A Heavy Dose.

George Wadsworth. the Reynolds sa>
loonist, has been haaled over the Goals in
lively manner by the grand jury. That
worthy body seemed to have special
grudge against Wadsworth, or else he is
a fragrant offender of the laws. After
bringing the greater part of Reynolds here
they found no less than four indictments
against him selling liquor without Ii
cense, selling liquor to a minor without
a license, selling liquor to be drank on the
premises. selling liquor without a license
in less quantity than one gallon. Not
withstanding the number and heft of these
charges. Wadsworth immedi ately fur
nished bail in the amount of $4,000, and
proposes to fight one and all of the in
dictments to the best of his ability.

A lady registering as F. E. Downes, of
Chicago, has been stopping at the Harper
house for the past few days. She is &C
companied by small Scotch terrier, who
acts as her body guard. Yesterday after
noon the lady and her dog started for a
stroll. They tried to get on the island,
but not having pass. the guard inter-
posed. She then started up the river
bank and following the c., B. s. Q. rails
road track, was soon upon the trestle
work which extends around the c., R. l.
& P. round house. This is a for
hidden path, and as someone
informed Officer Carey of the fact, he
met her when she came off the other end.
The female would give no account of her
self, whereupon the officer ordered the
patrol wagon, and dumping her in, took
her to the Armory. She there observed
sullen silence, but one of the officers
seeing that she carried the key to room
Sc, of the Harper house, he telephoned to
Clerk Willerton, who identified Miss OF
Mrs. Downes, and she was released. The
woman claims to be proprietress of a
dog kennel on Madison street, and says
she recently won $4,000 in prizes at a
Milwaukee dog shew.
