BILE Bowen found the boys In high glee
over the sport they were having with
chap on State street, who was making
desperate efforts to prevent the road
from flying up in his face. Marching
him to Jail, the officer waited until Mon
day morning, and then "Stev." came
before Esquire Stearns and took chair.

put out of the city, and make plumb
line for Chicago, where the wicked are
ALWAYS troublesome, and the weary are
as bad as the rest" And Stew. 1emong
