Didnt Want to See Him
Monday morning Squire Berry heard
the complaint against Samuel Ball and
90n John H They wero fined 85 and
costs each amounting to i320 in eafcli
instance John paid but the father
appealed the case Both wero charged
with disturbing the peace and quiet of
Sheriff II I Petersons home A daugh
ter of Mr Ball is working for Sheriff
Peterson The father called to see the
daughter who locked herself in a room
in the sheriffs residence and refused to
see the father who threatened to force
the door It seems that father and
daughter were not on good terms
Hence the complaint
John Ball after this case was over
swore out a warrant for tho arrest of
George Fowler father-in-law of Sheriff
Peterson charging Fowler with carry
ing concealed weapons Fowler then
made similar complaint against Ball
The hearing in both cases is set for
July 3rd
