to the tuneof thirty-five dollars on
Monday and one addition was made
to the county chaingaug as a result j
of the breaking of several town 1
ordinances by the colored sports
of the community.
The proceedings Monday morning
began with the trial oj Giles
White, a rantankerous individual of
dark complexion, who had bought
more booze than his purse would
justify and, to even up matters, had
been "tigering" a few pints away 1
to his friends. Found guilty and
fined $1 5 or thirty days. White j
was also fined $0 for playing cards, j
Both fines were paid.
The next case to come up was J
that of a stag party of young bucks
who had been indulging in a little |
private game of "skin"?said party
consisting of Joe McKinney, Sam
Benson, Geo. Wilkes and Dave j
Knox. All plead guilty to the ;
charge of playing cards 011 Sunday
and wore fined $5 or 2 4 days on the !
gang. McKinney, Benson and
Wilkes seem to have "rolled" Knox 1
in the game, as he was penniless, 1
while his pals immediately pro- 1
duced the five shiny plunks. After [
hpenning aoont twenty-four hours |
in limbo, Knox succeeded in raining
the money with which to pay
his tine and went his way rejoicing.
Magistrate Mdls was also called
upon to administer the law to dim
Mason, colored, who was charged
with assault and battery of an aggravated
nature. Mason was
bound over to court, in the sum of
$200. Mr. L. S. Nivens, upon
whose place the negro lives, furnished
bail for t he prisoner.
