Police CoURT-During the past week
the following persons were arrested by
the police and fined the amounts set OPP
posite their names
Bill McNeal and Nelson Hill two dus>
ky neighbours, allowed their dander to
rise last Saturday night and raised such
a hula bolou that they had to be placed
in the calaboose. They were bailed ont
on Sunday and were tried on Monday.
Hill had to pony up $l4,75, while Nelson,
who seems to be follower Of the old he
adulterer, was required to dance to the
tune of 5000
Sunday night while reconoitering
around the African church near the I'M
ion Cemetery Clay Anderson, one of ye
ancient Hams giz zard footed defendants,
was found snugly slowed away in the
corner of fence by one of vigilant police
and given a soft plank in the calaboose.
As he was dead drunk when found and
sober when turned loose, the kind hearts
ed Mayor only charged him Sc, - for re-
fIeshments and lodging
Wednesday last the police worked up
good case wherein one Crawford
Armour was made to size up to a stack
of chips worth Sl3,75 Crawford is a
colored man, attends the colored church,
and on this occasion tried to make q con-
| gregation believe that he was able, sin
gle handed and alone, to paint the whole
concern red, preacher, house and all
Ever on the alert the police smelt out
another case, all colored in which Emmett
Jones occupied a prominent position.
Emmett, it seems has transferred his af..
fections from his wife to one Mary Trice,
who, be it said, is just as hard case as
is usually found OF course the poor
woman who calls him husband is often
abused and maltreated by Jones. He
was fined $3.50 Mary, who is becom-
ing quite we'll known in police circles, was
required to disgorge 1918 for living with
Jones contrary to law.
Two of our citizens, J. NJ. Mitchell and
J. w. Robinson, had slight misunder,
standing and let their temper get the
best of them the other day. Mr. Mitchell
acknowledged his haste in becoming style
and was fined 50, which added to the
usual bill of cost in such cases, make.

Editor BoziUar Bulletin:
Your paper Of the Both ult. gave US
the first information we had of that fearc
ful rencounter between L B. Jones and
Dick Easily.
Jones was in town when the paper
came and was disposed to contest the
fact of his leg being chopped off But
we told him that your correspondent
must be reliable and there was no use of
denying it and he gave it up with the
consoling reflection that it had been done
so skiIlfully as to give him no INCOMES
nience whatever, not even the expense Of
calling q root doctor He requests that
you shall inform him in your next issue
which leg was cut off, and whether the
axe is still in Dick Easily or not.
Yours, in haste, YARBS.
We can assure our friend O." YARDS
that we know nothing of either Jones or
Easily and care less, but as We have bee
called on for further light regarding q
most discreditable affair which is said to
have occurred, an account of which we
published last week above the initials
" J. p c. and in order that We may not
be looked on as in any way connected
with such miserable joke we produce
the letter of the joker just as it appears,
without omission or addition, and refer
all concerned to him:

A NEW MANNER of catching rats is exciting
great interest among the returning household
crs in Madison avenue A barrel is filed halt
full of water. \ layer of powered cork is laid on
its surface, and over this layer OF corn meal is
sfted. a chair and a box or two are placed
unobtrusvcly in the neighborhood, whereby
the rat gains the edge Of the barrel. He sees
nothing but the meal. He has no innate ideas
which teach him to beware of the treacherous
foundation on which that tempting surface rests.
lie shifts, he leaps, and goes greatly down
through meal and cork to his watery grave. Ii
any of his friends see him disappear from the
edge Of the barrel they hasten after him to get
their share of the probable plumber, and are In
turn taken in by hospi,able death. The plan
seems effective as against the rats, but is cal
culated to destroy their confidence in human
