That includes paper work for such varied offenses as fish and wildlife law infractions, charges brought by fire chiefs against suspected arsonists, charges brought hv the state hiirpan nf in vestigation and alcohol beverage control center, and the gamut from traffic violations to murder. "l:\ervthing that happens here is unusual," said Bill Peterson, a clerk ot court.

The Chronicle contacted both his supervisor at the restaurant where he works and his comman ding officer in his National Guard unit and neither indicated that Davis had lost his positions. When told of Mr. Berry's comments, Mrs. Davis responded, "If I'm crazy and I'm lying then why did the court give me this paper saying that he's $840 behind? 1 guess me and the whit< folks are crazy."

One such man made four trips to the clerk's office trying to swear out a warrant against a woman he saw put a quarter in a newspaper machine and then take out two papers.
