POLICE COURT SKETCHES.
WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE, AND
NOT A DROP To DRINK


The long range of hot and dry weather has
already created considerable inconvenience
among the poorer classes of the community,
who depend solely upon the pumps for their
supply Of water. On Fifth street particularly
there has been great scarcity of water for
the past week. So much so that the citizens
have been using every precautionary measure
to prevent the unnecessary use of It from the
street pumps. Yesterday BENJAMIN Prater,s
little boy drove his horse and cart up to one of
these standing blessings, and was in the act of
hlling pail, from which to refresh the weary
beast, when Henry Vierkorn put veto on It
n by Selling the pail and starting the
horse off up the street. Now 1t came
to pass that Benjamin Prater stood hard by,
and seeing his son refused the public privilege
ne rushed up TO the spot, and waving defiant
gesture with his fist, said, "Pd like to have
you hinder me from getting water" Henry,
feeling that he was the lawful guardian Of the
pump, struck out for the pump handle, and
Selling it requested Benjamin to come on. Now
Il happened, unfortunately for Henry, that
Benjamin thought himself huckleberry for
all the Vierkorns in the neighborhood, and
not even hesitating to pull of his coat, ne
waltzed into the aforesaid Henry with knock
and crash, laying him on the pavement AFTER
the fashion of q corpse. Bread and milk poul-
tice and camphor acted conspicuous parts In
the afterpiece, and Benjamin was fined $50 for
obstructing the vision of his fellow-man.
MADE TO KISS.
1t was in the back yard of a private resi-
dence wherei it occurred. Henry Smith walked
in to Josey Washington and said, "Josey, you
mustn't throw any more of your clam-shells
and bones in de front yard" Josey replied
that he Henry Smith) was hired just to pick
up after the servants, and that was all he was
good for "All you amount to-" said Henry,
in reply, "is to make q good kissing stock for
Bill Sims" Josey couldn't take that from any
man, and seizing q brick she laid ii on the
point of Henry's proboscis with sudden alb
ruptness. Henry recoiled, laid down on the
grass backwards, and was just in the act of
getting up to tell Josey something of interest
when she danced up to him with large
butcher-knife and commenced furious assault
upon his struggling body. Some kind friends
standing by came TO his rescue, but before they
could relieve him she had cut his hands and
arms in several places. The casewas continued.
