Swimming.

Along about half past four o'clock yes
terday afternoon a big gang of hoodlum
kids went down to the river just below
the waterworks, and went in swimming
One of the gang, very small edition of
the kid order, got out too far, and had it
not been for one of the section men who
was working near by, he would have been
drowned There is a city law that pro-
hibits the kids OR anybody else, for that
matter, from going swimming inside the
city limits, and we suggest the idea of
enforcing it.

Police Cnnrt.


George Debo struck the town yesterday.
He had been ont in the wild west skirm-
ishing around among the bull
PUSHES, getting the tail of his coat worn
off to reasonable length. He had ac-
quired a cowboy look, that was awe
inspiring to behold. He went staggering
about the city. An officer cspied him and
run him in on general principles He was
searched and revolver was found in
his possession. He was taken before the
good and only Chopper, who sized him up
S. worth. He had no money, so his
weapon of death was confiscated, and
some other things, and then he was
turned loose.
Casper Kungfman was picked up last
night in senseless condition. Don't
think from this that some ungodly slug
ger got in his work on Casper for such is
not the case; Casper was drunk. He was
incomparably drunk so drunk that he
couldn't stand, SO he done the next best
thing-laid down. He was hustled to the
armory, where he sobered off the effects
of his debauch, and this morning was
waltzed up 10 Choppers temple of justice,
and fined rs and cost He paid and de-
parted in peace.
