POLICE ITEMS.
The shoe store of John Bruder, 406
Main street, was entered by burglars last
night, and boots and shoes stolen to the
value of 5000. la making their egress
frola the house, the burglarious party
was discovered by Officers Orr and Met
calf, of the southern district, who gave
chase and caused them to drop their
booty in tie flight. The property was
thus recovered, though the thieves sue
ceeded in making their escape. 1t is
thought an entrance was affected to the
building by picking the lock of the front
door.
The African Esculapius, DR.. Tolls, is
in hot water again. A mahogany col
ored female, Kate Caldwell, sued out
warrant for the arrest of the Doctor this
morning, in which she charges him with
frauiulently and feloniously obtaining
from her gold watch by sundry false
representations. The case will come up
before Esquire Foley this afternoon.

after hours. z
No arrests had been made by the po-
lice of the northern district up to noon

J. W. Kennedy, who was arrested on
Thursday night on a charge of shooting
his comrade, G. c. Castleman, was up
before Commissioner Richards, at the
First District, this morning, and no
prosecutor appearing against him, he
was discharged, upon paying fine of
$40, imposed for shooting within the city
limits. Castleman is doing well, and, it
is thought, will soon recover entirely
from the effects of his wound. He does
not seem disposed to blame Kennedy for
shooting him, and thinks he never would
have done so had he been sober.
