How The Wicked and the Rtghteous
Honorod i.

How Tho Wicked and the Righteous
! Honored It.
The children Of the devil disputed the
honors Of celebrating Easter with the
4, children Of the Lord. The former
losfed, samblsd, drank. fought, swore
and were arrestep. The latter went TO
church morning and evening. ana those
of them who had kept Lent ssr'ct'y
| toasted in the evening and smiled . sign
Of relief at the end of Holy week.
The day was by no means barren OF
incidents.
The Catholic, Episcopal and Presby-
terrain churches drew crowds In the
morni =. The Congregational services
at Rensl,aw's Hall were fairly attended.
The Easter music which It was intend
cd te have ut the Episcopal Church was
postponed until next Sunday, on ac-
count Of the unavoidable absence OF MIR.
Charles Penrwe, the tenor. AT the
Catholic Church the Music was much
better than usual and was enjoyed ny
the audience.
In the afternoon all the world and
his wife, sweetheart and friends went
driving, walking and visiting. Some Of
the world also went with another feI-
lows wife or sweetheart. But every
body seemed happy, 10 that the other
fellow could not lie much pitied.
In the evening church, visiting
and quiet merry-making were again
in order with the children Of the
Lord. Not 80 the children Of the
Wicked One. They began early in tho
morning to get drunk, and by ten
O'clock were not only drunk but disord-
orderly, as show n by the Jail and Police
Court records this morning.
Early Sunday morning some little
boys on Montana street opened the days
doings by making felonious assaults on
certain almond eyed Cinnamon who
were carrying home the last weeks
washing. The wicked little boys made
general onslaught pelted the China
men with mud and stones and finally
shot at them with s:ing-sl,Ots wOunding
one of the unoffending Cele~tia's severe
" in the mouth. The latter then charged
on their prosecutors, and Montana street
aud school house square were soon vari-
egated with fleeing Mongolian kids pur-
sued by flying Cinnamon the latter pur-
sued by flying rigtails and the rear of
procession brought up by u detachment
of barking dogs.
Next came Edward Westlake who
was in disturbance on Main street and
is charged with having used pro:ane and
obscene language to one Frisco. During
the course of the fracas l,oIi"e officer
hove in sight and started t'arrest West
lake, who declined arrest and attempted
to give ley hail. so ut it they went,
Westlake in front and the policeman
making a good second. The fugitive
paying no attention to repeated en-
treaties to stop pistol shot was sent into
the ground near him, but this only in
creased his speed, and turning an alley
he was about to make good his escape,
when the officer gently intilnated that
il he did not stop another ball would lie
sent after him, this time on business,
and that nc, the fugitive, would become
his, the pol ;cen,an's ''mcat." after which
declaration Of war host,lities ceased,
and both parties adjourned to the Jail.
Wcstlakc pleaded guilty yesterday
morning and was fined five AMI costs.
Patrick I,yan's chronic affection for
the rum that perjs!'ctI again manifest
ell itself sunday, and lie too was sent to
the Jug whence lie emerged yesterday
to plead guilty to having been Il. d..
II drunk and disorderly, and was
sentenced to pay fine Of ten dollars
and costs.
Inspired with that undying love of
freedom which wells perpetual in tho
human breast Clarence Earle and John
ny Tuckerman left their comfortable
quarters in the city ]sastile Sunday
morning for parts unknown. They
probably wanted to celebrate Easter,
and bored 2jO holes in the walls ct their
prison, in which they had been since
Saturday, March 18th, awaiting the ac-
ton of the grand jury on the charge Of
horse stealing.
