Morris tribune., 1883-08-18

abused cucumber, green corn. new
cabbage, health giving squash and
enough fruit to have retired all the
bad boys in town if some benificent
person had only purchased it and
given it to them.
If our Mayor and Aldermen will go
into the lock up on tour of inspec-
ton, aud say it is fit place to put a
man into, either drunk or sober, we
will give it up. The smell hailing
from the window is enough to make a
Major General throw up his commits
sion, and so stagger government
mule that he could not eat his oats.
If the Marshal should refuse to impris
on any one in there, he would be but
doing his duty to suffering humanity.
Three days confinement there might
give person most any ordinary
disease that flesh is heir to.
Last Wednesday +. J. Bowman, and
DIR. J. n. Allen, Dentist, called upon
Maginnis & Callahan. Bowman want
ing to purchase Harvester of them
on time. Bowman represented that
he resided at Herman, owned two
hundred and forty acres of land, and
FIVE hundred dollars worth of personal
property; which representation DIR.
Allen said was all true of his own
knowledge, but all of which was
wholly false. Bowman succeeded or
partially so, in freezing on to the har-
vester, when Maginnis & Callahan APP
piled to Justice of the Peace Hutchins,
for a warrant for their arrest, in OBJ
tanning goods under false pretences.
Bowman was arrested here in town,
and DR.. Allen was arrested yesterday
by our village marshal at Herman
and brought here; the examination
was to have come off yesterday but
owing to the absence of County At
toney G.. L. Brown, the case was adj
journed until August 25th. Such g
piece of rascality has not been practic-
ed upon our business men here for g
long time.
H. Estby was gyrating around town
here the other day, with his team
drunken than a lord, turning short
corners by the skin of his teeth. His
companion in arms, could no longer
stand the narrow escapes they were
exposed to, by the team flying hithel
and yon through town, and parted
company with him. Estby went or
playing his hand alone, in violation
of our good citizens kind admonitions
and started off up the street on his
way rejoicing, but finally ran into 6
low place near the rail road, and ovel
he and the buggy went. Several by
ISLANDERS went to his relief, bringing
him and the team in, and putting
them in charge of the marshal. Aftel
a long hard tussle he was landed OF
all tours in the lock up, discouraged
looking individual. He looked some
what lonely, and for the sake of keep
ing him company, the marshal took ;
tramp named Stevens who was snooz
ing in box car, and put him by hi
| side. Thinking that misery lovet
company, the marshal, to comfor
them, arrested rough named JOIN
Gleason, and put him in the coole
also. Gleason not admiring the beaut.
of his contracted quarters, climed VI
the stove pipe hole, the stove pip
being away, and with his meat axe 0
a pocket knife, he was allowed t.
have for cutting tobacco with, com
menced gnawing hole through TIN
gable end of the lock up, when he Wa
discovered by some one passing. TIL
alarm was given, and Night Watch
man Noting appeared on the spot
directed his shooting iron at the hol
with Gleason's body protruding there
from, into the darkness of the night
He was politely requested by the nigh
watch to back up, but not until tn
marshal arrived upon the scene c
action could he be induced to do sc
He was then chained up for the night
In the morning he was fined $40, b.
Justice Hutchins, Stevens was pei
mitted to jump the county, and Estb
is yet in the tight grip of the law
Tramps, Migrants and loafers, have n
love for Morris.
