Among the disastrous effects of last nights
wind was the destruction of valuable sign
belonging to Briggs & Merrill; the breaking of
window in Shutter q Golfers block; break
ing of De Frenchs sign, and sign next to
Smiths saloon, which officer Cook pulled
down to save the window. All the above were
on Jackson street. in addition to which the
fence of the shooting gallery was blown down,
corner of Sixth and Jackson streets.
A former employee at McIntosh's butcher
shop, named Charles Rumley, was arrested by
Officer DeCorsey, yesterday afternoon, charged
with selling meat and appropriating the sau-
sage. Last Monday he was entrusted with a
basket of sausage to sell on the circus grounds,
and cabbaged the proceeds. Since then he has
not made Ills appearance at the shop, but was
accidentally arrested yesterday on Third street.
He was under the influence of liquor when ar
rested, and will be sober enough to explain
this morning.
A young FLY belonging to county treasurer
Rice, tried to emulate the antics of a circus
sault at the corner of Fifth and Wabashaw
streets. Mr.. Rice stepped in the postOffice,
and during his absence, the whitfletree of the
buggy snapped, and touching the animal, he
received such an impetus that in springing for
ward, he did the double song and jump act
business In turning head over heels. The ma
terial damage WAS slight.
bifurcated brute, named Martin johnson,
was before Judge Flint yesterday, charged with
having engaged in the purely domestic pastime
of wife beating. His wife, a meek-faced little
woman, testified to having been villaiuously
mauled, and several of the neighbors stated
that they had been called to the house by
screams, and that the wretch had hold of the
womans hair. The attack did not cease until
Johnson was hauled away by the onlookers.
He was put on the rock pile for fftesn days,
and deserved ninety.
Wednesday issue of the GLOBE contained an
account OF q settlement of the case of Julius
Austrian against James King, sheriff, in which
it was stated that the judgment creditors of A.
Fl. Strouse had had satisfactory settlement,
and that legal proceedings hsd been dismissed.
In abiding to tho case the writer employed a
pleasant expression intended to characterize
the happy termination of thes obligation, which
was construed by the printer into term ex-
actly the reverse of what was intended. The
error was unintentIonal and the correction is
most cheerfully accorded.
In discharging the onerous duties of pound
master Officer Shields has to contend with al
most insuperable difficulties. Sometimes it is
the frisky bovines that refuse to be corralled,
and again the owners of migratory cattle be-
come cranky at what they suppose is the un.
warranted interference of the pound master.
An instance of this kind occurred last Wednes-
day. Officer Shields attempted to run in a
cow, when resistance appeared in the shape of
a woman named Mrs. Richter. The latter was
before Judge Flint yesterday, charged with in
terfering with an officer in the discharge of bis
duty, and the bearing was continued until to-
day.
The case of the City against John Lair,
charged with raising particular perdition at
the Ponyski residence corner of Fifth and Kilt
son street, was resumed in the municipal court
yesterday morning. The testimony for the
prosecution was submitted last Tuesday, and
yesterday morning the defendant tried to make
out defense. The testimony was in Polish
and the Interpretation very bad. 1t seems that
defendant visited Ponyski's house last Satur-
day night and tried to ring in on a dance.
They bounced him out, when he got even by
throwing stones at the windows. he made out
very poor defense aud was fined $l5 and
costs. Ponyski was also fined three dollars for
his share of the amusement
