ONE BOY DISMISSED AND ANOTHER FINED.

Another Sick and the Other Two to Have Hearing In Juvenile Court At the April Term. Leon Eigelsbach was today fined $1 and costs in Squire Irwin’s court for the part he had in the escapade at the library a few weeks ago when a window was broken out and the refreshments! which the literary club had prepared, were stolen. He plead guilty and the court assessed the minimum fine, which with the costs amounted to $8.55. Jay Nowels, who was also charged with participating in the prank, was unable to appear, owing to sickness and Jake Moore was dismissed because it was proven that he did ndt have any part in the affair, although he had later seen some* of the boys and helped to eat a little of the pilfered sweets; Sammy Duvall and Ed Honan, two juveniles, who are also charged with participancy in swiping the toothsome provinder, are to have their hearing in April before Judge Hanley. The act was simply the spirit of mischleviousness running to excess and the boys did not appreciate the responsibility of their deed when it was being performed. The punishment should be a warning to other boys who have doubtless been Implicated in similar pranks at other times.
