SC'OOJDcti.

There is an institution yclept The
Broadway aud Mechanic street, kept
by William Kennedy. Drinks are
sold there without much discrimination
as to whether the customer is
theoretically drunk or conditionally
sober.
Some complaint OF the place having
been made, Bailiff Spitznas concluded
last Sunday to verify reports. Ac-
cordiugy he put himself in touch with
the acoustics of The Box" and heard
high old links going on within. He
summoned Samuel NJ. Sheet and
William Payne to assist him and
Policeman Hartig to put The Box in
a state of siege. Approaching eau
tiously. the party knocked, and all at
once the revelry grew so indlstlnct
that nothing could be heard but the
labored breathing Of the besieged, as
of despalring coyotes at last brought
to bay. To the captors there was in
the sound smell of beer
sound they could not hear
But they smelt it here they stood
And ID the atmosphere
The posse walked in. however. and
found William Kenuady--the pro
prietor, four other white men aud one
oAmerlcan. Spitznas placed all
under arrest and marched them to the
lookup On the way it was learned
that the symposium was considering Il
motion to adjourn for tea. 1t was this
that caught them. Had they not been
guilty OF the unparliamentary act of
debating a motion to adjourn the posse
would have found that the canaries
had flown.
Monday morning Kennedy was taken
before Justice Purnell under charge
made by the baIllf of 'disoldcrly con-
duet on Sunday" He pleaded guilty
and was assessed - fine and 1919
costs. To this the justice added the
observation that it was not all he
would like to do. but it was corpora
ton case. There was stillroom for the
State authorities to come in, if they
choose, with Il charge of keeping Il
disorderly house. etc.
The remainder of the gang was dis
charged, no evidence appearing of
misconduct on their part.
