Is it an evidence of good horsemanship
to go galloping through a very muddy
street, finging mud all over the pcdcs-
trians on the sidewalk? The idiots who
make practice of this should have a
lesson taught them. Even the carriage
drivers have taken it up and trot their
horses through the muddicst part OF the
street, regardless OF the passing crowds
on the sidewalk.

MoTEN IN TROUBLE.
Charlie Is Charged With Steal
ing This Time.

John Johnson, who was arrested Mon
day evening by Officer Petzold on the
charge of fighting at Moten's saloon on
Railroad avenue, has gotten into bad
scrapc. He likewise got Charlie Moten
into bad position. Johnson was fined
$3.50 yesterday morning by the mayor.
He had no money, but said he could get
it from Charlie Moten. Accompanied
by an officer he went to that hostelry
and solicited aid from.the noted landlord.
Charlie was inexorable. He waived
examination. He would have nothing
to do with such entreatieS.
johnson went back burning with
rage 1t was ascertalned in the mean
timo that Johnson had on pair of
checked pants that resembled lot
stolen from Grinberg Sc Morris about
September LIST of last year Notwith
standing the usual wear and tear, the
quick eyes of the chief detected that
Johnson was thief and charged him
with the crime. Johnson saw it was no
use to wiggle and gave Charlie Moten
away for personal spite. He said he pur-
chased the pants from that much prose-
cuted individual several month ago.
Charlie Moten was then arrested and
Motion, Charles brother, followed the
officer all the way to the station-house
and interferred with the arrest several
times. After Charlie was safely locked
up, Fred was was taken in charge.
When searched he had $50 on his per-
son. The officer started to put the
money away. Moten then broke and
ran. Not much effort was made to cap
ture him, as he had up good collateral.
Charlie procured Capt. Berkeley as
attorney, and both he and johnson were
arraigned before Judge Williams yester-
day on application for bail.
Roy B. Smith appeared for the COM
monwealth, but as only an application
for bail was made, he took no part in
the case.
Capt. Berkeley said that Moten had
been the victim of the entire police
force. He was much prosecuted man.
He desired bail for him, as the common
wealth was not yet ready for trial.
Judge Williams placed the bond at
5000, which was given by Fred Motcn,
who said he was pretty we'll off and
owned large real estate interests.
The trial was set for April Sth. John
Johnson was sent back to jail as no one
would go his bail.
Mr. Morris, of tho firm of Grinberg Sc
Morris, says nineteen pairs of pants
were stolen from his store at the time
charged in tho warrant. He had never
been able to trace the theft and had
placed the matter in the hands of the
police. He identified the pants which
johnson had on as one of the pairs of
the stolen goods.
