FREDDY" WILLIAMS SENT To JAII.
He Forcibly Took Money From the
Pockets of Drunken Laborer,


Fred Williams, alias Freddy" who was ar
rested at an early hour yesterday morning on a
charge of stealing $3.50 from a laborer named
John Sullivan, was arraigned an the municipal
court for trial last evening He was found
guilty of petty larceny. and was sentenced to
thirty days In the county Jail, and required to
pay fine of $50.
The evidence showed that Williams put his
hand in Sullivan's pocket and forcibly took the
money from him. In passing Judgment
on the case Judge Rivers said
that Williams might just as well have been ar
raigned upon a charge of robbery, for the evil
dence introduced was sufficient to justify any
court in holding him for trial in the superior
court.
Williams has figured in many fights and is
familiar character around almost every White
chapel dive. He was arrested some months ago
for knocking an eye out of a man with a beer
glass. He was in Jail for time but owing to
the leniency of the injured man he was never
brought to trial.

Check
AdulteratOn.

What is needed to check
adulteration is intelligence
on the part of consumers.
The inducement to put adul-

market lies in the fact that
a large part of the purchas-
ing public is always ready to
accept the cheapest that can
be had, without thinking that
the quality of the article
must be cheapened in pro-
portion to the reduction in
the price demanded. People
must learn that they can bet

tutes. There is economy for

He once had q case before him which,;
involved the ownership OF hen. Tho
fowl was only worth two or three bits
but the irrespective claimants were in
dead earnest, and fought the case with
as much vigor as if several thousand
dollars were involved Many times
the value OF the hen were expended in
legal and attorneys fees, and a vast
array OF witnesses were called to tes-
tify as to the proper ownership OF

locality where the rival claimants re-
sided, paced off the distance between
the two houses, halted exactly mid
way, and then let the chicken go. The
fowl did not hesitate for second, but
with a glad squawk half ran, half
flew to one OF the houses, and the

AND THE WIND BLEW.

Charley Searles Wanted to See His
Girl, and He Saw Them.
s'The prairies OF the West are great
places for wind" the other day re-
marked Charley Searles, of the North
ern Pacific, to Missourian reporter.
81 used to have station out in
Nebraska, right out in the open
prairie, and the way the wind blew
was a caution. But it was a lucky
wind for me. AT a station about
thirteen miles west my girl lived, and
as | had no Sunday trains or business
OF any kind, would go up there and
stay over Sunday.
"But livery horse from Saturday
night to Monday morning cost me too
much money, so Irigged up sail on
an old tie-car. All I had to do on
Saturday night was to hoist my sail,
push the tie-car on the main track,
and in less than an hour was at my
journeys end. For more than a year
| went to see my girl every Saturday
night by means of that sail car.
Pretty sleek, wasn't it?"
Eyes, pretty sleek. But do you
mean to say that thewind blew in the
same direction every Saturday night
during all that timer"
"Of course I don't!'
"Well, how did you manage on those
nights when it blew in the other direc-
tion?''
''Easy enough. I had another girl
at a station fifteen miles east
