A young man of this place was taken before Recorder Williams this week and fined the sum of $25, his offense being the turning on of the Are alarm on the morning of Sept. 1st. This false alarm was the means of raising the community in a hurry at abqut five in the morning, and of course caused a lot of indignation when it was found that it was the work of some one who thought they were playing a practical joke. This young man has learned that the joke is on the other fellow, and we feel sure that in the future he will desist from playing such pranks on this community. Others were also im plicated, but this boy plead guilty and would not peach on the balance of the bunch. We refrain from mentioning any names this time but will not promise to do so in the future, should the act be repeated. The fire alarm Is not a plaything, to be turned on anytime some fellow feels In the humor to rouse the people from their slumbers, and Judge Williams will not deal lightly with the miscreants either Sergeant Charles L.

The banks have furnished a "TRADE ACCEPTANCE" which looks like this: j Z i n S ! o j r i H H I - W B ! & t.zs ! o e? o tt o i t (Sga.O O C I 2 . g je ' a E m o t. a a u W . w J TRADE ACCEPTANCE RICHARD ROE & COMPANY , Lexington, Oregon, Sept. 1, 1918.
