POLICE CoURT.-It is truly amusing dur
ing the morning trials at the police court
to see how anxiously the galoots eye the
crowd as they come into the Mayors office,
as if to see if any friend be present on whom
they can rely for bail. 1t is sad to, to see
so many who, did they refuse to "put an
enemy in their mouth to steal away their
brains," might rank with the first of the
land, degraded, despised and dishonored.
Great strong men, whose power and will
might move mountains. or make the "wil-
derness blossom as the rose" are there
shaking like decrepit old age from the ef-
fects of their debauches, or babbling Ike
their minds destroyed by strong
drink.
John German was d. d. This might be
rendered decide dly drunk, and do no
wrong to John German. But the d. d.
here, stand for drunk aud disorderly. John
is christian, but is anxious to be consid-
cred muscleman. Therefore striketh he
out from the shoulder. Tuesday night
John had been paying his devotions to old
ben, and as he homeward plodied his
weary way, he saw lamp post. Now a
lamp post is not an unusual thing to see,
but it is one of the peculiarities of benzine
to make man imagine that lamp posts
are obnoxious individuals. Such was
Johns case. Imagining the post to be an
opponent, he whaled away at 1t, missed
aud fell against it. Then he was mad.
he had received 'srib roaster'
from his adversary he sat at it, like ram
at gate post, and was in most infiama-
BILE state when the officer took him from the
scene of conflict and threw him, swearing
vengeance dire. into the calaboose. The
Mayor fined him $5 and costs, and in de-
fault gave him work on geology to study,
said work being very popular among PEN
niless benzinists.
Adam Boleman was about as drunk as he |
could roll, man. To save his soul, man,
not another drop he could hold, man. at |
least, so we have been told, man. A fine |
Of $5 was assessed on his poll, man. and in |
default to the 'boose went poor Adam
Boleman.
Ben. Sales is not heavy enough for Ben
Zine. The two Bens had tussle, a regu-
lar Ben Der. The fight was long and
arduous, but Ben Zine finally got Ben
Sales down. He gets them all down. Ben
Sales was fined 81 for taking too much Ben |
Zine. and the city treasury got the Ben |
E. Fit OF the money.
