HARRINGTON HAS LIVELY
SATURDAY NIGHT
Several Get Heavy Fines and One Mar
Held For Court.

The election of D. E. Sawtelle as Aid
erman of Harrington means a new era in
the peace and good order of the town,
and the young men who have made a
practice of going there on Saturday
nights and getting a supply of liquor
from a few negro sellers of whiskey
illegally on which to get wildly hilarious,
have found that the new Alderman means
to effectively break this disturbance of
the public peace up quickly.
Last Saturday night seven arrests were
made by the police, and on Sunday morn
ing hearing was given to the victims,
at which fines ranging from IS to $40
were imposed. The charge of being
drunk, disorderly and fighting in the
town limits were made against Milton
Greenly, Harvey Sipple and James Cos
lin, all of near Hollandsville, and Ben
Faulkner and E. Secord, of Frederica.
The others were three tramps with UNI
brella repair kits who happened to be
about when the arrests were made and
they got into it.
Milton Greenly turned States evidence
and on the promise of immunity from
further punishment, he told where they
had bought the liquor and this evidence
caused the arrest of George Smith, colo
red, who was held for court under bond
of $4,000, his father entering the bond
and pledging his home for the mans
liberty until the February term of court
at Dover. All the others paid their fines
and went their ways. This is the first
effort to bring the offenders against the
law to the bar of Justice, and the people
of Harrington are praising Alderman
Sawtelle for his effort in behalf of law
and order.
A tall blaze of fire just after night fall
last Wednesday evening caused some an
xiety for the basket factory at the east
side of Harrington. But it was found that
the blaze was the result of the burning
out of chimney in a dwelling next door
to the factory. No damage was done
The Gamers of Harrington have not
yet commenced to contract with the far
mers to grow either peas or tomatoes for
this present season of 1915. The Reese
cannery will receive a carload of seed
peas this next week, and will contract
with farmers to plant them for the spring !
crop.
The Harrington Packing Company have |
not sold a single case of their tomato pack |
of 1914 vet, while the other canneries |
have sold only a part of their stock. |
With this condition, there is no anxiety |
on the part of the Gamers to make con-
tracts with farmers for this coming sea-
season.
