THREE PISTOL TOTERS ARE FINED

-----

Bad Negro Wanted by Sheriff Pool

for Assault.

-----

    Three pistol toters were fined on pleas of guilty in county court. They each concluded, no doubt, that the custom of wearing side ornaments is a little more expensive and therefore less attractive than formerly.

    Geo. Canady, Jim Bates and Henry Huntsman were each essessed (sic) the sum of $100 for exercising the personal liberty of carrying concealed weapons.

 

    Alex Young, charged in two cases with petty theft, plead guilty and got a fine of $1.00 and one day in jail in each case.

 

    Sheriff Poole is looking for one Sydney Lee, a bad nigger, who beat up on one of his own race near town.
