Judge Humphreys had his usual number of week-end offenders in recorder’s court today. Two negro employees of the railroad camp at the city cemetery pulled from a freight train yesterday proved a regular walking arsenal. They contributed $10 and costs to the court’s coffers. Daisy Knight, a dusky damsel, was assessed $10 and costs for disorderly conduct and abusing Ala Knight, her neighbor. Hubert Dixon, white, and Sam Watkins, colored, were taxed with the costs for engaging in an affray. The trouble started over the finding of a $2 bill, which both men claimed. His honor decided that it was Dixon’s money and Watkins was ordered to return it to him. This affray over the unlucky $2 bill emphasized the “hoo doo” power of that denomination of money. A few other cases of minor importance were disposed of.
