cost 81 to replace the glass, whereupon he
put on a good deal of style and was gciug
to resist payment, etc. The alternative OF
jail or cash, however, changed his mind,
and he offered his check on Moline bank.
The Marshal thought that rather thin, and
he then went out and borrowed the money
and paid up. The Magistrate was lenient
in not fning him for drunkenness and for
contempt, but as it was New Years day
he let him off.
