Fun on Sunday, But Oh! That Awful Feeling Monday Morning.
It is a long time since a woman has been fined in Rensselaer for drunkenness, but that is what happened to Mrs. James Anderson, of Hammond, in Rensselaer, and William Grayson also caught a fine for the same thing. Mrs. Anderson came down from Hammond on the 1:58 train and was met by Grayson. Together they went east on the Monon track and spent part of the afternoon up near the maple grove. They were under the influence of liquor when they came down the railroad track and Officers Mustard and Critser were waiting for them near the stockyards. Grayson did not want to come to jail but was persuao ed to by the officers. Mrs. Anderson swore and put up a terrible fuss. This morning there was a bad taste in their mouths and Squire Irwin fined each $1 and costs, amounting to $7.05 each. Grayson paid his and was released. Mrs. Anderson is still in jail. She formerly lived in Rensselaer.
The grocery at the depot which opened under new management last week reports a fine start. It is being conducted on a strictly cash basis and is a very nice and complete store.
