Mr.. NJ. J. Cummins has lost about twenty of
his valuable sporting dogs within the past
week, the distemper having broken out in his
kennels on West Third street. The average
value of the animals was about $35 each
After IL o'clock last night Officers Hanft and
Casey brought in man to the station who had
on his person new silver five ounce watch
case. He played the simple drunk to perfec-
tiop, but could not fool the men he had to
deal with. His explanations will be heard in
the municipal court
Warrants were issued for the arrest of the
parties, both male and female, engaged in the
disreputable ruction Saturday morning at the
house of the woman Morton. 1t will be in
teresting to see if the parties are arraigned in
the municipal court this morning. If not, it
would be well to inform the public why.
Work on the union depot is progressing, al
though slowly, on account of the extreme cold,
which retards the bricklayers' work very ma
terially. The carpenters have yet to put up
the wing next Third street, and all the trusses
over the main corridor are yet to go up. These
trusses are to support the roof of the structure,
which will require considerable time for CON-
pletiOn after everything is ready.
In the matter of the escape of w. O. Dun
can, horse thief, who escaped yesterday,
Officer DeCoursey desires to state that he did
not accompany the prisoner to the depot nor
anywhere near it. Sheriff Manerfeldt gtold
DeCoursey that his services were no longer
required when they had got within half block
of the depot and he consequently returned to
his beat. Afterward the prisoner escaped.
The sheriff seemed toybe little ''off' himself,
and tho prisoner was off in hurry.
Last night about - o'clock officer Hanft ar
rested I. w, Evans and another negro who
were fighting in front of Evans saloon at Fifth
and Minnesota streets. The outside moke
with whom Evans had the row is pal of Geo.
Morton's, and 80 far "a can be learned the row
was started on account of the jealousy exist
ing between the two ranches. When the re-
porter left the station Evans was anxiously
awaiting an order from the chief to admit him
to bail, as he had plenty Of money
large audience assembled at the Atheneum
last nigkt to enjoy the excellent entertainment
given by the Mannerchor singing .society and
Prof. Seiberts complete orchestra. In point
of numbers and artistic quality those enter
tainments are greatly increasing in popularity
and last night the splendid programme evoked
the liveliest interest and enthusiasm. The
vocal selections were given by some of the rec
ognized talent of the city and tho music was
bright fresh and captivating. Altogether it
was rich treat and in the highest sense en-
joyable.
Again does the GLOBE call the attention of
the municipal authorities to the
miserable and abiect quarters provided for
dodgers at the city hall, which are not worthy
the name of Accommodations. The positively
criminal neglect with which this subject is
treated was never more forcibly illustrated
| than last night. The worse than a pig-pen
| quarters, space six by ten or twelve feet, ad-
joining the cells, were crowded to suffooation
| by those who sought refuge from the bitter
| cold. As early as o'clock the oubby-hole
| was choked with humanity and old men, vast
| ed with disease and age, and in clad rags, were
compelled to stand all night. And then some
| of the poor wretcbes could not find standing
| room. This is not maudlin seutimentality,
| but the Gods truth of what burning dis
| grace and shame. This, gentlemen, is in the
face of your vaunted reform, philanthropby
and civilization.
