The police raided the home of ill shape conducted by Mahaia Griffith in north Defiance.
Of late there have been complains from residents of the vicinity of Mahaia's place that there was too much noise there Sunday afternoon and evening. So the minions of the law went after the fairy occupants.
The officers found, besides Mahaia, the keeper of the place, three of the female sex who are residents of the place and two of the male sex who were there on a visit.
They placed the entire outfit under arrest and ordered them to appear before the mayor.
At the appointed time the fairies were on hand and plead guilty to the charge of keeping a disorderly house and was fined $25.00 and costs.
The three women inmates plead guilty of being inmates and were fined $5.00 and costs each.
Only one of the inmates had money with which to pay her fine and costs while the others and the keeper claimed to be broke. They were given until 4 o'clock this afternoon to "dig up" the price or be committed to jail.
One of the visiting gents arrested appeared later and was fined $5.00 and costs. The other is yet to show up.
It is said that there are other places in the same neighborhood that are likely to share the same fate soon unless they mend their ways. (Mahala Griffith 336 Danforth, Defiance, Ohio 1899)
