Il HEAVY GRISE.

One of the Largest DOcketS Ever known
in the Police Court-A Collection of Fa-
miliar Faces.
The Monday matinees at the rolice
court are always well attended, but should
they continue to increase in popularity
the council will be called upon to enlarge
the police court. The attendance yester-
day was fearfully large, and when hizzoaer
got up on the bench there was standing
room only. Both pens were filed with
prisoners while nondescript gang filled
the space outside of the railing. 1t would
be difficult to say what brings them into
the court room, and when once
there why they remain, as their limitations
are so far back from the bench and witness
stand that they cannot hear what is going.
Still they stand there and wink their eyes
and cape in wonderment. But fellow
feeling makes US wondrous 8 kind
and perhaps they are cogitating of the
time when they will be in the menagerie
the chief objects of attraction.
The first case OF interest to be ventilated
was the free fight in the Central house, on
Minnesota street Sunday morning. There
were arraigned for engaging in the fight
Fred Anderson, John Pete, John Nelson,
Emil Peterson, Louis Olson, @. G. Lee and
John Lindquest. The hearing occupied
over an hour and the ease was badly mixed.
Nelson, the landlord, testified. He said,
they make little fight; don't know what
to do; then three fellows go out; ask Lee
for de key and den go to bed
Mr.. Murray-"Do you always go to bed
when there is a row."
Witness-"Yes, 1 do.
Murray Then you arean improper man
to keep saloon" At this the gang burst
into laugh, when the court said that if it
occurred again he would clear the room.
The testimony was very conflicting, but
it appeared that in the early part of the
evening there had been a dance; that the
defendant, Lee, had mashed several OF the
girls, which made the others mad; about 9
o'clock several Of them went to his room
and tried to batter in the door; he and his
partner went into the hall where a general
fight took place in the course of which
Anderson got slashed in the neck by Lee,
who used an Arkansaw toothpick. During
the trial one defendant insisted in putting
i'll his lip, when Mr.. Murray ordered the
bailif TO bring out the muzzle.

at lhe wind NJ, when bottles and beer
glasses were SHED at him. The defend
ants, Anderson and Pete, were discharged,
