For Principals

Jim West, mining man, anc
Charles S. Wise, son of Former May.
or J. E. Wise were each fined $12.5t
in police court Monday morning or
charges of disturbing the peace.
Each had sworn out a complaint
against the other as result of q
fist fight at a local garage Sun
day morning. The charge in each
case was misdemeanor.
The complaint against West was
the first to be taken up when Judge
Phil Herold convened court at 10
o'clock. The complaining witness
was absent. West pleaded guilty and
paid a $3.50 fine.
Wise came into court a few min
+ utes after Herold had disposed of
the West case and entered plea
of not guilty after advising the
court he had requested Policeman
Cummins to have the case against
West dismissed. Curnnnins, it seems,
had not advised Judge Herold.
Wise, then acting as his own at
torney. went on trial. He said he
was attacked by West in his own
place of business.
West was then called as a wit
ness. II had gone to see Wise about
a price on pipe that he had to sell
and was told it was Is cents foot.
He had sold some a few days be-
fore for 10 cents a foot. Wise said
I was a liar" West testified and
then he said they got into a fight.
John Atwood, who had accompan-
led West when he went to see Wise
about buying the pipe. was the next
witness.
"I went over with Jim to buy
some piping, said Atwood. There
was an argument, over price. 1t was
dark in there (the garage). I
couldn't see, heard a commotion
and went for policeman.
Policeman Leonilo Larriva, who
answered the call said: "Just be-
fore noon John Atwood told me two
men were fighting. went over and
found two men fighting. Both were
hitting each other and I booked
them for fighting"
