Dalton Cohoon, young whit" man and an old offender on this charge, was let off with a fine of $f> and costs for being drunk, the court not holding him. as It might have done, for bring disorderly as well as drunk In view of the fact that the young man had been since Saturday night in Jail and the costs in the case wore corres pondingly heavy. Wilson Jones, colored, who gave his address as .larvlsburc when arersted. did not appear for trial on n chnrge of failure to stop at n railroad crossing, and his case was continued.
