Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 276, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 November 1910 — Roselawn Resident Fined by Mayor Meyers for Plain Drunk. [ARTICLE]

Roselawn Resident Fined by Mayor Meyers for Plain Drunk.

John Girard is the name of a Roselawn citizen who came to Rensselaer Friday and got drunk. Possibly he got drunk and then came to Rensselaer, but any way he was in Rensselaer and was drunk at one and the same time, and that is an offense that is not looked on lightly. He was arrested by Marshal Mustard and taken before Mayor Meyers and the city’s chief executive fined him $5 and costs, amounting in all to $10.60. The mayor sits on a first offense drunk just five times as hard as the squire. Girard was penitent after spending the night in jail and promised, if released, to send a check for his fine. The mayor took a chance on him.
