YOUNG MAN FINED FOR CARRYING KNOCKS

Played Roll of Bully at Remington and Was Arrested on Grand Jury Indictment. Sheriff Hoover and Deputy Grant .made a trip to Remington Monday evening and brought to the county jail a young man named Oren Purlie, who has been working on. a farm in that neighborhood for th* past year or so. Purlie is reported to have played in the role of n smart aleck, and to have frequently become intoxicated, at Which times he rammed him fists deep in his pockets and proceeded to tab* up all Ithe sidewalk and to difve all others into the street, ladies ns well as men. Peculiarly he never ran across any person who contested his right-of-way and he has been rather lording it about Remington for the past year. It is reported that he came from Washington county and that there are reasons why he can not return to that county. Last week he was fined for getting drunk at Remington and when the marshal went through his pockets he found a set of brass knuckles, which is a violation of the law to carry. The marshal tarnished the information to the grand jury and he was indicted for carrying concealed weapons. He was arrested and brought here Monday night and this Tuesday morning entered a plea of guilty and was fined $5 and costs. He could not pay and up to noon had not found any person to stay his fine. If Purlie will take an invoice at this time he will probably find that John Barleycorn has been very false to him and that ft would he the part of wisdom to break off his association before he is led into more serious difficulty.
