steamer Baltic. He bruised around the
city during the day, frequently irrigating
his intestines with fire water during the
day, so that, about shutdown, he reached
the condition described as seas.over. While
in this condition his rambles took him 10
the lower part of the city, where, seeing
Mr. Gilberts buggy without an inmate, he
mounted the seat, took the lines, and start
ed the animal on round of the city. lie
stopped his turnout at several saloons,
taking fresh drink at each stopping place,
and finally lit out for Mound City. Here
he was arrested yesterday morning He
protested that he didn't intend to steal the
horse and buggy; and that, had he been
left alone he would have driven back,
found the owner and offered his profound
apologies. He was drunk, he says, didn't
know and didn't care what he did;
but in all he did, he declares,
he had no criminal intent. This plea may
prove very consoling TO the young mans
conscience, but we are apprehensive that
the law will not smile at such Quirks; but
will hold that he intended to do precisely
what he did do. This Interpretation Of his
conduct may do the young man great in
Justice; but it is anything but laughing
matter for stranger to come into strange
city, take another mans horse and car
riage, without notice or permission and be
found in possession of them twelve hours
afterwards, six or seven miles from his
starting point.
