Officers waited for a short time this morning in the Warsaw city court as two cases were held up due to the fact that Mayor L.J. Bibler, city judge, was up a tree picking cherries.
When officers telephoned the mayor's home informing him that there was business in court they were informed that "The mayor is picking cherries." The mayor immediately laid aside his cherry pail, went to his office and fined and sentenced the accused who were before him.
