HE FLED AWAY.
Leaving Two Wives and Policeman
for MOurners.

Something has got to be done with the
woman question:" said Judge Burr yester-
day morning, addressing the remark TO
Bailiff Clouse, and a GLOBE reporter. line
number of women with grievances keep IN
creasing every day, and the cases seldom
amount to anything. There is this dl1ler-
ence between the men and women VINO seek
redress or have occasion to come into the po-
lice court. As a rule when two men get
into quarrel one is pretty sure to knock the
other down and the police attend to the rest.
On the other hand, if one woman oerates
another the aggrieved party PUSHES into the
police court for warrant and revenge"
The reflections of hizzoner are every word
true, for as a matter of fact the woman ques-
lion with reference to the police court is be-
coming nuisance Each day women rush
into court on the slightest provocation, and
they seek to have the most trivial neighbor-
hood quarrels and misunderstanding ad-
justed in the police tribunal.
''How happy could he be with either were
the other dear charmer away" This is the
way Terry McWilliams feels, as he sits in
the gloom of his prison cell and wonders
why he was made masher anyway. Terry
was before the court yesterday on the charge
of bigamy, preferred by wife No 2, an ac-
count of his shortcomings having appeared
in yesterdays issue of this paper. The hear
ing was continued to the 18th, and in the
meantime the police expect to hear from
spouse No. whom he is said to have de-
serted.
The bail of McWilliams was fixed by the
court at 50, 900 and after the case had been
temporarily disposed Of he was turned over
to Officer Zirclebach. Feeling kindly dis
posed the latter consented to accompany him
to Mississippi street, with the view of getting
some friends to 90 on his bond. The latter
thoroughfare being reached the prisoner
asked permission to go into his house, stu
ated on that street, for a moment, and the
request was granted. Officer Zirklebach ac-
companied his prisoner into the house and
while there the latter jumped out of win
dow and although pursued by the offic9r, he
managed to escape, after a long and hot
chase, becoming lost amid the numerous
sand banks of that vicinity. Hopes are
still entertained of his capture.
George Doty is tramp and footpad; he
has hang-dOe look, and from the evidence
before the court he would quite as easily en-
act the role of assassin as anything else.
Monday night officer Call arrested him on the
railroad track near the levee as he was pur-
suing a stranger. In his possession was
found a villainous looking and deadly slung
shot, consisting of big stone knotted into
one corner of handkerchief. The rascal
was put out of harms way for thirty days.
Young Jack o. Bricn, the terror Of the gas
house precinct, was before the court yester
day, it being his first appearance for several
months. He looks as bold, saucy and devil
may-care as ever, and when asked if he was
guilty of disorderly he replied yes. He
knocked drunken man down Monday night
and when officer Calvin undertook to arrest
him he took leg bail and gave the copper
five mile chase. He went to the cooler for
thirty days.
Paul Hartel and John Siegal reside close
70 each other on Eagle street, but, acting on
the adage that familiarity breeds contempt,
they have a holy hatred Of one another The
mutual animosiity came to a climax Monday
night, when an open war was inaugurated.
They commenced with a standing match,
and Siegal brought things to focus by pro-
iuciug blunderbuss and shooting into Har-
.es shanty.a They were both yanked, and
yesterday the little circus cost them $50
each. +i''
Bernard Schiller was arraigned on the
charge of keeping fierce and vicious dog.
The animal made meal from the pants OF
one af his neghbors, and hence the arrest.
He promised to kill the canine, and the case
was dismissed. After the case had been
disposed of, Mr.. Palmer, a young disciple
of Blackstone rushed into the court, and,
saying, that as he appeared for defendant
he would plead not guilty, but he was in
formed that he was too late.
John Costello, dirty and thirsty tramp,
gobbled a box of bitterS from wholesale
drug house, and he was sent up for thirty
