POLICE COURT NEWS

Busy Time in Judge Dow's Court on Several Days of This Week.

On Monday Andrew Peters, a blacksmith of Lismore, was arrested and arraigned before Judge Dow on charge of assault and battery. He plead guilty and paid a fine of $5 and costs of $9.15.

Frank Koessler, the complainant in the case against Peters, was arrested on Tuesday on a charge of larceny. When first arraigned he plead not guilty, but a few hours later he changed his plea to guilty and was given 30 days in the county jail. It appears that Koessler stole some from the blacksmith Peters, who, when he found it out, administered corporal punishment to the culprit, the latter had Peters arrested. Koessler's arrest on charge of stealing followed, and he is now boarding with the county for thirty days.

On Tuesday morning Albert Zollmer and N.J. Bank of Adrian , were given a preliminary examination before Judge Dow and held to the grand jury in the sum of $500 each. They are charged with gambling. C.M. Crandal appeared for the state and G.W. Wilson for the defendants.

Ex-Policeman Henry Twitchell was arrested last Thursday evening by Sheriff Fauskee on a charge of drunk and disorderly. He demanded immediate hearing, plead guilty, and paid a fine of $10 and costs. After leaving the court room he assaulted the sheriff. He was again arrested and was arriagned before Judge Dow on Friday morning and his hearing set for June 4th. This escapade of the ex-policeman has caused much comment.
