On the 28th inst, one Barney Man.
ming and one Swan Hanson, two American
citizens of foreign extraction, the former a
son of the Emerald Isle And the latter a
son Of Morse Land, nett Yer having prop
er respect for the majesty of the law, got
gloriously drunk, regardless of conse-

ed for them and gathered 'em in. Hasler
fined Barney two dollars and costs aud
Swan five and costs.
On the same day before the same Justice,
Marshall DeKay brought one J. J. Ryder,
charged with selling liquor without Ii
cense. The culprit plead guilty and was
fined twenty-five dollars and costs. Not
having the necessary amount Of change
about him the Esquire thought proper to
send him up for thirty days.
A case in which the City of Red Wing
was Plaintiff and Francis McGinty Defend
ent, was tried before Esquire Graham FRI
| day morning. Verdict was given for the
Plaintiff, and judgment for eight dollars,
was granted in favor Of the city. McGin-
| ty being devoid of cash was committed for
ten days.
That old bag, Anna King, was arrested
one day last week, on the charge Of selling
liquor without the requisite authority.
She plead not guilty, but her youthful and
innocent ways were not sufficient to blind
the eyes Of Justice and was therefore
found guilty. 1t cost Mother King $25 and
costs Of suit to get4out Of the scrape.
Last Saturday afternoon a horse race
took place at the old fair grounds A large
crowd was in attendance. The excitement
usually attendant upon such occasions was
considerably heightened by little "un-
pleasantness" which occurred between a
cooper, drayman and countryman. 1t
appears that the cooper wagered a dollar
with another party upo9 )the result of the
race and the money wa{Rtced in the hands
Of the rustic: *hile ths crowd was view
ing with absorbing interest the race, it is
charged that Mr.. Rustic thought that he
might be able to turn an honest penny by
vamoosing the ranch with the two dollars
intrus'ed to his care. He therefore pro-
ceeded to vanish, but the watchful eye Of
the cooper was upon him and he was over
taken before getting outside the grounds,
and now the fun began in earnest. Cooper
charged Rustic with attempting to steal the
stakes and rustic denied the soft impeach-
ment. One called the other liar and a
william, and uisa rer,a. Quite an audience
