Equity and Justice Melted Out in Large
Quantities.
Any one going to the Police Court yester-
day morning would have thought that the
Justice had ordered a comfortable desk made
for the reporters There were carpenters out
side and inside. but they were oil dressed up
IN their Sunday clothes and looked like they
were about To take an electric car ride 10 For
est Hill Park. For many days these numer-
Gus handlers Of the hammer and saw
have lived and labOred in unity upon
the new City Hall, but daughter of that
same old Eve that broke Adam up in his com
Portable nook in the garden got into the case,
and the same old fellow that talked with that
lovely emanation from Adams rib seemed to
get control of these jewellers in brotherly love,
and the sequel came out in the court yesterday
morning

threatening TO kill II. q. Allen. The testl-
mony showed that in an unguarded moment
Robert had alluded to n subject around which
Mr. Aliens affections seemed 70 circle as
closely as the handspring OF "a new Water
hurry watch
An anonymous letter was sent. it seems. TO
Colonel Cutshaw reciting some OF the alleged
derelictions of Davis and that gentleman
seemed to associate Allen with IT, authorship
Some language was used by both that the
code does not permit, and in alluding TO TINS
feature Colonel Sam Page aptly remarked
that when gentlemen meet compliments are
sure TO pass" There seemed 10 be general

turn to work and forget their differences.

his ears 1t was not the sOng'Of lark IN the

delicate. irresistible chirp of little gray pull
! let came 20 him clear and sweet.
Alas, poor Robert better far had he then
been III his dOwny couch or on the pleasant
benches Of the Capitol Square. The good
resolutions he formed a short time ago when
he was charged with going off suddenly with
a neighbours sun-cured ham, disappeared like
| air castles of frost confronting the sun. A
few minutes later the pullet was chipping from
Roberts basket, and policeman was march
