POLICE PICKINGS.

Mike Donohue and Frau k Owens attend

man who was on duty at the time. Five
dollars each.

opened conversation with Catherine, in
dulgiDg in flow of Language more remark
able for its foTciblenegs and vigor than for
its purity and elegance. Shook made an
effort to retaliate, and gave her the best she
hsd iD the shop, but as she came to Nash

not to do so any more. at this, most
