ercised over the manner in which COM
plants and valuable papers are purloined
from his desk in the court. The court
room is directly opposite the police head
quarters, only large lobby separating one

missed things, t matters have gone too
far the past tn weeks. A few days ago
his Honor missed valuable complaint.
Last Friday some valuable lodge certin-
Gates were stolen from his desk, and these
he wouldn't lose for considerable money,
but they are gone, and he doesn't know
who took them. Recorder McDonough
also charges that some time ago his desk
was broken open and all the papers in the

tampered with, and all in all, he is not in
a very safe place, despite the fact that he
is within the shadow of police head

but drink rum while it lasts, aud when
