JOE WARBRITTON GETS LONG TERM

Youth Who Beat His Mother Fined S2OO By Mayor Spitler—Will Serve Time at Penal Farm. Mayor Spitler Friday afternoon fined Joe Warbritton S2OO and costs, a total of $220. He will be taken to the penal farm Monday to begin a term of 220 days. Joe was accused of beating his mother at Fair Oaks. He was bruoght before the mayor about three weeks ago and fined SSO and costs. The mayor gave him a lecture and suspended sentence but that did not prove sufficient inducement to get Joe to change his ways and he repeated the offense at home in less than two weeks. He probably realizes now that Mayor Spitler was not joking when he told him what to expect if he did not behave himself.
