county Jail or a trip on the city
chain gang this morning when they
appeared before Judge Perkins in
police court. Two of the boys, Sam
Alexander and Ben burlington re-
ceived SO suspended fines while the
case against win Mccoy was dis
missed.

by city officers and charged with
gambling. The officers reported that
a large crap game was in progress
on the east side, right in the middle
OF the street. All of the three
managed to make their escape
Mccoy claimed he had just ar.
rived when the officers did and was
not in the game. The other two ad-
mitted their faults and because of
their straightforwardness and their
promise to go and sin no more, We're
given the suspended sentence.
However, Judge Perkins warned
the trio that if they were caught
again they would have to pay two
fines and serve two terms in the
bastile.
