POLICE COURT.

Peter Doyle took his seat in the chair set
apart for certain class OF visitors to the
police court yesterday. Peter had been up
late. he had imbibed freely, so freely that
Peter did not know whether he Was riding q
bronco or a stree. car; whether he wss living
in prohibition state like Kansas or Tree
beer state like Missouri. So when he took
his seat in front of the judge he looked
uncertain in his bearings and had that far
away look that sent conviction home to him
with small amount Of evidence. 1t was
not necessary for the prisoner to plead
cuilty-iris countenXnce had drunk all over
it and the court set opposite his name
drunk and So and costa"
f. Thomas was another drunk-the fact
is he drunk up all his money and when the
court give him s. and costs to liquidate he
had il not and in consequen ce was sent up
to the cooler.
r. Mcdaniel, VIM. Smith and James
Brown were q trio of DRINKS who have been
taken in out of the wet for being too wet
inside with tanglefoot. When asked what
they had 10 say for being drunk, they were
like that communicative boy, they had
nothing to say Whatever. The court taking
in the situation fined each IS and costs,
which they settled.
Ed Smith for carrying concealed weapons
was fined SIS and costs, in default Of which
he was sent 10 the cooler.

MUGGS' LANDING.

There was large audience at the opera

that company and play were "up. way UP,
in the opinion of the auditors. The drama
belongs to the school of Miles, Ears, etc.
It tells the story of wait thrown among
rough but kindly people, beset By their
cross purposes intended to benefit her but
often working counter results, and the
Vaccinations of society people seeking
to retain the wealth and station for them
selves that belonged to her. There 10 no
strong viliany inyolved-it 10 simply bat
tie of shrewd wits against each other, afford

tons, opportunities for effective situations
The story is quite interesting and has q
steady fiow of mirth that captures the aver
age audience, Miss Frances Bishop, as
Mugs, charms from her first appearance
Preety and petite physically, sparkling IN.
her abandon of voice and manner the author
has made part that fits her capacities ike

It would be difficult for her to secure two
