Hoover, Edward - 1881

Jaw-Bone band.--
Last Saturday night the jaw-bone band was in town.  Shouts, oaths and generally beastial conduct made up the programme <sic>.  The leader, one William Christ, after vainly trying to discover a candidate for a sore head on Main street, went to the depot.  On complaint, the festive Christ was neatly tucked under the arm of a constable.  William was invited to give bail for his appearance before ‘Squire Reidenbach on Friday (to-day), at 1 o’clock, to answer to a charge of assault and battery and disturbance of the peace, and accepted the invitation.

Ed. Hoover will appear before Justice Reidenbach to-day at 4 o’clock and attempt to show cause why he shall not be punished under the law made and provided for the prevention of cruelty to animals.  Mr. John W. Hollinger instituted the inquiries which so nearly concern Edward.

In Court.--
Justice Reidenbach at the hearing of William Christ on Friday last judged that fine and costs, amounting to $15, and bail to keep the peace would about meet the case.

On the same day, and before the same magistrate, Edward Hoover paid costs and fine in the sum of $12.50.
