Jasper County Democrat, Volume 4, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 October 1901 — Justice of the Peace Fined. [ARTICLE]

Justice of the Peace Fined.

B. M. LaMoine, a lately appointed J. P., at Fair Oaks, was arrested the first of the week and brought here for trial, the charge being assault upon the yonng son of Barney Daywitt of Fair Oaks. It seems that LaMoine thought that judicial honors gave him the privilege of chastising the "kida” whenever they needed it, and Saturday, after imbibing a little freely in the cap that cneers, so rumor save, he threw the Daywitt lad out of the barbershop in whioh he keeps his offioe and then got a, buggv whip and struck him a few cats for good measure. The boy’s father caused LaMoine’s arrest and he was arraigned before Esq. Troxell. A jury found him guilty and assessed a fine of $lO and costs, amounting altogether to $49.65. LaMoine stayed the costa and will probably be more careful next time. Three car loadq of goods received this week—Potatoes, coal and salt. Chicago Bargain Store.
