THE MARLIN DEMOCRAT
Eighteenth Year - Number 54
Marlin, Texas, Wednesday, November 27, 1907
-----
Fined for Abusive Language.
-----

       Kirk Williams was assessed a fine of $10 by a jury in justice court on a charge of abusive language Tuesday.

       Williams and C. B. Kaufman were charged with hurling vile epithets at H. Goodman, fellow booster, the war of words growing out of a fishing expedition of a few days since.  When the jury returned a verdict of guilty in the case of Williams, Kauffman entered a plea of guilty and was fined $5.00 by the court.

       The fish case against Williams is still pending in county court.
