Jackson Argus – February 17, 1897 February 17, 1897
A few weeks ago we mentioned the fact that Bob Logue had been fined $5 by Mayor
Bailey for shooting recklessly on the streets.   He threw his hat down on one of
the most prominent streets and shot at it five times with a pistol.

He was indicted by the grand jury for carrying concealed weapons and to this
charge entered a plea of guilty.   The sentence of the court was $40 or six
months.   At the time of passing the sentence it did not occur to Judge Beck
that Bob had been recklessly shooting on the streets so the net morning he had
the young man brought before him for the purpose of giving him a much needed
talk.  Preliminary to the lecture Judge Beck inquired.

Why did you do that shooting?

Well, Bob responded, it was my pistol and my hat.

Well, it was not your street and you get $75 or twelve months, and the chapter
ended.

The find has not yet been paid.

Lucky Bob Logue

Last week mentioned the fact that Bob Logue had been given a sentence of $75 or
twelve months for carrying concealed weapons.  At the eleventh hour Mr. George
Thompson very kindly paid the fine and secured a job for Bob as convict guard
for the Bain chain gang in Jasper county at $10 per month.   This was luck for
Bob and exceedingly kind in Mr. Thompson
