Moore was arrested and arraigned before Squire Dickinson, of Carpenter township. He pleaded guilty and was fined $5 and costs, amounting to $12.30, which he paid. Moore, it is understood, claims that he did not violate the order not to drive on the stone road, bu Meadle claims to have seen him. It was an argument about this that led to the assault.
