On Saturday Dennis Hayes got fuller than
usual and declined Officer Demeritt's invita-
ton to retire from the street and cool off.
The officers next step was to offer him
assistance. This he resented, and made
known quite forcibly his intention to re-
main before the people. But somehow
when officer Demeritt disagrees with a
victim the victim is invariably the one to
cave" and Dennis went. Justice Hinkley
charged him $40 and costs. Dennis thought
this pretty strong and took an appeal. The
case will be tried during the present term.
