Horse Trader Fell Under The New Gypsy Law.

Monticello Herald. ' Ab Stevenson, a horse trader from Lafayette, is languishing in the county bastile here as a result of overconfidence in his own knowledge of law. He pitched his camp on the roadside near the Moore place west of town and when requested Sunday to move on, said he "didn’t have to.” A warrant was sworn out by Chester A. Moore and the new law against camping on highways without the consent of property owners was given a try-dut before Justice Marshall. It was found to serve its purpose very well, and the horse trader was sent to jail to lay out k fine of one dollar and costs, which will require eleven days.
