Yesterday evening he went to police

for the fine and costs. The clerk refused
to take the individuals signature as Sc

with him. The noise brought Col. Beau

Broekey to leave, and finally showed him
toward the door, using his boot to assist
his speed. Brockey did not like this way
of doing business, and applied to Esquire
