Boynton had entered the not guilty plea the previous week in court. THE CHARGE was the result of a knife which Boynton is charged with pulling during a fight at the dance.

Judge Wright asked if any of the other participants in the fight had been charged, and, when told they had not, asked City Attorney John Ragan, who was present in court, to investigate the reason charges had not been brought against anyone else. The fight oc- curred at the Memorial building and the arrest was made by city )olice, on Highway 106 and Allnoch southbound on Highway 101 at the time of the accident.
