PLEAS OF GUILTY ENTERED
IN JUSTICE COURT
The following pleas of guilty were
entered before ’Squire Loessin since
our last report:
A. Griffin, Frank Griffin, Lonie
Minton, T. C- Rolin, Willie Minton,
James Callen, Wilburn Rogers, John
Roller, Sylvester Duncan, Willie
Drisdale, charged with vagrancy;
fined one dollar ar.d costs.
P. H. Hoffman, charged with drunk-
enness, fined one dollar and costs.

ter the midnight hour. For many
years Mr. Solomon was engineer in
charge of the Southern Pacific branch
to LaGrange from Glidden, and re-
sided on East Travis street. His wife
preceded him two years ago. Two
daughters also preceded him in death,
leaving a sister, two sons, R. V. and
Eug. Solomon, and a good many
friends in LaGrange to mourn his
ffoing.
As age crept upon him, and his eye
sight became impaired, he vacated
the position of engineer on the rail-
road and sought to rest from his many
years of labor. Faithful in the dis-1
charge of his duties, ever considerate I
for his family, and a friend, staunch
and true, he established a firm hold
upon the people with whom he came
in contact. A man or honor, his word
was a gold bend.

years of age, of late his health de- j
