BRIEF MENTION. Edward Williams,
twenty-seven years old, was taken out OF
the comfortable quarters, corner OF Gravier
and Baronne streets, and retired into the
first precinct calaboOse, because somebody
seems to think he stole gold watch, with
chain attachment.
Sarah Jones, when in trouble, makes
solemn declaration that she Is an honest
hard working washerwoman. but that Will
mot wash when she is caught stealing a
bundle of iron cotton ties from pile on the
levee. Officer Guerin looked at her well.
&c. Mowers sells groceries in Alglers,
mixed with some liquids, and for the latter
had no license. Constable Hollis became
aware of that fact, and SO trotted the man
Of illustrious name to prison. Many SINH
lar arrests might, could and should be
made.
The police continue to collar dangerous
+, and suspicious characters.
