John Welsh Fined For Assault and Battery.

John Welsh appeared in Squire W. I. Spitler’s court Thursday and entered a plea of guilty to the charge and was promptly fined $5 and coats, amounting to $12.80 in all. Affidavits were filed against both of the boys. The father, who was .present at the time of the trial, stated that he would see that Claude, the older of the two boys, appeared if no warrant was issued for him. This was satisfactory to the court and it is probable that when Claude does appear a like fine will be imposed upon him. It . has also been reported that like affidavits will be filed against the two boys for their conduct toward others at the sale. - ' — ‘
