car tracks already existing on West Col

be made with the Colorado-street rail-

From the active manner in which the
committees are going to work there can
be no doubt but that the coming cele-
bration will be success in every sense
of the word.
THE POLICE COURT.
Justice Roses court was occupied all
day with the case Of Lou Sing vs. Dan'l
Boon and W. s. Noteworthy. The par
heulars are somewhat unusual, and the
Csssze eaused much amusement to the
usual crowd around the court.
Some time ago Mr.. Boon began losing
turkeys, but no suspicion was enter
tanned of the Chinaman, who resided on
the same premises, until the thing be-
came too regular. At length Mr.. Boon,
a coIored man, made up his mind that
Lou was the culprit, and going up town
secured the company of Constable Nose
worthy, and had the heather arrested.
When the case came to trial, Mr.. Boon
was not on han5, and the matter was
dropped. But Johns ire was up,
and he was not to be pacitied
bv being merely allowed his freedom.
The dev that he had languished in the
city iail was OF value to him, and he
proceed to sue the above named de-
iendants for $3.50 damages. Attorneys
Rsnsiter and Hahn represented the de-
fendants and A. R. Metcalf took the part
of the willy heather. The case was tried
before a jury of II men, who were only
out a short time when verdict was
found for the defendants, the votes
standing 10 to 2.
