Violated Truancy Law.

William McClintic was fined $5 and costs, $14.85 in all by Squire Troxell Tuesday evening for failure to send nis 8 year old adopted daughter to school. On failure to pay the fine that evening McClintic was lodged in jail. ' The girl was adopted from an orphans’ home and has been sent to school very irregularly. On the witness stand, Mrs, McClintic, who was very indignant, stated that they had not adopted the girl to send to school, but to work, and from all accounts she has found plenty of work to do while making her home with this family. It is very likely that a home will be found for the child elsewhere.
