Officer Sheehan picked up n
drunken man on Pacific avenue at ten
o'clock last night, ana extended to him
the hospitality Of the clty-calaboose.

"A listicuif occurred between n
couple Of negroes, drivers of express
wagons, last night at the Texas and
Pacific depot. No arrests, as they had
cleared out before the police arrived on
the scene.
Judge Hunt will take up the GRIM
inal docket right away, and expresses
his intention Of getting through with
1t without loss OF time. There are
