Students Took Switch Bars Again

Three students giving the names of Geo. Jones, Gerald Jones and R. B. Wilcox were arrested Saturday night charged with carrying away some switch bars from the electric railway - they were taken an Huron street. They were arrested under an ordinance forbidding the removal of property in the night time. Monday morning they were brought before Justice Gibson, when they pleaded guilty and were each fined $10 and costs amounting to $5.82. Two of the boys, Gerald Jones and R. B. Wilcox, although pleading guilty, said they had nothing to do with taking the switch bars.

It seems that these same bars were carried away Friday night also and that two students were arrested and tried for the offense before Justice Doty, where they were fined $5 and costs, but this did not serve as a lesson. The switch bars were taken for devilment, of course, yet the boys deserved the punishment meted out.
