who has been on q sOjOurn there for sew
eral days By a private note from CAPTAIN

rest Of steamboat clerk In that city, for
carrying concealed weapons, makes the
following artful dodge:
The paragraph below Is taken from the
EYansYllle JOURNAL, and bears absurdlty
on It's face, for II q steam boat cleaE or any
other kind OF clerk should be arrested
foi drunkenness he would certainly know
tnab even u his case came 90 trial and he
twenty dollars; besides, Judge Graigs OF
the City Court, Is not In the habit OF im-
Pt93slns any klnu OF a penalty Tor the urst
oHence OF drunkenness. We are rather
inclined to think that the JoURNAL has
DeeIi taken IN as the whole story does not
seem To have much foundation.
The charge was not drunkenness, for
that charge against tho young man In
question would bear absurdity on Its
face" for he never drinks. The charge
was carrying concealed weapons" but
being STRANGER and q "traveler," the
Judge decided that he was not guilty OF
the city ordinance, but being
and desiring counsel, he engaged
3 lawyer at a cost OF $50, and was required
10 pay for his involuntary nights lodging
1t the "City Hotel"
II they locked up men for getting drunk
IN LoulsS lie, they would have TO turn the
Court House and Gait House into "Look-
1ps' to accommodate the prisoners.
