Rendered in the Municipal Court Yester- |
day Morning With the Causes that Pro- |
cured Their Rendition-Worthy of Pera- |
sal and Consideration.
Earnest Rice guessed he was drunk on
Wednesday, when interrogated yesterday
morning with reference to his condition |
On that day. The court guessed the same
way, the states attorney ceincided, and Of |
ficer Murphy sized up to the same conclu-
sion. Such HRanimity of opinion was
justified by the facts and the penalty i'm
posed upon tho accused WAS commensurate
with the gravity Of the offense.
Gideon Benjamin and John O'Neal were
objects of interest to Officer Evans Thurs
day night on East Seventh street. Their
language was uncompromisingl vulgar,
but entirely in keeping with that of men
bereft of sense. They were both taken
charge of for the night, and yesterday
morning being unable or unwilling or
both, to furnish any adequate excuse for
their disorder Or compensation for its
com mission, were sent to palace on the
banks of Lake Como, totally different
from that the description of which charmed
| the proud beauty Of Lyons into marriage
with the gardeners son.
'rll never get drank any more was the
concluding sentence of Lottie Fay Wadaes-
day morning, upon the payment OF fine
| assessed against her in the munici Qal sourt,
for pronounced inebriety. I've got

| tinusd, "and Pa going back to the green
| fields of Wisconsin, to commence new
| life and become once more a $ood girl"
Lottie departed from tee coart room
| and went out into the sunshine, to her
| desolate home, to prepare for her journey,
! to put Of the old Adam and renew com
paniohship with the blessed association of
home and friends.
About 1 o'clock yesterday morning a
voice of discord was heard above the storm,
that ragged across the wild waste of the
great city. It was the voice of one giving
expression to vile language and refusing
to be suppressed.
Upon proceeding to the locality whence
it emanated, an officer discovered lone
woman upon whom the raire was descend
ing pitilessly, and very much exercised.
1t was Lottie Fay.
Lottie Fay was fighting drunk.
For the next fifty-fve days she will re-
side at the Woman's Reformatory.
Charles Ashton sought to supply the alb
| sence in his wardrobe of la-de-da spring
overcoat Dy the theft Of one of fashionable
make and exquisite decorations belonging
| to a traveller, and for which he had paid
out his elegant wealth. This high handed
| proceeding could not go unrebuked, SO
Ashton was arrested. Yesterday morning
the hearing of the evidence was continued
until Monday, by which time it is thought
| sufficient will be forthcoming to eatitle the
| accused to q summer residence at Still
water. Meanwhile he remains in durance.
One Of the ubiquitous Jones family whose
| cegnomen is William, was arraigned for
| drunkenness; a failing too common to be
| guarded against even by men more alb
stemiSus than the prisoner. 1t may be q
matter of interest to the public, to be in
formed that William will be restrained
from an indulgence of his bibulous pro-
| elivities for the next ten days.
Nelly Rice came into court again yes
terday morning. She was accompanied by
two little girls, she called fondly her own,
pug cog and an officer. Nelly is proper
~ entitled to the pseudonym of 'Short
and Dirty" She was charged with con-
| duct unbecoming mother and lady, and
admitted through her tears that the charge
was founded upon fact. The accusation
was further substantiated by the evidence,
| and though she begged in accents wild for
one more chance to retrieve her reputation,
the court decided that fine of $50 and
ninety days in the Woman's Rsforma-
tory, were The proper capers in her
case. AS she retired from the court room.

young man named William johnson !
was found dreaming ia an out of the way |
place, rarely visited by ladies ana gentle |
men except by chance. He was presented |
to the court by Officer Casey as a vagrant, |
and Sc considered until he told his story. |
1t was to the effect that he came down
from Saltwater Wednesday, where he had |
been employed as a telegraph operator,
with $175 in money upon his person. OF
this he had been robbed and having no
means to procure bed, improvised one
for the time being. He inspired the iu-
dicial breast with sympathy and was Civ
en- twenty -four hours to leave the city.
The same disposition was made of the
case of John Semple, who was charged
with an offense similar to that alleged
against William johnson. He was found
IN car in the Milwaukee yards, and re-
tuslng to vacats was arrested. He had a
sick family at Milwaukee, and boarded
the train at Portage. His story was plaus-
IDLE and he left the city by order of court.
Slater Gleason, accused of making
Dick Dsadeye of Robert Cruikshank on
Tuesday night, pleaded innocence when
called upon to define his position. Cruik-
shank swore he'd been done up by Gleason
and supplemented his testimony by an ex
hibition of his wounds. Gleason swore
that it was not so, and introduced nun '
