the past ten days when lanterns that

along the highway which were real-

passing, and to prevent accidents and
probably save lives, the commission-
ers court has had lanterns placed
to give warning. There is not a

when the other side is considered,
it is a dastardly crime. The remov-

Probate Courtin Session
O. A. Kendall, 12 years of age,
was given a trial in the juvenile
court Tuesday morning. County
Judge Chas. N. Sullivan, sitting as
juvenile judge. Kendall wag charg-
ed with burglary, and he was found
guilty, and released on probation.
His uncle, A. M. Yates is to take
charge of the boy and report to the
court every month. In the mean-
time, the boy is t« keep himself
straight and report to Judge Sulli-
van every week. His failure in
either case will revoke the proba-
tion and he will be sent to the State
Training Schoool.
All pas bills must be paid before
the 10th.
In last week’s Herald, we mentioned
the arrest of two young men who of-
fered to sell a setting turkey hen to
a local restaurant, when the proprie-
tor became suspicious and called the
officers. The young men, along with
the turkey were placed in jail. Read-
ing the story in the Weekly Herald,
Mrs. D. W. Wehunt, residing near
Newberry, came to town Saturday and
identified the turkey as one stolen
from her on Thursday morning. She i
stated to officers that a freight train j
stopped nearby early that morning, j
and the fireman on the locomotive |
told a bystander that he saw two ho-
boes come back to the train carrying
a turkey, and in all probability they
rode the freight into Weatherford. A
charge of petty larceny will probably
be filed against the young men in jail.
