were, as Judge Levens remarked TO
the BAzoo chronicler, very unprof'
liable crowd, not nickel being real
lied from the outfit. A plea of guilty
was entered in each case, and in de-
fault of payment of the fines assessed,
another addition was made to the
rather already large humble: of Mar
shall Jackson's boarders.
Calvin Welch for vagrancy was
fined So.
Maude Rush, tough and aban-
doned prostitute, was assessed SO on
the charge of late hours.
B. E. Lewis was charged with
drunkenness and carrying concealed
weapons. He pleaded guilty to the
former charge, nut claimed that he
was entitled to the privilege of car
rying concealed weapons as he was
travelling through the country. He
was fined s5 on the charge of drunken
ness, and the case of carrying con-
cealed weapons was continued, in the
absence of the necessary witnesses to
prove the charge.
CRANKY CLAIR.
John j. Clair, the bald-headed,
crazy nuisance, who resides north of
the railroad and who is never salts
fed unless making things very un.
comfortable for his neighbors, was ar
rested yesterday on the complaint of
S. n. Lewis, charging him with in
sulting the compliments mother by
violent and obscene language. He was
released on his own recognizance
to appear before Justice
Halstead tomorrow morning. Mr..
Lewis and Clair are neighbors, and a
feud has long existed between the
two families, caused by the sometimes
almost unbearable conduct of Clair,
who should either be muzzled or sent
to the lunatic asylum.
LAST NIGHTS ARRESTS.
The police reaped quite a harvest
shortly after the midnight hour last
night. Among the captives were
three ex-convicts who arrived from
Jefferson City yesterday afternoon.
According to infor nation received by
the police, it seems that these three
were the members of a gang who pro-
posed to centralize at this city, and
then thoroughly organize for their
work of robbery. The names given
by them are Stephen Mullen, who is
charged with being drunk and com.
hitting a nuisance. John Frazer,
slated for the same charge, and G.. A.
Fendley, arrested for late hours un-
der suspicious circumstances.
John Henry Summers, the one
armed bum and hopeless nuisance, was
run in and stated for the same old
charge of drunkenness.
A. @. Cameron, the well-known
wild cat insurance agent, and for
few days past engaged in an attempt
to sell nursery trees, was found in a
drunken condition at a late hour on
Usage street, and given quarters in
the cooler, as he was in no condition
to 60 home to his family.
CRIMINAL NOTES.
The midnight addition to Mar
sha! Jackson's guests filled the cooler
to overfowing.
Recorder Levens now keeps
complete record of all cases brought
before him. This is something new
in the history of the police court.
One of the most abandoned and
altogether tough crowds which have
been under the same roof at one time

"A warrant was yesterday issued
by Judge Halstead for the arrest of
Wright Colbert: charged by Carrie
Tribe with assaulting one Mile Tri-
bic on the 18th inst.
The scheme of diverting the po-
lice force into night and day forces,
adopted by the new administration,
seems to work admirably and gives
better satisfaction to the majority of
the officers.
Under the new administration
mush has been done to abate the
of loud-mouthed, drunken
rowdies, providing the streets at un-
seemly hours at night and in the
early morning hours. but there is
yet much room for Improvement in
this direction.
There are quite a number of
brazen faced colored prostitutes in the
city who make it their business
to promenade the principal thor
