Police REPoRTs.-Thc City Recor-
der's Court Record, since his assump-
ton of the duties of the office last
week, presents n very meagre showing,
there having been up to 3ate only five
cases disposed of by His Honor. Fol-
lowing is the record of those five un-
righteous individuals:
Reuben Reed was as n reed shaken
by too much nitro-glycerine, and Re-
corder Hannon, to draw II mild on
Reubey, simply accused him Of being
drunk and disorderly." which charge
the reticent Reuben neither gainsaycd
but confirmed with his own truthful
lips; and so the Recorder inflicted
fine of S5 and costs upon Reube, and
all Reuben's days in the city Jail was
one night and no more. and he lit out
for other fields of conquest.
T. Miller, diins Unknown, was an
msuspecting victim of the flowing
bowl which we landlord In ye song was
importuned to fill until IL did run over;
and he was accused of ditto conduct
with the unrighteous Reuben, pleaded
ditto and was fined ditto.
"A jolly Teuton who had absorbed too
much "morning dew" distilled from
the fount Of Bacchus, became riotous,
hilarious and even tumultuous, and he
paid V and other incidental costs for
making the acquaintance of His Hon.
or, the bran new Recorder.
An American aboriginal, who has
assumed the name Of Charles Browne,
the late lamented Jokist, In some un-
known and surreptitious manner pro-
cured sufficient quantity of fire water
to cause his Indian blood to course
through his red veins with alarming
repidity, and the Marshal locked him
up for fear he would Immediately form
an alliance with the Modocs. He was
asked to donate to the city 1915, but
as his lordly tribe had always spurned
filthy Iucre, Mr.. 10 had not that
amount about his wampum belt, or
breech-clout. and he fares sumptuously
every day at the expense Of the city.
An 'imbubulously inclined gintle-
man av the Emerald Isle, may it place
the coort," who gave in his occupation
as that of an "inganeous and expart
weilder ov the ox-gad," expressed him
self as being "extrameIy happy to
obleege the honorable Coort with the
loan ov five dollars, in consideration
ov the gintiemanly and highly honor
able Coores youth and evident mex
periance in the ways of the woorld."
| And with polite obesiance he de-
parted to his team Of bovine qnadru-
peds.
FRoM YAoUINA.-A Corvallis dis
patch, bearing date of Jan. IA. says:
DIR. Carlile arrived from the Bay late
last night and reports that the Indians

urday night. The settlers have fortifi-
ed in anticipation Of an attack, Mr..
Garlic Is now on his way to the Gov

This petition was Immediately sent
to the Governor who turned it over to
Indian Superintendent Odeneal, who

the necessary steps to protect the sett-
lers and quell the outbreak.
