GENERAL NOTES.
Daniel w. Jones is in town, delivering
his book, Forty Years Among the In
dians,'' to those who subscribed when he
was here some six weeks ago.
Aaron Johnson's Dramatic company
will present "Out of His Sphere at the
Music hall next Wednesday evening. They
will no doubt draw large audience.
The ball given by the Young Ladies' Mu-
tual Improvement association in the Music
hall last evening was one of the most ele-
CANT affairs of the season. Notwithsand-
ing the inclemency of the weather, the at
tendance was quite large. and altogether
the affair was grand social success. The
proceeds are to be used for the benefit of
the association.
Hoodlums have been getting in their
work again. Some time last Sunday night
tie guards around the shade trees in front
of j. G. M. Barnes residence
were pulled mp and thrown into
the street, gates were taken from
their hinges and carried away and
other depredations committed. Mr.. Barnes
has been making careful inquiries since
then, with the result that he has found out
who the boys were, and unless they make
PREPARATION they will probably be given a
chance to prove their innocence before
Judge Phillips.
Yesterday morning boy about sixteen
years OF age, whose name is withheld, was
arrested by Marshal Taylor on comolaiDu
sworn to by one of his playmates, charging
him with assault and battery, said to have
been committed on Thursday evening. He
had hearing before Judge Phillips yester-
day afternoon and was fined IS and COSTS
From the evidence brought forth at the
trial, it seems that the complainant had
charged the defendant with being impli-
Gated in the hoodlumism of last Sunday
night, and the latter started out on Thurs
day evening to find the former and have
bulldog satisfaction out of him for this as
sertion. The blood-besmeared visage of
the complainant, just after the boys met,
was ample proof that the defendant was
guilty of the charge of battery. M.
