George Clark Can’t Leave Booze Alone Long at a Time.

George Clark, who was arrested and narrowly averted a serious charge at Delphi last year, and who declared firmly that he would never touch the jmisoq stuff again, has fallen from the water wagon according to the Monon News, which says: George Clark, of Rensselaer, who formerly operated the moving picture show at this place, was found helplessly intoxicated on Second street Saturday evening by Marshal Wilson. He was taken in custody by the officer and was given a hearing Sunday morning in Justice Thompson’s court. He plead guilty to the charge of being found drunk and was fined one dollar and costs, making in all four dollars which, he paid and was released.
