Mollie Miller, Nellie Richards, Jen-
ME Hartman, Jessie Browning and
May Collie, quintette of soiled doves
who keep an establishment of ques-
tionable character in the second story
above the Chinese laundry on Main
street, were before the court yester-
day morning on charges of
keeping house of prostitu-
ton, etc. All of the women
except Jesse Browning, are recent
/ corners, having come with the crowd
to attend the fair. They pleaded
guilty to the charge and were fined
$50 each. The fact that the officers
had made raid and captured the
women, had become noised about gen.
orally and the usual big crowd of
spectators was present. To the credit
of the much slandered bald.headed
men, only one of them was present
and he occupied seat in the rear end
of the house.
Ora Smith and George Roberts, a
pair of stalwsrt men, were charged
with lettering about the city
at night and not able to give good
account of themselves. Officer James
Gossage testified that about half past
IL o'clock Friday night a man seized
one of the gas trees at the corner of
Usage and Main and giving it a vio-
lent shake caused five or six globes to
fall with a crash. The fellow jumped
into Gordon's saloon where the two
prisoners were found an instant later.
There was no other persons about and
the officer is satisfied that one of them
did the mischief. Gossage stated
that Roberts was q tough customer
and lived the greater part of his time
in the jsils of the different places he
lie at, and that every time be favors
this place with a visit a robbery is
committed. Roberts flew into
a rage and declared that
Gossage could not prove his charges.
He claimed that be came here to visit
his sister. Mrs. Dix, but the testimo-
ming of three other officers was to the
effect that he never went near her
but laid about the town drunk. The
officers keep close watch on this fell
low whenever he comes to town. A
fine of SO was assessed against both
of the men. Nothing could be done
about the breaking of the gas globe as
the officers could not tell which of the
men did the mischief. 1t is a great
pity that respectable people have to
submit to such losses at the hands of
disreputable drunken loafers.
Thomas McTureny and VIM. Bur-
ton, a couple of young men
pleaded guilty to being
ston-blind drunk. Burton said
he desired to make statement, and
the permission being granted, he said
that if they would give him dollar
and an hours time, he would leave
the city for good. The city attorney
thought the request was the checklist
he ever heard of and answered that
the city needed some rock broken too
badly for that.
Payton Childs, q colored horse jock
| ey in charge of Tornado" was ar
rested ON the fair grounds Friday
while trying to collect a So bet by
means of a revolver. He was sur
prised when fine Of s25 was assessed
against him. He said be always un-
derstood that the law allowed horse
men land travellers to carry guns.
Frank Miller and VIM. Brown
were arrested on account of the man.
ner they came into town. The latter
rode in on the blind end of baggage
car while the former came In on a
side door Pullman. They were fined
So each.
Dora Dewitt and Mrs. Elite Tur.
pin, charged with keeping rooms on
Dentucky street, for purposes of pros
titution, pleaded not guilty and had
their trials set for Monday morning at
9 o'clock.
