TRIAL OF ERNEST sP|llARs
IN POLICE COURT YESTERDAY

Ernest 'Spillsrs was tried in the DO
lice court yesterday upon the charge
Of disorderly conduct, and upon con-
viction was given sentence of "s1O
or 30 days" upon the chaingang.
The young man was afSssta13 sksere4
quest Tssdgress " - fgf1 ho
charged fnfn with interfering with the
discipline Of the school. A number Of
the trustees OF the school and the SUI
perintendent and principal of the High
School We're in the court room during
the trial. Quite a number of boys
from the High School wereN ,ressat-
and the general testimsYyzs fo the
effect that young Spillars, who is not
student of the school, came to the
street adjoining the school grounds
and made remarks aimed at the prin-
pal, Mr.. Lowman, calling him "Pea-
nuts" and "He knows man when he
sees him "He is afraid to come out.
and such like banter. When the chill
dren, girls first, and boys Afterwards. 5
were being drilled into the building;
from recess, young Spillars would
count with the drill masters, some!
two! three! four!" and then inject
the word peanuts" thus, confusing
the students and, giving the teachers
considerable trouble.
After the students were all in, Mr..
Lowman, who seems to have been the
especial mark at which the disrespect
was aimed, went out to the street to
meet Spillars. Spillars, seaing. him
coming, picked up from the Street
good sized stick, something like a
small baseball bat" as some testified.
and "big as my arm," as others testi-
fed, and larger than a broom
HANDLE" as testified by one. Accord
ing to the testimony some words were
passed between .wmau and Spill
lars but no blo~s were passed. Mr.
Lowman turned, walked over to the
Peoples Supply Co.'s store add. phoned
for the police, asking that Spillars be
placed under arrest. -
At the trial the defense put up no
witnesses, nor did he go upon the
witness stand. So
Mayor Morgan, after giving theS
young man a lecture, sentenced him.
to a fine of $40 or 80 days upon the
chaingang.
