"Goosie, goosie gander, where did you
wander, up the hill and down the vale your
fragrance sweet to squander." Thus sang
the bard of the bull pen as his eyes rolled in
fine frenzy, and he took another chew of the
narcotic weed yesterday morning. The in
spiration for the fine poetic outburst, was
found in the case of Richard Patterson-no
relation to the immortal Billie of that name,
Richard being arraigned on the mean charge
of stealing a goose. The complaint read that
one white goose had been stolen from Daniel
Grumblot, rag merchant prince of West
Third street. Officer Mcmahon was the main
witness and, be 1t said to his credit, he nobly
exonerated the defendant from the vile in
situation. He explained that the goose had
wandered away from its native nest and that
it had been picked up by a small boy and put
in Pattersons cellar. The case was dis
missed.
After the sweet singer whose Impid lines
are recorded in immortal verse as above, had
been drawn and quartered, hizzoner called
up the next case and things pursued the even
tenor of their way. The case was that of
Capt. M. F. Kelehar, of the fire department,
who was charged with assaulting VIM. Della
ney, of Minnesota street. The testimony
showed that about two weeks ago Delaney,
who is about twenty years old, called at fire
department headquarters, and that as he
entered some Of the boys threw some water
on him. He didn't appreciate the joke and
accused Kelehar OF having perpetrated it.
Thelatter denied it, when Delaney called him
a liar. Then Kelehar elected him with such
force as to separate one of the short ribs
Delaney testified that Kelehar kicked him
after he was thrown out. This was denid by
the latter and Delaney also denied that he
called the Captain liar. John Thera, known
as ''Bully john" and Henry Eschle, of the
department, testified in Kelehar's behalf, and
DR.. Quinn testified as to the character of the
injuries. The tenth rib the latter said had
not been broken, but separated from the car
hlage and there were also abrasions. The
testimony was quite conflicting, and in
summing up Judge Burr said that no doubt
the defendant had provocation for the as
sault but that it was quite a serious affair
and he should not have taken the law into
his own hands as no citizen had a right to in
flict punishment He was fined $25.
Peter Dewald, keeper of a saloon on East
Third street, was up for putting head on
Mat Jackets, his nephew. The latter's eyes
showed that when Peter undertook to do
man up he was no SLOUGH. 1t appeared that
Mat had been ordered to keep away from the
saloon and that he came in drunk and re-
fused to go out when he was given the
bounce. Peter was taxed ten bills.
The case Of the small boys, Alex Jerjinskey
and John Nespick, charged with stealing two
boxes of cabbage-leaf cigars from Seventh
-, IL.
inst.
When the case of Geo. Baxter and Fanny
Craschdeo was called the gang craned their
necks. These two were arrested under very
improper circumstances at late hour of the
night. They had been released in bail of S25
each, and as they did not appear, the money
was forfeited.
