ALL HOME PRINT Dade County times @s_ Oincial Oraan of Dade county ®/~ day night in the county jail and when arraigned before Judge Tarver Monday, plead guilty ~" ,x " to the charge of being drunk on the public highway ©f the State and a fine of $75 and costs with a four months chain gang sentence, the sentence being suspended for good behavior. Found Pig In Auto—“The head lights blinded me, but we drove our car along side their car; I jumped upon the running board when the car we were pursuing skidded into a ditch testified Ex- Sheriff Holmes in the case of a Mrs. White on trial for transport¬ ing whisky. “How many people were in the car?” asked the So¬ licitor General, “One man and two women, when the car skidded into the ditch the man jumped out, ran down the road, and one of the women in the car found a pig in a sack. I then searched the vi¬ cinity of the car and found sev¬ eral cans containing whisky.” Mrs. White was acquitted of the charge of transporting lipuor. She was represented by McClure and Hale. “Bear ye one anothers burdens and thus fullfill the law,” was the probable thoughts of E. L. Henderson, a Thomas Jeffer¬ son looking man of Walker coun¬ ty, when asked, as he testified when arraigned in court on the charge of possesing lipuor, a stranger in the terminal station in Chattanooga gave him a swig from a quart fruit jar, then re- puested Mr. Henderson to take his (the stranger’s) rain coat into the train then soon leaving over the , A. G. S. road to Birmingham, as j he had two grips to carry, and promised soon to join him the de- f en dant at the train. Wishing to oblige his friend, Mr. Henderson took the slicker, which probably contained the quart fruit jar, and ma( j e his way to the train. The oscillations of the train plus the digestion of the booze; caused the j defendant to talk in a tone more than audible- and break into a jolly song, while walking about the car engaged in conversation with the ocupants of the smoker, he observed to the News corre- spondent that “It was hot as H--1.’ The correspondent’s rejoinder is lost to history. Sheriff Newman was a passenger aboard this train and, upon reaching Trenton, in¬ duced Mr. Henderson to stop over and sample the culinery accommo¬ dations of the county jail. “All’s well that ends well,” but upon reaching the corner of Sulphur Spring street and Bank avenue, Brother Henderson, imitating Ev¬ erett True, esayed a side wallop at Sheriff Newman, and then, sprinted down the street, closely pursued by Deputy Robinson, but was overtaken at the corner of j Sulphur Spring sreet and Jump- ing Off avenue, and after quite a scuffle was hand cuffed and conducted to the jail. He was tried on a charge of possessing whisky, convicted and given a fine of $25 and costs. He was repre¬ sented by Col. “Red” Townsend. Judge, “I thought I would go home to see my folks,” said Claude Hunt, when arraigned on a charge of sawing bars in the county jail, in an attempt at a jail delivery on part of some of the prisoners. Hunt was fined $50 and costs with a probationary sentence of , twelve months. He was represent¬ ed by “Red” Townsend.
