a Ouaer Custom ar.

Andrew johnson. a Norwegian was ar
rested By Officer Me,sch last night. at the
bridge guard house, near the lumber
yards. The man was drunk and disorder
", and became so obstreperous that the
officer obtained assistance and bundled
him into wagon neck and crop, and took
him to the Armory. This morning
Justice Hayden had the case before him
in the Armory as the man is rather q
difficult individual to move around. his
legs are both cut off close below the knees
and encased in leathern sheaths, and he
uses pair of short crutches to help him
in his ,locomotion, and also to assault
people with as he attempted to do last
night The man said nothing in defense
of his conduct but wanted to get out. The
Justice fined him $5 and costs, and he
was committed in default as 40 cents and
some pence were all that was found on
him. After he had retired to the cells he
returned with the officer and said be would
pay bis fine. with that he pulled from his
inner shirt pocket book well stocked with
money. from which he drew $40. The
man is about SO years of age. and the
portion of him that is left. shows him 10
have been powerful man once upon a
time.

Nellie Wilson, was 90 her way to the
bluffs at l O'Clock this morning. when
Officer Metsch concluded she would be
better in the Armory. The officer had
been observing Miss Wilson's conduct
generally during the evening and did not
think il was OF a nature calculated to I'M
prove the morality of Rock island. so he
gathered her in, and she was afforded an
opportunity of explaining before Justice
Hayden this morning. but further than
Saying she came from across the river, she
had nothing to explain. The officers say
this ia not the first time she has been
arrested. A fine of $40 and COSTS was
imposed. but as she had not the amount
required by the Law for careering in h
wanton and lewd manner, she was escorted
to the county jail. and will not see Bar
