POLICE COURT.

The police brought before his honor, yes
terday, an individual who held to the non
de plume of Valley Center. Valley Center
has been as drunk as a billed owl, he had
been roaring lion in the streets, and had
bet his boots on Valley Center being full of
whool and hard to curry. He had gone so
far as to say that he didn't give a continent
tai for Wichita or its whole layout, but
Valley Center was boss. The courts currie1
him down for 50 and costs, and Valley
Center went away in subdued spirit.
Z. N. Ruggles was rext en- the LIST, and
stood up for q benefit, but not being like
Valley Center, subdued bronco, he got 81
and costs set opposite his name.
K. johnson forfeited $40 for indecently
behaving ut the corner of an alley, where he
fingered long enough to attract the attention
of policeman.
Albert Hartning was up for vagrancy and
not having enough money to bless himself
with, was fined $40 and costs and sent out Of
the city on tie pass. May we look for his
weary limbs in the thawing snow of the
spring, gentle Annie!

for driving sleigh as fist as his horse could
travel. His fellow racer awaits the tender
