BLEW TN WITH The WIND.
A Job-Lot Of Offenders Up Before the
Police Court,
six Months for Brady and Cunning
ham-The Poundmaster's Racket
With August Heber.

In the Police Court yesterday quartet
of drunks had the floor for the first few
moments. William Simpson, the first
on the list, had been drunk, and had no
material or relevant excuse to offer. He
was sentenced to a fine of - or two days
and q half in the City Jail.
John Smith, also drunk, claimed that
he was en- route for Woodland, but got
left by the train, and whiled the hours
away with a jag. He was evidently very
anxious to get out of town, and Judge
Cravens called upon officer Isham to see
that he got under way for Woodland
without delay.
OTHER DRUNKs DISPOSED OF.
Indian Pete had beyond doubt been
drunk, and looked as though every body
on the water front had pummeled him.
"Where did you get the whisky?" in
quired the Judge.
81 don't know where got it, replied
Pete.
''Ten days in the City Jail" replied his
honor, and the ignoble red man subsided.
J. L. Stewart, also drunk, said he wa
from Woodland.
Got any money!" inquired Judge
Cravens.
NO. said Stewart sadly, II had some

sympathetically.
Yes" replied Stewart.
1.-TWO days and half in the City Jail, :"
said the Judge.
Handsome Brady, who had pleaded
guilty to vagrancy, looked as though he
had been out in the storm as he stood up
for sentence, and he had been. His honor
thought he needed a guardian to keep
him in out of the rain, and he was sem
fenced to six months in the City Jail
Brady evidently anticipated no less, and
he sat down with patient resignation.
Half an hour later he had resumed his
occupation as ''trusty" at the police
station.
THEY PUT UP ALWAYS.
All One, a Chinese with a weakness for
visiting an opium den, was fined so,
which he paid and withdrew. If all the
Chinese opium-smokers in town were
served in the same way the city would
have money on hand.
SIX MONTHS FOR CUNNINGHAM.
c. Cunningham, found guilty of va
grancy, when asked IF he had anything
10 say, said:
~ t-t-t-th-ink III c-c-could g-g-get
out oft-t-t-town-"
How soon?" asked the Judge.
I'm t-t-tw-enty f-f-foo-tour hours" re-
piled Cunningham, and while he was
starting another sentence the court said:
You can move sooner if you don't
talk. pll give you six months in the
County Jail, or six hours in which to get
out Of town." and Cunningham moved
out of court with more alacrity than b e
spoke the Queens English.
MINNIE TALBoT's CASE.
Minnie Talbot, charged with assault to
murder, had her case continued until to-
day, owing to the absence Of the prose-
cutting witness.
THE POUNDMAsTER's HARD LIFE.
J. McNulty, the Poundmaster, was tried
for disturbing the peace Of August Heber,
who is employed at dairy near twenty
eighth and r streets.
Heber testified in Teutonic accents as to
how the Poundmaster and three assist
ants made their advent upon his pastoral
premises, drove of his herd Of twenty
milch cows, and when he interposed Me
Nulty called him several of the hardest
names known to the modern vocabulary
Heber said further that the Pound
master and his aids tried to run over him
with their horses, and McNulty drew a
pistol and threatened to put a bullet
through him.
Several small boys substantiated
Heber's testimony.
Major Anderson, who defended Nc
Nulty, introduced an ordinance in re-
gard to "horses, cattle, mules and asses'
running at large inside the city limits,
and proceeded to define the provisions Of
the same, to which City Attorney Hart
objected, and large assortment Of legal
language ensued.
Mr.. Anderson then called the Pound
master and his deputies, who testified
with singular consistency that Heber's
cattle were at large, and that when they
were fulfilling their duties by taking
them to the pound. Heber called them
city thieves and other epithets, using
all the English he could reach, and most
of the German language, in his vigorous
protest. He then picked up a stone
which he threatened them with, and
otherwise resisted them as officials in
discharge of their duty.
Judge Cravens found from the evil
dence that McNulty was not guilty, and
he was discharged.
