POLICE AND COURT.

Al tazr Mlchasl keelan and John
Mustang are known 70 have ever doae
u snuLe them - place Ia TIE pus.ic
records u tneir country ls ther VIOLA
ton Of the lzw. Both were sent % Jal,
yesterday for nav. 3 been drunk.
Henry Ds Neren4 worked ln the
brass foundry, and took a bottle 70 the
shop, one day. The foreman hred out
him and some other boys, bat .hey
shortly returned, GOT IN among the
g.rls on their SIDE Of toe partition, and
made il interesting for the lass.es. The
foreman undertook to interfere and
put the boys out again, and there IS
where a PLAIN drunk developed INTO 3
dsorderly. The language used by De
Nerena was what glrls ought not 10 hear.
The consequence VAS that the Young
fellow had 20 pay Ss.35 FOR Wlckeduess, ,
besides losing hls Job.
A pair of 2antaloons, by becoming
misplaced, threaten 10 cause John
Fuller a heap OF trouble; not IN the
way that sometimes happens u dreams,
but .n the way that Is sure, sooner or
later, 10 happen % thieves. The case :
adjourned 10 TINS morning.
Geo. r. Meyers was no stranger 10 the
police court surroundings, for be VAS
sent 10 Iona from this court nearly
ninety days ago. lie was not permitted
10 enjoy any Liberty when his time was
up, FOR sheriff Bishop went 10 Ionia 10
arrest him Tor stealing connected with
the transaction that got him into the
scrape before. He was held 10 the
next term OF the superior court.
The ncighbors think that John Wood
ought TO be punished Tor getting drunk
IA Kent alley and becoming d.sorderly.
John seems TO thing otherwise and has
hired 4 lawyer and saws he can be ready
for trial May y, TO which date his case
i adjourned.
Nothing Is commOnor than funny
thing spelling with age. What III Ia e
morning may provoke the most uprOar-
IOus glee, may, in the evening, set
| everybody 10 watering his couch with
his tears. When, fortnight ago,
Truman Odell was brought INTO court
| accompanied by a group OF laughing
rolllcking, defiant companions, he
pOsterOus TO suppose that an under
Strapper on the railroad could be asked
TO respect rights which common pedes-
tians may possess. But the aspect OF
| things began TO change the moment the
| criminal trial of Odell began, and
when il ended, il was clear 10 all pres
ent in court that the railroad crossings
south of the union depot will be kept
.f- 10 f,,t Te tah
man in the O.. X. q /. yard, and on the
morning of the oath of April he lett a
tram of cars on Island-St. crOss!n e
much longer than the law permits. He
denied 1t in court, and got half dozen
railroad men TO hell him deny II. Yet
he was convicted and sentenced to pay
a fine of s. and $40 costs, or fifteen
days in Jail. His attorney stated, what
is most undoubtedly true, that the rail-
way managers are as ANXIOUS as the
general public to keep those crossings
clear. The violation Of law oy such
men as Odell gets no sympathy from
railroad officials.
The details of an adultery case mar
rated in courtwlth the cciTcumstantlality
necessary 10 convict of CRIME, are not
good reading. When 1t is stated that
Billy Mead and Mary Sherman were
caught by Sergeant Webb and Detective
Cast in the dead of night in fiagrante
delcto, 1t is all that historical accuracy
demands. Although the examination
proceeded far enough to satisfy the
most sickly appetite IN the crowd, the
half has not been told, and the case Is
continued. Next Monday it will appear
again.
The fellow who howled his gullet raw
IN the cage at headquarters last night
was George Kennedy. He was drunk
in the Arcade and tired to impose his
obnoxious company on a respectable
woman when Officer Graves interfered
This exasperated the brute and ms
language became too violent forr
repetition. lie viii answer TO a com
plant of drunk aud dIsorderly.
