For Small Boys as Well as Large Ones
Minor Matters.

| He was small boy for his age and when
hizzoner got into the pulpit yesterday morn
ing he glanced at the youthful cuiprit with
an air of commisseration. He bore the
classic name of Tom Mutually and hes was
charged with making sneak on the per-
formance at the Opera House. AS he stood
there in the bull pen with a tear meander-
| ing down his dirty face, making bas re-
| lief of whiteness as distinct as the lines on a
Winnipeg map, whith his hands jammed
into pal. Of trousers as dappled as q tea
store chrome, he looked very pitiful and
picturesque.
$50 you tried to see the show without first
interviewing the manager, did you," said
the court as he told the broken up young
Idea to come little closer to the pulpit.
"How you could have been so rash is mys-
terry, especially as the circus season is over;
time was, long time ago, when I knew a
boy. myself who used to make a sneak on a
circus tent and wasn't above giving them
the finger at the side show fakes, but there
was not so much risk in it then; the tent
was pitched on the dappled mead under the
blue canopy, and If a boy got caught he had
good chance to run, but why boy should
take heavy odds on seeing a variety show
snap in the pent up confines of city Opera
house, is one of the things l can't fathom. !"
The boy wept and after quiet little per-
sonal chat with the judge in which he agreed
to keep away from the Opera house for ayear
he was discharged.
The case of George La Fabril was some
what peculiar, as it illustrated how easy it is
TO-
charged with assaulting a descendant of
Moses named Donkly, and when arraigned
it transpired that the police had gotten the
wrong man, the fact being that the assault
was made by his brother. Donkly who is a
deaf and dumb unfortunate, did not appear
either, but it is undersood that his face is
pretty badly smeared up. The case was con-
tinued in order to allow time to arrest the
proper man.
A young man named Robson belonging
to one of the swell families of Minneapolis,
was arraigned on the charge of having hit
the red eye a trife to heavy. He came down
Tuesday night to see his girl, got left and
then bought wine until he had the blind
staggers. He was found in an entry on
Seventh street and was abhut to walk out
from third story window. A fine of S5 was
| imposed and he soaked his super to raise the
money.
| After couple of buns had been sent out
for five days the court took a recess until
afternoon.
At 2 o'clock the now notorious case of
Chas. Nagel charged with trying to be too
free with his hired girl, pretty Katie Wagner,
was taken up. Nagel demanded a jury trial,
and the seats were pretty well taken up by
those who had whetted their appetites in ex-
pectation of racy and sensational develop
ments. Nagel was defended by young
disciple of Blackstone who made a lengthy
speech on his motion to dismiss on the tech
nical grounds that the abbreviation "Sept. "
for September had been used In the COM
plant The objection was overrued, where
upon the lavender checked Katie took the
stand and began to relate her story in beau
| tiful high Dutch. Her testimony was sub
stantially the same as heretofore given, being
in effect that the accused came to her couch
in the night time en- diSltdbille and that when
she repulsed him he skipped back again.
The learned counsel then made another mo-
tion to dismiss on the grounds that he had
| not made a noise or riot, as charged, and
that furthermore as long as he was in his
owr house he had q right to prance around
in the airy raiment worn by Mr.. Adam in
| the garden, if'he had mind to. This mo-
| ton was also denied.
The case occupied the greater portion of
the afternoon, and after hearing the testi-
mony the jury brought in verdict of not
guilty, the defendant being discharged.
