tsh Again IN Trouble.

Two gray-headed old men, who might
have been brothers. occupied the half
way pen between liberty and bondage
at headquarters last evening. They
might have been brothers, but they
were father and son. The elder Was
S5, and the younger was IS, but the dis
spated habits OF the latter gave him
decrepltude Of appearance much be-
yond that of ms father. They are Eng
lishmen with the Yorkshire dialect so
strong tnat il is difficult 10 understand
them. That boy" said the older,
turning to John the younger. with a
look OF outraged patience, "has gone
wrong too much. He ought TO be ted
TO the carts tail and dragged through
the town." John Winters was the
hoy" and he was arrested on COM
plant OF a lady who used 70 be called
Mrs. Winters, but whom the law now
permits TO use her maiden name. At
the time of the divorce there was prop
erty or one or two thousand dollars
value. which seems 10 have been re-
tanned by the wife. Now whenever
john gets too much aboard he goes 10
the old lady and makes it lively after
the Old manner of the days before the
divorce. She swore out u complaint
against him yesterday. and the Old
father was on hand with the stuff 10
keep the boy from being locked up.
The court will sft things today.
Orrin y. Standlsh has again brought
his good wife into sorrow and himself
into the lookup. Standish drinks.
Yesterday his wife, Charlotte, felt COM
PEELED TO complain of HIM, and when
Detective Gates undertook to serve the
warrant he mad to force an entrance to
the house. The Standishes were Sal
vationlsts at the time of the courtship
and marriage. But Standlsh could not
endure the hardships of religious life
and fell from grace and never got up.
He is an old soldier and draws pen
sion. When in the cell he talked with
avOlubility and unreserve which showed
that he used TO be Salvationist all
right. He repeats the old story of sup
porting the whole Salvation Army,
land when they get down on their
knees and shout in my house, and say
the Lord will provide, Iallow that it is
Standlsh that provides. | can't feed a
whole nation" He will be in court this
morning.
Charles Fitch, the young man who
had the difficulty with the Hepburn
family, was brought into court at the
afternoon session. and was told that
His Honor had been looking mp the
case, and that the court was gong to
modify the sentence at first determined
upon. On payment of the costs, SEN
tence would be suspended, in consider
alton OF certain excavations IN the
affair which the court had discovered.
The business Of the police court, yes
.ofday, was smaller IN volume than
within any period whereof the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary.
One Door, lone, lOrn, embryonic DEM
ocratic politician, with not a single
companion TO compare not outlets with
him, turned his pockets inside out
and went over TO Hotel Bishop to board
out the debt of sin. His name is Will
liam Johnson, intox.
The John Bruskey. who was arrested
yesterday on telegram from Goshen,
Indiana, is going To be married. As
soon as the police found 1t out they be-
gan to treat John with tender consider
alton, and let up materially on the
vigor of his confinement. The cere-
mony will take place as soon as he
reaches Goshen, and then the law can't
touch him.
After Justice had done her work on
Johnson, then began the flow of mercy.
The two young dOve-fanciers, Charles
Davis and Elmer Youngblood, will be
gwen a chance to recover their good
names, during long adjournment of
their case. The court suspends further
proceedings against them until April 5.
Then, boys, we shall see what we shall
see.
