Of a red headed drunken bruiser who
makes this city his home. He has on nu.
merous occasions been arrested BY the po-
lice for violating the laws Of the city gov
eminent. Every time he gets arrested he
celebrates the occasion by resisting and
abusing the officer who happens to nab
him.
William Young is the name Of young
railroad man in the employ Oi the Pacific
railway company As brakeman. He has
not resided in this city very many weeks,
but during his residence here has made
himself anything but an enviable reputa-
ton BY his bad behavior.
Last evening found the two above indi-
viduals in East Sedalia, and on the out
side of a large quantity Of bug juice.
When in that condition both are exceed
ingly boistrous. During their perambu-
lations about that end Of the city they ran
across colcred lad. They assaulted and
abused him shamefully, drawing knife
and attempting to cut him. This was only
prevented by the colored lad getting out Of
their way. Officer Meyer, who does duty
in that end Of the city, was informed Of
their treatment Of the boy. He took him
with him and started out to hunt the as
sailants up. He soon run across them,
and they were identified BY the boy. Know
ing the character of the roughs, he knew
he could not handle them both; so he
summoned officer Henry Masonhall, who
resides near where the men were found.
While Meyer had gone after Masonhall,
the two roughs visited the store ii Mr.
Boatwright, where, because lac wouldn't
sell them some tobacco without the cash,
they raised another disturbance BY threat
ening to tear up the store, and using bad
language. Mr.. Boatwright ordered them
out OF the store. They both went as far as
the door, but still KEEP, up using bad Ian
guase.
Mr.. Boatwright went behind his counter
and got his revolver, and started towards
the door, when Young tipped ont. "Tex-
as" still held the for, however, and was
still there when officers Meyer and Mason
hall put in an appearance, and ar
rested him As usual, he resisted, and
the officers had to use their nippers and
clubs before he would consent to being
He was locked up and the
officers returned to hunt Young. They
found him in a saloon, but he got a glimpse
OF the officers before they got their hands
on him and ran. Meyer took after him,
and, after a short run, Young attempted to
run through a board fence. He didn't
succeed, but Meyer did-in capturing him,
and he was also Locked up. No sooner had
they been locked up than did they COM
mense raising terrible noise by yelling.
Texas yelled sire ~ at the top Of his voice
for about half an hour. The boys around
the station concluded that he had yelled
long enough, SO they turned the fire hose
On him. This had the desired effect-to
extinguish the noi>e-and the water was
turned of.
This morning both were taken before
Recorder Fraker. Young was charged
being drunk, disturbing the peace and re-
'isting an officer. He pleaded guilty, and
vas fined SO.
Texas" pleaded guilty to being drunk,
nut wouldn't plead guilty to doing any
hing else. He was found guilty to being |
trunk and resisting an officer, and was
ined Sl5.
For want Of cash they were both sent |
'elow. They should both be put on the |
'ock pile and work it out.
