In Recorder’s Court
Belle Williams, who did a good job in slashing Roland Hill,
was fined $10 and costs in recorder’s court yesterday afternoon on the charge
of cutting Lawson Crider, also colored. The woman was hired out by the
commissioners, but Crider paid the fine and had her cook for him. She claimed
that his purpose was not the best and it was while he was after her with a
chair that she produced a sharp instrument and proceeded to do an artistic job.
In the meantime Crider is under bond for hearing.
Seven Windy City young men were given a hearing yesterday
afternoon on the charge of gambling. Their names were not disclosed this time

Five Sent to
Penitentiary
On last Friday Sheriff C.D. Story carried five convicts to
the penitentiary by automobile as follows: Charlie Graves for one year; Guy
Johnson, Lawrence Mitchell, Harvey Bunton and Roy Mumford each for two years.
The first for making liquor and the four others were implicated in stealing a
large quantity of hosiery from Piedmont Finishing Mills. One of them told some
one who inquired of them on the way where they were going. He explained that
they were going to the penitentiary for stealing at the hosiery mill and were
caught when they went back after the smokestack. After they were put down to
work, it may not quite so funny as it was riding through the country in an
auto.
