The next case presents the exercise
of arbitrary power in inficting outrage'
on the rights of citizens, worse ever
than the last arrest Of lobe Vance
who wasn't dom nuthin.' This
shows how man was rudely snatcheC
from his employment, was hurled into
the calaboose and thence dragged re
morselessly to jail and forced to labor
on the chain-gang for ten days. ThlnF
OF it, citizens A man taken from hl'
WORK! Doesn't your blood boil
YOUR har stand on eend, and your better
nature revolt against such an outrage
All, YOU want to know first who 1t Il
that was at work 1t was-now don
start and say the thing impossible, fol
the abused hero told us himself that he
was working like bottle of yeast wher
arrested-it was the gentle Boose Lea
sure We can see the smile Of incred
ulity with which you receive this in
formation, hut Boose has reformed, anc
in proof of this states that he has beer
at work; that he had resolved never
again to taste benzine, fusil oil or kin
dred drinks; that temptation came tc
him in the shape OF Gooseberry anc
Others of that ilk, and that he was ar

company. 1t appearing to the satlsfac
ton OF the Court that Boose had beer
pretty tight, he was fined 81 and costs
Of course he joineth the geological elias:
for ten days. Boose told us confden
italy that if any generous citizen would
pay his fine and give him five dollars
he'd abe dad-fetched if he wouldn
leave the doggoned town for good.
Who will be the Generous Citizen.
