REMINGTON MAN IN JAIL

At Lafayette on the Charge of '* “Mashing’*—-Was Fined $25 and Costs. O. E. Burch, who claims Remington as his home, was handed a package by Judge Prass in the city court Tuesday in the form of a $25 fine and costs. Burch is a real estate man. On Monday evening he accosted a well known local girl on the street shortly after she had left her father. He almost knocked her down the steps leading to the Western Union office and spoke to her in a maner that badly frightened her. She reported to Officer Hedrick, who placed Burch under arrest. Burch was unable to put up the cash for his fine and was remanded to jail, where he will have plenty of time to deliberate over whether his cute ways pays.—Lafayette Journal. Burch resided in Rensselaer for about a year, where he followed paperhanging, moving here from Wolcott. He moved to Remington a little more than a year ago.
