the costs being SIPS.
He said he was ready to work out

garnisheed $40 he had on deposit
with johnny Meyer at the Sacra-

The man protested that it would
leave him almost penniless, and that
he was willing to work it out. He
was not allowed to do so, however,
and the Court swooped down on his
money. Being out of money he is
liable to be arrested as a vagrant

lieyes that this refusal led to the
outrage, as the man who wished to
