:, trial was held in Esq. Town sends court, yesterday, of a bunch of boys from Aston. Two of them, Bert Dean and Geo. Fol- ey. plead guilty and contributed $l7. .S5 each toward the upkeep of our county governmental machin- cry. The evidence showed that Charley Smithers was in another part of the country while the peace of this particular part of Ivy township was being smashed. and Ernest Trotter and Clifford Wade were innocent bystanders. who were struck by fragments of the peace. The. funny part was that neither the prosecution nor defense dared go to trial for fear that one of the witnesses would repeat the language she used to describe the boys who disturbed her peace.
