O'Brien yesterday for striking Ethe-
opian Wick with a poker, for which
he was arraigned before Mayor Full
ton, this morning, fined $3.50 and
went to county hotel, to board it
out.
The next victim was Thomas Les
lie, arrested for drunkenness, and ex-
posing more Of his person than the
law allows, hauled up to the Bedwell,
yesterday, beastly drunk; brought
before his Honor, Mayor Fulton,
this morning and fined $3.50 and
costs-having no stamps, he is board
ing it out.
Lee Clark and Martha Y Dung were
arrested for roosting in Ballingalls
stable against the law in such cases
mado and provided; arraigned be-
fore Mayer Fulton this morning !,
fined $500 each, in default of which
they are fattening their respective
nasal protuberances against the iron
bars of the Bedwell.
Ncxtly, we have M. Ii. McBrid 9
arrested by Marshal Wood and his
deputies, while in the act of robbing
the store Of s. Clancy & Bro, last
night. This is an outrageous case
the fclon having deliberately broken
into the back door of the store and
carried of one load of goods before
being gobblod. Mayor Fulton bound
him over to tho District Court this
morning, in bonds of $500 90 for bur-
giary, and $500 90 for larceny
Not having 30 many scads, he went
up the spout, with title clear to the
penitentiary at the next term of the
District Court.
All Of which will do pretty well
for one day, considering it was not
very good one for scamps.
