GENTLE BARBARA,
Who is Accused of Cutting With a
Razor.
A Bakers Dozen of Recruits for the Work.
house.

The atmosphere in the police court yester-
day was thick enough to cut, and the vicin-
ity of the bull pen was like tan yard. Bail
| if Clouse held his nostrlls, and venture
some fly lit on the railing and fell dead.
The most savory case on the docket was that
OF Barbara Reynolds, the sweet scented col
ored damsel, who slashed her saddle colored
lover with razor. Barbara is bad person,
and when she puts her war paint on she
would ''just as lief'' spill blood as not. The
low down white trash, Ellen Gilmore, was
also in the pen, and Williams, the colored
dude, over whom the women fought, was
along with the crowd, too. Barbara s
eyes sparkled like those of basilisk or dia-
monds in a frame of ebony as she was
arraigned on the charge of assault with a
dangerous weapon, the other two being
charged with disorderly. The case was not
ready to go on and it was continued to the
oath.
Mark Smell, the sawed-off little man, was
up again for having been lushed. His nose
wore sunset tint and his plug hat looked as
if it had seen hard times. He said that he
couldn't stand being knocked around the
way the officer had given 1t to him, and that
he supposed he might as well be sent up
permanently. Mark is philosopher in his
wa, and there are worse chumps than him
in the world. Judge Burr said it would take
twenty days to soak the tanglefoot out OF
him and he went to the joint.
The case Of Jesse Thomas is that of man
gone wrong who originally tried to keep the
path of rectitude. He was hard up and the
other day he stole lot of tools from Martin
listed, carpenter. He was held to the grand
jury and committed.
Thomas Healy had looked on the booze
when it sparkled and it laid him out as flat
as pancake. 1t cost him ten sheckels to
square the court and he loosened.
Pat Conran had also tackled the red eye,
and when Officer Zinkelbach found him he
was climbing over fence on Rice street. He
said he wanted to see the match, but as it
was an off night for ball tossers he was run in E.
On the way to the cooler he hit the officer
with ii stone and all of these things made
the court fine him 500. He put up.
VIM. Degree, of La Belle France, imbibed
several degrees too many Of tanglefoot, and
then he registered an oath that he would kill
al the Swedes in the country. A couple of
the latter had him arrested and his case will
come up tomorrow.
He was manly looking young fellow with
a flaming mustache, which We'd in color
with tony scarf Of subdued scarlet, and she
was as plump as partridge and very neat
in black jersey and blue dress. They were
about to be married and he faced the music
like man. 1t was the old, old story, only
this time 1t had happy ending. What is the
| use to talk about their trouble
as long as they made it up. Judge Barr tied
the knot, and Fairchild blessed the banns in
the good old-fashioned way.
Dan Wilkins was charged with horse steal
ing. He engaged rig at Turnbull's stable
and forgot to bring it back. He was held to
the grand jury.
Six yags will subsist on wind pudding for
ten days, and several DRINKS went out for
half that period.
