ASSAULT CHARGE
RESULT OF FIGHT
Del Burch, worker at the site of
the ordnance depot, pleaded guilty to
an assault and battery charge before

day night. He was accused of enter
ing the P. & G. Cafe Tuesday night
and without any provocation began
to strike N. L. Hays while the latter

The affair raised quite a rumpus
for a time before order was restored.
Burch was fined 20 days in jail and
15 costs. A commitment was issued
Wednesday evening and he was taken
to the county jail to serve sentence.
