John Cremmens for disturbing the peace paid
$3.50 into the treasury,
John Pratt, for selling liquor to minors paid
a fine of S25 and cost.
The next case was that of larceny. 1t ap-
pears that man named Nels Larson had q
wagon shipped to him the Chicago, Mil
waukee IL ST. Paul road and its arrival here,
it was left on Water street in rear of Tornus'
hardware establishment. After being there
some time, an old gentleman named Graves came
into the city, and as it was just such wagon as
he wanted to get, he made enquiries to find who
was the owner, that he might purchase it, and
left word for the man, when found, to come
and see him as he wished to purchase. He went
home and told his son to get the wagon, which
he did. Afterwards Larson came for his wagon,
but it was gone, and although he made enquiry
he could not find it. He at last found out where
it was, and had VIM. Greaves arrested for taking
the wagon. The judge considered there was no
attempt at fraud or intention to steal the wagon,
and the case dismissed

value of the different articles, and said she had
