Day in Court.
| Edward Smallwood was released from
! Jail yesterday. where he had been serving
sentence for assaulting Rosie Williams,
young colored girl with whom he had
been living. He threatened at that time
| to "get even" with her, and when he
came out of Jail he went to look her up.
He found her last night, threw her
down and kicked her in the stomach.
She was badly hurt and Judge Kimball
sent him back to Jail for six months.

grounds gathering flowers. lie was ar
rested and locked up in the First precinct
station. This morning in the Police
! Court he was fined So.
Poor Unfortunate.
John Koons was found yesterday by
Officer GarToway wandering aimlessly
along L street in the northeast section of
the city and he arrested him on the charge
of being vagrant.
The man was brought before Judge
Kimball this morning. He had simple
expression on his face and his answers to
the Courts questions, were equally simple.
He could give no account of himself and
was sent to the work house for thirty davs.
Judge Kimball requested that the sanity of
the man be enquired into.
Swindled at the Races.
Last night about o'clock Detective
Carter arrested George Adamson and
Joseph Kelly and locked them up at the
Sixth precinct station on the charge of
embezzlement preferred by John w. Belt,
clerk of the county court of Marlboro,
Md.
Mr.. Belt went to the races at Bennng
yesterday. There he met Adamson and
Kelly, who told him that he would have
a sure thing in several of the races, but
the sure thing failed tomateriaiZe. Then
Mr.. Belt played his own Judgment and
gave the two touts S75 to place on EXclu-
sion-4 to ! for winner and to for
place. Fifty dollars was to have been
placed on the horse for winner and the
remainder for place. The men brought
Mr.. Belt two tickets issued by Jones &
Co., the bookmakers, or rather alleged to
have been issued.
Exclusion won but when Mr.. Belt
presented his tickets to Jones e Co. to
collect the 1915 due him Mr. Jones de-
Clared that they were bogus. Then Mr..
Belt commenced hunt for the two t)uts
but they had left the track and could not
be found. The police department was
notified and fifteen minutes afterwards
every officer in the city had description
of the men.
There seems to have been confederate
for the two men instead of leaving the
city at once waited for him on Four-and-
a-half street, just south of the Avenue.
Nunr tn1 IXy irn
Carter last night The men had their
valises with them and had evidently pre-
pared toleave town. Both men are opium
smokers and they had complete clay
out' with them.
: 1t is thought that the men had an idea
that Exclusion would not win and kept
, the $75, giving Mr.. Belt bogus tickets in
return. If this proved to be the case then
Mr.. Belt would have torn the tickets up
: and 10 one ever have been the wiser.
The case came up in the Police Court
to-day, but on account of the absence of
important witnesses, the case was con-
tinued until Tuesday next.
A Case of Civil Rights.
> John T. Carter, colored man with an
expansive shirt front and big standing
collar went INTO the saloon of Mr.. John
, L. Burkhardt at Tenth and f streets yester-
day to get glass of beer. In his hand he
: held five cents to pay for it.
"a quarter for beer, :" said the bartender
Carter protested that this was an over
charge and Mr.. Burkhardt, who was stand
ing outside heard the noise he made.
Mr.. Burkhardt went inside to see about it,
"An he tooken cotch me by de nap oh
de neck an de seat of my pants an flung
, me out in de street."
