Boozers at Monon Meeting With Some Short Halter Fines.

Monon officers have been going after liquor law violators the past week and The News records four arrests and three convictions. One was Neal Hickey, a plain drunk. He belonged to a theatrical company and celebrated last Sunday with a “stew.” He was fined $2 and the costs brought the total up to $11.40* which he paid, proving that he was a very wealthy actor. George Gilbert was arrested for giving liquor to a minor. He pleaded guilty after taking the matter under advisement for several days and his fine was S2O and the costs brought it up to $33.10. Bob Templeton pleaded guilty to a plain drunk and was fined $2, amounting in all to SB. Leander Nordyke was arrested for intoxication Thursday. He is going to try to prove that he was the soberest man in town and the case was set for next Thursday and he was released on SIOO bail.
