Watch for His Last Legs

BACK AGAIN.-Jesse Sinner, the Black
hawk county stock dealer, who fed for
pats unknown, leaving creditors and ell
dorsers of our citizens among the
number-to regret their misplaced conf
dence, turned up rather unexpectedly at
his home, near Laporte, last Saturday, re-
turning cia. California and Oregon In
the early part of this week his creditors
here procured warrant for his arrest on
the charge of obtaining money by false
pretenses, and placed it in the hands of
the Sheriff, who proceeded to Laporte,
arrested Mr.. Sinner and brought him to
this city, where he yet remains. We I'M
derstand that Mr.. Sinner freely admits
the questionable character of his proceed
ings, but declares his purpose to make
full restitution, asking no abatement of
the demands against him. He has been
ir consultation with his creditors with a
view of coming to some arrangement, ex
pecting the aid of friends in Blackhawk
to assist in carrying it out. In the mean
time, until the arrangement is complet ed,
he remains in the custody of the Sheriff.
Mr.. Sinner claims that his return was in
duced by considerations of duty and re-
pentance; and as we can see no other
plausible motive for placing himself with
in the clutches of the law, we refrain
from questioning his sincerity.

LEVI STROLL ever since his release
from prison in Dubuque, has been con-
fined to his house with sickness, apparently
quite severe. Last Tuesday night his NAL
ady took a turn similar to the attack from
Texas steers. Members of his family
aroused the neighbors in great haste in
the middle of the night with the startling
announcement that Mr. Stroll was dying.
Messrs. Peck, Raymond and others from
the Empire House, fastened to his bed
side and found him in very excited con-
dition. He declared that he had taken
strychnine and was about to die. He
took leave of his family, left some di-
rections, and acted as though he apprc-
ciated that his time was short Dr. Will
son was called, and instituted inquiries,
but only elected the statement from Stroll
that his troubles were too much for him,
and that he sought to end them by taking
ten cents worth of strychnine which he
had procured in Dubuque and kept about
his person ever since. Still Stroll did
not die, and the next morning his physi-
clans reported him very comfortable for
him. Where are people uncharitable
enough to say that this is all sham;
another one OF Stlohls tricks; but we
have our doubts of his perfect sanity.
D,,1, Il l. A..
rheumatism and neuralgia, he is undoubt-
edly in nervous state bordering ON in
sanity, and not completely responsible
for his actions at all times. He still
maintains, however, that it was strychnine
he took.

years.
Minnie was the beau ideal Of feminine beauty,
of clear complexion, perfect classical features,
brown hair, flowing in natural rnglets from a
we'll formed head; large dark eyes, soft and lus-
trOus; graceful form and refined manners. She
had natural talent for music and by culture at
tanned to perfection which few possess at her
age. Minnie's disease was dropsy and. although
she was sick for months, no person heard her muir
muir, but she suffered without complaint She
was beloved by all who knew her, and all her
schoolmatcs were her warm friends, which they
manifested by their kind attentions to her in sick
ness Minnie had great love for her parents and
they returned it as only loving parents can. She
was her fathers pet and her removal almost rent
his heart. We would tell her parents that Minnie
is not dead, and though they miss her sweet voice
at home, yet that voice is now far more sweet in

TIE CITY VERSUS RICHMOND. = The
right to override law and regulation with
impunity has been on trial during the past
week. Richmond, the keeper of the gen.
teel rum hole, in MANI Block, made up his
mind that he would not comply with the
ordinance requiring such places, to be
closed at 10 o'clock, p NJ, and kept
closed until A. NJ, but that he would
choose his own time for closing, which
was generally along toward midnight. t.
Mayor Holdridge, on the other hand, with
clear conception of his duty, and u firm
determination to perform it, that wins for
him the approval of all decent men, de-
termlned that Mr.. Richmond should not
be the exception to the rule of early clos
ing, especially as the other saloon keepers
show disposition to comply with the re-
quirements of the ordinance. The Mayor
according caused an information to be
filed against Richmond for violation of
the.city laws in this regard. The case came
up before the His Honor on Friday last,
Richmond appearing with three attorneys
at his back to fight the issue at every
available point First, demurrer was
raised and argued to the effect that the or
dinance was not law, that it had been re-
pealed; that it did not affect billiard sa-
looms, sc. These points overruled, the
next thing was to ask for n change of
venue The Mayor saw no good reason
for this, and refused. The trial was then
postponed until Tuesday of this week
The next point was to get a jury of the
right sort. The defense exhausted their
challenges and at last had to go to trial
with a jury who regarded their oaths more
than Richards interests. The testimony
was direct and conclusive The saloon
was kept open after the hour fixed by law
for closing, repeatedly, and defiantly.-
The jury returned verdict of guilty,
with recommendation that the fine be
light. The Mayor, not disposed to make
the sum large for the first prosecution,
fined Richmond 81 and costs, amounting
to $40 or $25.
As before remarked the action of the
Mayor and Marshal in this case meets the
hearty approval of nine-tenths of the
community. Men who are not known as
inimical.to the saloons ON general princi-
Piles, agree that the ordinances must be en-
forced, and that, as they express it, cit is
time that we know who runs this city,
Richmond, and such as he, or the proper
officers There is really no question of
the right of the city to make this regula-
ton or of its force in law. II is enforced
in two separate ordinances, neither of
which are repealed or modified in this re-
gard. The Mayor simply did his duty in
maintaining the supremacy of the law
and we are glad to know that the City
Council, almost without exception, APP
proved his action. It gives us all the
more pleasure to pay tribute of praise
to Mayor Holdridge for his impartial ad
ministration of the laws, as we were
among those who opposed his election
Those who habitually violate the ordi.
nances for the government Of our city,
may IS well wake up to the fact that there
is change In the order Of things existing
for the past few years.
