THE JAIL.
The run on the Jail was quite extensive this
week.
On Friday afternoon William Kenally, Of Strea-
tor, was brought in under bonds to keep the
peace. lie had threatened to dscmbowel some
unfortunate in that burg. He succeeded in get
ting bail and was let out of the hole.
On Tuesday Marshal Smith, of Mendoza, sent
down party Of six, convicted of vagrancy. 1t
seems that on Sunday the party had had a kcg
or so of beer and were making great disturb
ance near town, and when the police attempted
an arrest showed fight and were with difficulty
run in. James Hollywood was sentenced for six
months-iust long enough to let him 90 on his
next drunk New Years; Chas. Williams James
O'Brieu, Gus Lambert, George Richmond and
James Kelly got four months each They came
down from Mendoza in a summer wagon, firmly
linked together with shackles and chained to the
wagon.
John O'Keefe, Of La Sale, a red headed duff
fer, made little disturbance in that town on
Tuesday, and when called to order by an officer
pulled pistol and was about to shoot when the
weapon was taken from him. He was put under
bonds of 800 for attempt to kill, and came to
Ottawa in lieu Of the bonds.
MISCELLANEOUS
The present Grand Jury are "stayers' This
is their third week. They may finish today.
But the per diem runs on just the same.
Every jury sent out this term Of the Circuit
Court Except oEe) has been compelled to hunt
consultation quarters in the cellar of the build
ing, driving Kelly, an imprisoned debtor, out Of
his quarters, there being no other room for iur-
les.
The Young Ladies' Entertainment at the High
School on Tuesday evening for the benefit Of
their reading ROOM was more than usually good
The audience, however, was small and the ad-
missions were not enough to cover expenses
owing probably to the fact that a free temperance
lecture was going on in the next block. The
readings by Miss Wright were very enjoyable and
