NEIGHBORHOOD SCRAP ENDED BY POLICE CHIEF

It was a hot time over on East Water street last evening when Isaac Breese gave Homer Stanbaugh a beating which, according to the police, seemed to him. The rumpus became of such proportions that a community fight occurred and when Chief Geble arrived on the scene the territory in which the fight took place was badly disfigured as well as was Stanbaugh.

Both men were placed under arrest but Breese was released when the chief investigated and learned the circumstances. Stanbaugh is held on the charge of using obscene language in the presence of women. Mrs. Breese was insulted by Stanbaugh, it is alleged.

The fight, according to the version at headquarters, started when Stanbaugh went to the Breese residence where Mrs. Stanbaugh and her children were receiving something to eat. Stanbaugh ordered him out of the building. Then the trouble began.

Both men fought hard out in the street. Stanbaugh used an umbrella while Breese came through in great shape with his fists.

Other parties, at first disinterested, became interested and finally a general scrap was on. The arrival of the chief of police quickly put a stop to all action.

STAMBAUGH PLEADS GUILTY TO RESISTING OFFICERS

Fifty dollars fine and 30 days in jail was the sentence passed on Homer Stambaugh by Mayor Sumner McClain Wednesday evening, when Stambaugh pleaded guilty to resisting officers. He was committed to jail.

Stambaugh offered to leave Troy and never return if he were allowed to go without prosecution, Mayor McClain stated, but the offer was not accepted. A charge of drunkenness is still against the prisoner, Mayor McClain states, and it will be pressed if the man does not leave town when the other sentence is served.—Troy News.

Charged with the contributing to the delinquency of minors, 15 Troy men and women appeared Friday in the court of Probate Judge Harry Powell as a result of poker games conducted in the Kessler Flats, at which it was claimed young boys took part, losing their money, or looked on the games. All with one exception entered pleas of guilty or were found guilty and were given suspended sentences. When first arraigned all but three entered pleas of non guilty, but afterwards changed their pleas when some of the boys were brought into the court room and testified.

Florence and Orville Stambaugh, at whose homes the games were alleged to have taken place, were given 30 days jail sentences, suspended providing they did not allow games in their home for money or in any way to contribute to delinquency of minors. The same suspended sentence was given "Shorty" Lovett.

Lawrence Robbins, Joe Frickle, Ted Wesco, Anson Hill, Minnie Stambaugh, Margaret Robbins, Donna Anthony, Ray Higgins and Everett Anthony were all found guilty as charged and given a 10-day suspended sentence in ail.

Eddie Stambaugh and Harold Stambaugh who entered pleas of guilty were each given suspended sentences of five days in jail. The costs in each case are to be paid by May 1.

Clifford Wesco was found not guilty and discharged.

Mrs. Florence Stambaugh was represented by F. C. Goodrich, who stated that his client knew that card playing was going on in her home, though she did not know it was for money. However, she admitted receiving some money from the players.
