had to answer to complaint lodged a.
gainst him for exceeding the speed limit.
The Doctor admitted that he probably
drove his car little faster than the law
permits and paid a fine of $500 and costs.
The police have determined to enforce
the speed laws and it behooves everyone
who drives a car to keep his eyes glued
to his speedometer if he expects to keep
free of the meshes of the law which was
framed for the good of autoists as we'll as
that of pedestrians.
Friday afternoon five young boys of
town were in Justice Henningsen's
office and were severely lectured, not
only by the Justice, but also by City
Attorney Somsen. They were given
a goodly share of fatherly advice and
then allowed to depart without having
formal charges for misconduct preferred
against them.
It seems that Louis Rewitzer and Emil
Domeier, both lads about 10 years old
who reside in the Wallachei, had an en-
counter Wednesday noon in front of
the Congregational Church. Strained
feelings had existed between the boys
for some time. On the day in question
Domeier was accompanied by three other
boys. When they met Rewitzer, Do
meier's companions urged him into
the frey and told him that if he wasn't
coward, he would take fall out of
Rewitzer. This egging-on did the bust
ness. Domeier pulled off his coat and
made for Rewitzer, who, under the i'm
preston that he was going to be attacked
by all four of them, drew a knife and
in the melee inflicted a slight cut on
Domeier's left forearm. The sight of
blood put an end to further hostilities
and the boys went home, later to be
hailed before the Justice for reprimand.
