officer Clouse in full baritone voice
opened the municipal court yesterday morn
ing with 'EHear ye, hear ye," which sailed
out over the noise of the rolling chariots on
Seventh and Wabashaw streets, Glove the
reverberations of a myriad of tirecrakers and
torpedoes in twain the mallet of his honor
fell upon his pulpit with a dull thud, and with
saltpetre fumes pouring in through the open
windows from every point of the compass,
the curtain rose on the case of the first NAL
efactor
Frank Bradley, who undertook to pay his
landlady on Thursday with a forged check
OF $36 on his father-in-law, Geo. w, Reese,
the contractor, made payable at the Second
National bank, had his case hung up for one
week, and was committed in the interim to
the county jail. 1t was a bad morning for
Frank to be listening to an accusation pretty
sure to deprive him of his liberty for long
spell of weather, while his peace-loVing fell
low citizens were making all the patriotic
racket they could outside the halls of justice.
Joe Conley, great, ugly. six-footed Mis-
sissippi river roustabout was next invited to
take the speakers stand, but his honor con-
cluded that he would forego a Fourth Of July
grafton from him and continued the hearing
of his case until Saturday morning. This
dirty coward met on Thursday afternoon on
the corner of Second and Robert streets
an aged one-armed German who
could not speak word
of English, and who had his tired little boy
on his shoulder, and knocking him down
rifled his pockets of So Officer Scheffer
dropped in upon the scene and gave this con-
temptible slugger Sioux war dance and
snaked him to the city hall. The old German
was waiting in the city for a train to Wheat
land, where he was to be met by his son-in
law who had sent for him to Germany to
give him a home. The 81 was given him
and lie was seen safely aboard the train for his
destination. The crime was really highway
robbery and state prison offense, and could
the victim have been delayed here that charge
would have been made instead Of that of
larceny. As it is, all the time that can be
found profitable to the county to keep Conley
in the workhouse should be given him, and
he should be given oXen's work when he gets
there.
w. Murphy, w. Hurlist, j. o. Hern and
NJ Mccarthy, a delegation Of drunken vag
rants with the dcws of many nights still
moistening their unllempt hair, the exhala-
tious of q SOUR mash barrel floating from
their lips, and the earthiness of all the coun-
ties lying between st. Paul and Denver ex
uding from their garments, were sent up to
the workhouse for five days rest from pedes-
trianism, thieving and guZzlng.
Dora Smith, just out of the House Of the
Good Shepherd on Thursday, for sentence
not here to be mentioned, and found prone
nading on Seventh street without cent in
her pocket that evening, said she wanted to
be sent home to spend the Fourth. On be-
ing asked where that might happen to be
about this time of year, she noisely replied,
minneapolis, upon which a tag was at
tached to her bonnet and she was imme-
diately shipped with bonds reserved for the
mid of all such articles of emigration.
j. Brown, for disorderly conduct, paid
$40 fine without a murmur, which showed
that he could raise the wind without resort
ing TO any such old fogy measures as ''the
sweat of the brow. Brown keeps saloon on
Fifth and Rosabel streets, and having a
crowd of noisy fellows in stock and full Of
benZine licked them out of his establishment
after they were strapped, and therefore, to
sustain the dignity of the law, had to be as
sessed.
