Monticello Militiamen Are Fined For Not Attending Drill.

Monticello Journal. William Luse and Clarence Runkle, members of Go. C, Ind. National Guard, this city, were arrested for non-attendance on drills and neglect of military duty and tried before a summary court today. The court assessed a fine of $2 each against the militiamen and sentenced them to five days in jail. The jail sentence, however, was suspended on the promise of the men that they will in future perform at least fifty per cent of the military duty imposed by their oath of enlistment. It is said that there are likely to be other arrests if the members of the company are not more prompt in their attendance on drills. H
