Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 May 1905 — FINED FOR JUMPING A BOARD BILL. [ARTICLE]

FINED FOR JUMPING A BOARD BILL.

Charles Reynolds, who had been sought for during the past month for leaving a sl2 board bill at Keister’s restaurant, was arrested by Christie Vick at Fair Oaks Saturday and brought here and was arraigned before Squire Irwin. He was fined $1 and costs, $16.40, and in default was sent to jail. Thursday morning the young man received $25 by telegraph from his friends, and paid his fine and costs and was released. We also understand that he received more money from friends by mail Thursday. The story he tells, we are informed, is that he had been boarding at Keister’s for some time, and paid along when he had money, but his money was exhausted and he got behind and went away to procure work, intending to pay the balance of his board bill as soon as he could. Ten yards standard calico for 36 cents at the Chicago Bargain Store.
