The Police Justice had a few ugly cases
before him yesterday morning. Thomas
Harris and Joseph Smith (colored) were
charged with being disorderly and firing
a pistol on the premises Of the Excelsior
Club, a negro organization, on the night
of October I'D. From the evidence II was
shown that Harris drew revolver and
Smith a knife and forced Richard Bagby 70
give them IS cents and Reuben Goode to
give them 81. The men were sent TO the
grand Jury on the two charges of high
way robbery and the pistol-firing case was
dismissed. Harris and Smith Were. how
ever sent 10 Jail for twelve months as
suspicious characters.
The case Of the Excelsior Club. resort
kept by several colored persons, known
as pleasure club" for Sunday loafing,
was again called and continued indefinite

charges in the Hastings Court against this
cub and the Justice prefers to wait until
the pending charges are disposed of, be
fore doing anything with this one.
Martha Johnson (colored) was charged
with feloniously stealing suit of furni-
ture from James Woodall. The furniture,
1t seemed, had been bought by Martina
upon the instalment plan. and she failed
to pay or to give up the furniture. The
Justice dismissed the case on the ground
that it was one for civil and not criminal
action.
An attachment was issued for little
