AN EXPENSIVE FRACAS. | w— Saturday evening a lot of intoxicated | colored people in town started a row in | front of the Brogkerhoff House. Men | and women were in the mess and the | latter used the foulest language imagina- | ble. When the officers came they re- | sisted his efforts to quiet them until they got welted over their cocoanuts with the | mace, Policeman Jodon had his coat | sleeve torn about off by Frank Miller | the leader of the gang. With the assist. | ance of officers Mullen and Rightoour, the men were landed in the lockup. Sunday morning Burgess Walker gave them a hearing, Everyone, after being sworn declared they *‘didn’t nothing" and abused the police officers and were imprudent to the Burgess in the bargain. The Burgess imposed the following fines: John Carter $550, ‘‘Brack” Powell $5.50 and Frank Miller $7 50; with notice that in default of pay ment they would be committed to the county jail, In a few bours they raised enough to be released. On Tuesday afteinoon the women, who participated in the fracas, were brought before the Burgess, who after hearing of their disgraceful conduct imposed the following fines: Mrs. James Delige fine and costs $9.87; Miss Jane Green, fine and costs, $14 87. These amounts were immediately produced to avoid going to jail. This fracas cost these dis- orderly people over $35. Next time they come before the Burgess it will be more severe. We admire our new Burgess’ course, and every good citizen seems to approve it. Harry Russell Drowned.
