Judge Porter, of the municipal court had
busy day yesterday. First chief of police
presented j. j. johnson for examination and
consideration, who on the afternoon of the
previous day in a moment of inadvertancy
and inebriation unhitched Prof Searing's

being pursued, jumped out and
darted up an alley. Mr.. Johnson having
been found in Anderson's saloon later in

Waterman Blake was informed of the cir
cumstance, and starting after his man found
him near the linseed oil mill astride of an
other man, and in the act of tying his hands
with rope. Demanding his reason for this
act, the tramp replied he was his prisoner,
and being asked to produce his authority,
said, ~ will show you my authority" jump
ing up and at the same time striking at
Blake with knife. Fortunately the knife
struck the polieeman's cane and thus was
warded off what would have otherwise been
a deadly blow. As it was the knife cut
through Blake's coat collar, and slashed the
front from the collar to the waist slash
across the arm drew blood. Blake most un-
tremendously knocked the tramp down and
took him to the lookup. In the fracas the
other man ran away, but in the morning
tramp supposed to be the man was arrested
and locked up. Eiddington had with him a
small boy whom he says is his son. The boy
is apparently about six years old. The boy
is supposed to be used in the window
business being slipped into open doors. The
police have arrested two or three more tramps
of desperate character and the city seems to
be infested with these worthless characters.
