Yesterday afternoon, a burly fellow, much
the worse for liquor, stalked into Col. Uline's
real estate office and proceeded to belch forth
good deal of red hot vocabulary. Not con-
tent with words, he approached Capt. Carver
and began fourishing hatchet in close
proximity to 80 much of life as he, Carver, en-
closed in his head. Rather alarmed at such
demonstrations, Officer Baer was called in, who
walked the man over to the lookup. There he
gave his name as John Oliver and stated he'd
been working in the pineries On searching
him, there was found a revolver or double
barreled pistol with a murderous knife attach
ment. Oliver will be interviewed by Judge

Nels johnson is SEede with a disagreeable
penchant for the brutal practice of wife beat
ing. The parties reside in cottage on La
Fond street, but instead Of the mythical turtle
dove that is sometimes supposed to sit cooling
its love-lorn lullaby all day long, there is the
jarring discord of domestic infelicity. The
parties are evidently we'll to do, andHpresent a
very respectable appearance. The wife came to
the police court yesterday and tremblingly
swore out a warrant for the arrest of her hus-
band. The charge was disorderly conduct, and
Mrs. johnson alleged that her iege is in the
habit of shamefully abusing her and driving
her out of the house. johnson was arrested
and the hearing was called yesterday morning.
He denied the charges and asked time to prove
his good character. The case was continued
until 9 o'clock this morning.
Edward Davenport and q man named Car
nier used to room at the Nicollet house on
Fourth street. The former was shabbily attir
ed and scant of clothing. So one day, while
Carnier was absent from his room, Davenport
cabbaged his Sunday go-to-meeting coat and
vest and hied him to the place where real bad
crooks go, to-wit: Minneapolis. 1t came to
pass that GARNER discovered his loss and he
waxed thirsty for revenge. The affair was re-
lated at police headquarters and the sharp
eyed guardians of the law spotted their man
at the aforenamed town. Officer O'Keefe was
sent Oh the war path with little warrant, and
the bad, bold man was captured. Yesterday
morning he was before Judge Flint, who said
that he would lock the prisoner up until the
grass grew and the first crop of asparagus was
ripe enough for the fail of the husbandman.
The bad young man was then committed for
sixty days.
