The municipal court was opened yester-
day morning to a full house. The at
tendance of prisoners and spectators, par
tlcularly the latter, was unusually large 1t
is SO every day. At 8 o'clock in the morn
ing the choice seats have been reserved,
and when the exercises commence there
| are but few obscure chairs in the court
| room auditorium remaining unoccupied
From o'clock until 10. 80 the door creaks
| at brief intervals, as late corners enter,
and with scowls of disappointment at the
| absence of cushioned chairs in which to
plant their avoirdupois, hang up against
the wall and watch justice adjust her
! scales. The spectacle presented by the
| throngs of idle men and boys who daily
elbow their way into the municipal court
room, is scarcely colored with encouraging
| the presence of idleness is due either to in
clination or the absence of work in st.
| Paul and consequent lack of enterprise
on the part of her citizens The
crowd is made up of the curl
| Gus, the man of leisure, the crook and the
"bu1n," interspersed with boys who here
| listen to stories of crime not calculated to
| impress them with horror for its existence
| nyolr ha i,,e
| actual experience. The court and the po-
| lice officials have come to the conclusion
| that the police justice shop is not a place
of entertainment for the class of Ioungers
that sit at the gate, and some day in the
near future, a wholesale arrest of visitors
will be made, when all who are unable to
furnish evidence of the possession of
visible means of support or legitimate rea-
sons for being present, will be sent out to
| crack rock for the city.
Thomas Kanley, the principal in the
tragedy oil Tuesday afternoon, resulting in
the death of Thomas Ryan, was brought
into court yesterday morning for pre-
liminary examination. His appearance
| was that of man unutterably dreary and
| depressed, and his monosyllabic answers
| to 1nterrogatories propounded by the
court indicated mind weighed down with
| gloomy reflections. Being without coun-
| sci, the case was, upon motion of County
Attorney Egan, continued until tomorrow.
Whenever there's dearth of business in
police circles, the courts, society, births,
marriages and deaths, John Smith accom-
modatingly bobs up serenely and supplies
| the missing link. Sometimes he bobs up
when there's no occasion for it. and yes
| terday, though the docket was crowded, he
came into court as smiling as Maude in the
| garden. He was arrested by Officer Getch-
ell and paid So for getting comfortably
tight.
J. A. Jennison and an auburn haired
| young man whose name was not on the
| records, we're arrested Tuesday night by
| Officer Mccarthy for smoking on the Wa
bashaw bridge. They attempted to palm
off the stereotyped story that they were
| strangers in the city, but the officer knew
| them to be old residents in spite of their
new suit disguises, and each was permit
ted to pay SO forihis fun.
Thomas Burns denied the right of Off
Ger McFetridge to inquire his name, ege,
residen ce and intentions while wandering
dDOuG tuo SLr06I6 GG yesterday
| morning, and was arrested In view of
| the fact that the obtuse Thomas was weep
ing to leave the city, and had in his pos
| session ticket hence to Dakota, he was
| discharged to 60 west and grow up with
the country.
James Coagley was racing and chasing
his horse over Wabashaw bridge Tuesday
evening to the infinite danger of the life,
limb and pursuit of happiness of
| those who from force of circumstances are
| obliged to make their journeys on foot.
He was arrested, and upon promises to ab-
stain in the future from making a Derby
Of that highway was discharged.
Chief Weber told his honor that John
Walsh was ''simple drunk" The dis
| tinguished reputation thus furnished, Sc
cured John ticket of leave to the work
house for five days.
A man named John Henler encountered
Officer Peltier on Seventh street, when the
former was in condition of demoraliza-
ton, fierce and untameable from the ef-
fects of Seventh street whisky. Upon be-
ing demonstrated with he manifested a
| disposition to repel the advice as an i'm
pertinence, and necessitated the employ
| ment of assistance to deliver him at the
city hall. The fuss cost him $25 and
thirty days in the Jug,
| Alexander Abbott was arrested Tuesday
night for drunkenness, Upon searching
him Officer McMahon reco vered a hoss
| pistol from his boot leg, and then charge of
carrying concealed weapons supplemented
that of helpless intoxication. He was fined
| $40 on each otfense and allowed two hours
| in which to leave the city.
Roulette Tosker, one of the colored
troops who come down here from the fort,
and fight nobly for exclusive possession of
sidewalks on the main streets, was found
by Officer Schaeffer, Tuesday afternoon
pursuing that pleasantly. He was fined
| $5 but as he'd blowed in his wealth and
hand't solitary pistarene, he was sent to
the fort instead of the workhouse.
| Hattie Brown, whose unfortunate career
was briefly detailed in the GLOBE last week,
was before the court again yesterday. She
pleaded guilty to the charge of drunken
ness, and besought the court to let her go
| this time, that she might return to her
home in Wisconsin whittier she would
| leave on the noon train. His honor not
