DRUNK AND DISORDERLY.

A Fair Oaks*•Bunch* ’ Laying Out Fine In Jail for Disturbing Christmas Exercises There. The Christmas exercises at the Fair Oaks Christian church Saturday evening were rudely disturbed by a gang of alleged drunken rowdies, and as a result three of them are now boarding with Sheriff O’Connor to appease the wounded dignity of the State of Indiana.' Arthur Dewitt, Roy Brohard, Geo. Brohard and “Bill” Marlin, four of the party who are alleged to have engaged in the disturbance and fighting, were arrested Monday by officers from Rensselaer, and were arraigned before Squire Irwin Wednesday. Dewitt, Marlin and Roy Brohard plead guilty to disturbing the meeting and were fined S2O and costs each, $34.83 in all in each case. Geo. Brohard, father of Roy Brohard, stood trial and was found not guilty. On the charge of intoxication of the three latter, they were acquitted. They could not settle and must lay 35 days in the county jail for their fun. Several others, who are alleged to be equally guilty, were not to be found, although 'warrants are out for their arrest and they will no doubt be gathered in ere long.
