Ben Morris, a
Ben Morrison, a young fellow working on a farm in Round Lake township, was
arrested last Friday for stealing a $6.50 suit of clothes from in front of the
store of Walker & Austin, in the village of Round Lake. Morris was given a
hearing on Saturday before Judge Dow, when he plead guilty and was given his
choice of a fine of $25 and costs, or 60 days in jail. He chose the former, and
on Monday paid up and departed a sader and wiser youth. It was evidently his
first deviation from the path rectitude, and it is to be hoped it will be a
lesson that will last him a life time.
