 I offence against the state and is not entitled to clemency, and noe ought to be given in this case.
 Judge Williams in imposing fine without Imprisonment, said that Lynch would have had no trouble in | taking care rsof himself with Riley as his only assailant, and would not ithave been. hurt but for the interven- 1 ton of Haughton. It was Haughton | who kicked Lynch, who struck him in
 the head with a rock. punched him | rnd did all the injury to Lynch. The i facts in the case did not call for any ' clemency. Reference to the wife and
 three children did appeal to him. and ! that was the reason why imprison-
 ment was not added to the penalty, as was the case when Riley was sen- fenced. If Haughton is all his en- | pIoyers claim for him. the fine could i be paid, and Haughton have oppor- ] tunity to support his family. Bond was fixed. at $500. when Attorney Led widge gave notice that appeal might be taken. to the superior court.
 A false fire alarm was sent in from | Box 63 in Railroad avenue at 9.30 on i Friday morning. and although but one round was sounded the three motor driven fire apparatus responded quickly. When Chief Engineer Egg ger arrived at the fire alarm box. department was there. holding a six year-o1d street urciin by the hand. Mir Hoxie saw thisa lad ring in the alarm and gave him overs to: Chief Egg to Policeman Champ1in. The youth full offender was taken to the police station and there received a repri- mand from the chiefs of the police and fire department. and was sent home.
 The boy was considerably frighten- ed and said he did not pull the thing but that his little brother did, although told to leave it alone. The mother of the boy was summoned to the police station Friday evening and the two chiefs impressed her with the seriousness of sending in a false fire alarm, and warned her to see to it that her little boys did no more in that line. It is believed these same boys sent in the false alarm la~t Sun day evening.
 This particular box is but short distance from the ground. and Chief the pole. out of the reach of small boys. Chief Egger said this alarm cost the town about s25. which in eludes s15 for. the apparatus drivers. leaving their work in response to fire alarms is not taken into considera- tion.
