Charles WEmer, arrested by Officer De
Coursey for drunkenness and disorderly
| conduct, pleaded guilty. The officer stat
| ed that while on his way home, Friday
| evening, he was called upon to protect a
| lady from the insults of accused. The la
dy had become terror stricken with his as
sauIts and sought refuge in Seventh street
store. The prisoner denied this imputa-
ton of his gallantry but the court deemed
his guilt conclusively shown and fined him
SIS or fifteen days,
j. P. Jones, arrested at Woods theater
Friday night for disorderly conduct, was
fined S25. He stated that on the night in
question a man went into the theater
and assaulted a lady there. The latter's
husband was absent from the
city, and he reproved the party for his
conduct. Thereupon he was assaulted and
any disorder alleged against him consisted
in the defense he sought to make When
arrested by Officer Larson he was very
abusive to that official because of his fail

ton of himself and the constabulary In
imposing the fine, his honor admonished
him upon the duty of a good
citizen when placed under arrest, and told

he might claim to have existed in connec-

stated to the authorities and not be passed
upon by himself.
