A Procession From Fair Oaks.

There has been quite a steady procession of Fair Oaks citizens to the county seat, Tuesday evening and Wednesday, each man with a guard of honor in of a constable or deputy sheriff. „ Ed Burns was brought down Tuesday evening. Ed was a witness before the grand jury in September, and being too drunk to testify against anyone else, the grand jury utilized his jag as the basis of an indictment for intoxication. He plead guilty, and it being shown that he has since taken the Keeley cure and is trying to reform, the court fined him only $1 and remitted the costs. John G. Liggitt, the noted hunter, was down again, Wednesday, He is charged with shooting at a quail and hitting the game law, on Oct. 15th. He gave bail for SSO and will be tried the fourth week of the term. He denies having any trouble either with quails or game law. ' ■ Ed Griggs, the whalor in last Saturday evening’s row at the Fair Oaks school entertainment, was also brought down. He gave bail -for SIOO and will be tried Friday, by the court. Richard Meyers, the party who started the row and got the thrashing, is still being looked for. He is supposed to be hiding somewhere in disguise, namely two black eyes and a bunged up countenance.
