Annolonius polonius Tucker brought to the police
office Yesterday under rather peculiar circumstances
Mr. Tucker is gentleman every inch OF MN I, ne
speaks and acts like onehe is recognized as one True
he ia to some small faults that learn
ed in Puritan school he will sometimes, when urgently
requested by particular friend to do So take little
brandy and water and sometimes he even stays away
from home until
gN;gbt,s candles are burnt out, and jocupd day
Stands tptoe on the misty mountain tops"
But then everybody fuckers acquaintance has been
disposed to overlook these little faults in consideration OF
the otherwise perfect conformation Of his character And
besides he has no wife to lecture him. Ia Caude upon
his arrival and Tucker feels assured when he stays
ont all nuht and comes drunk in the morning that

from his friends taken the cars and gone to

The female in question appeared to fuckers exagger-
