Court Notes.
In the District Court this morning Mary

had left many marks, was arraigned on a

She entered plea of not guilty and the
~'>'S """ DIV bOhh iOT lTlul.
Martha Lawton, a young woman, was
arraigned on similar charge. She
PLEADED not guilty, but her husband in
sisted on her pleading guilty.
She said she had done nothing To plead
guilty for but her better half said he
"wanted to settle 1t right there" The
court told her not to plead guilty unless
she was guilty and the case was set down
for trial Thursday.
Two drunks were fined a and costs.
Meeting WIN BE short.
The only business, as far as conld be
found out today, to be transacted at the
special town meeting this afternoon is
simply to pass the vote properly to issue
the 100000 worth Of bonds.
This ought TO take less than five minutes,
and unless someone who attends has
something more to offer a motion to ad-
journ will be In order in about that length
of time.
This is the second special town meeting
that has been called to settle this matter
OF bonds and II is expected that today's
vote will be passed In manner to
suit the brokers.
| Accommodations for Prisoners.
II matters keep on as they have been
the past year the town will have to
provide moro accommodations for prison
| ers.
| Tho town Is growing rapidly and with
1t Is growing the amount Of law breaking.
The police force was increased TO keep
pace with the increase in crime and still
the jail remains the same.
The town is now as large as some cities
according to population, and that is the
reason Judge Con has 30 many cases be-
fore him every morning.
II the Manville officers had brought
their twenty nine prisoners to this Jail
Saturday night and the Valley Falls
officers done the same there would not
have been standing room in tho whole
building.
The cells are full nearly every night and
often II is necessary to put two in cell.
The tramp room is nothing but a large
cell, not near big enough.
There arc only four cells, and when
more than one man is put in one of them
at this season Of the year, without proper
ventilation, 1t is torture.
The Board of Firewards should con-
slider the matter and put in moro cells so
that prisoner can get his moneys worth
when Gagged by the "cops."
