r. F. Reid, Esq, Treasurer of Rock Island
Co., ILL.,

Dan Sullivan was arrested last Wednes
day night by the police. When taken in
charge by the minions of the law, Dan had
two sugar-cured hams which it was
thought he had stolen.
He was evidently more intent on secur-
ing drink than anything else, as he put
up one of the hams for a drink at a Ger
tain saloon, and was looking around fol
another saloon keeper who would take the
remaining article for a second drink.
The prisoner is now in the city cooler,
and the stolen articles are still awaiting a
claimant.

IN1EMPERATE.

Dick Beedin, of Andalusia, is in jail, and
the occasion of his incarceration is the fact
that Justice Smith of that place fined him
$28 and Beeden did not have the necessary
ready money to settle the fine.
It is alleged that the prisoner a few days
ago gave small boy some whiskey, and
he was hauled up for selling liquor to mi
nors, and had his trial.
The result of that judicial investigation
was that the fine was imposed upon him,
and the prisoner was conveyed to the coun-
ty jail, where he viii linger for the next
two or three weeks, or until his fine is
paid.
