Offenders.

oHenuerB.
Judge Sanders' court had lots Of business
on hand yesterday. Tho case of William
Walker, who threw stones through car
window. was adjudicated by Il fine of $50.
Walker pleaded guilty and his only excuse
was that he was drunk
A. l.. Porter WAS another stone thrower
come to judgment. Ho was also full, and
threw rock ut man near tho Northern
Pacific depot. The only reason for throw
ing tho rock Mt this particular man was that
he WAS the first person who happened along
when Porter had n notion on. He pleaded
guilty and sentence was reserved. William
Mitchell pleaded guilty to stealing two gal
Ions OF gin from Louis Steinbfenner'B
place. He was fined $50. John Leon
ard, who stole Il pair of trousers
and whistcont from clothes-c cleaning
place on jackson street got forty days in
jail. Pat Boyle was hauled in during the
afternoon in his own wagon and will have
hearing later on for being drunk and beat
ing his horses. Boyle drove down Main
street and attempted to turn into Grand.
The wheels struck the curbing and fright
ened the horses, throwing Boyle backward
from tho seat. Ho lay helpless in tho bot
tom of the wagon while the team continued
up Grand street and through an alley to tho
court house. Here Boyle got up and began
lnshing his horses. Deputy Sheriff Rich
hrdB ana Policeman Milt Wltten arrested
him and drove him to the police station.
He had used n whip with piece OF
wire for cracker and the horses showed
great welts all over their bodies, bringing
the blood in several places. w. l.. Home
had warrant sworn out for X. l.. John
son, an employ men agent, on the charge Of
obtaining 81 from him under false pre-
lenses. 1t appears that the Royal cafe
wanted an extra cook for the Fourth of
July. Il. A. Fischer, the proprietor, got
him by applying to Johnson's agent. Yes
terday Home came along and wanted job.
He paid dollar and was also sent to the
cafe, where he was told there was no longer
any need for cook. johnson responded
to the warrant. but it turned out that it
WAS not he, but his former clerk, who had
taken Homes dollar. When the police
went to look for the clerk he had
gone. The clerk is named Smith
and is the same person who
recently served term in the county Jail
for forging another employment agents
name to an order for work. johnson claims
that he only rented an Office for Smith and
told him to make what he could, because
the young fellow had no money and no
friends when he got out of Jail. County
Attorney Nolan intends to ask the city
council to pass an ordinance requiring en-
ployment agents to give II bond to indem-
nifty people for loss sustained in paying for
empl oyment and not getting it.
