Luther HOWERY and Thomas NOLAN were fined $10.00 each in Trail Justice court Wednesday. The court was presided over by Judge Hubert
PEERY, assistant trial justice, who has the work in the absence of Judge Albert
PEERY, who has been on his honeymoon. It developed in the trail that a row occurred between the parties mentioned and the
RILEYS. One of the RILEY boys was knocked down and the sisters
RILEY went to the defense when, it was alleged, Cora RILEY suffered her hair pulled by one of the boys. The boys denied the charge, but the evidence was against them. A number of prisoners, convicted of various and sundry offenses, were marched off to jail when court adjourned.
