A LENGTHY PROGRAMME.

Ouartettes, Duets and Solos Rehsarsed
Before Critic Ensminger Today.
MONDAY morning" was visible all over
the police docket today. and when the
court looked at it he allowed to escape
him a good sized Monday morning sigh
The programme was 80 lengthy. in fact
that in some cases the members of the
com pany were allowed to appear in duets
and quartettes to more rapidly dispose
of it
The first number called was the case
Of Harry Hobart, who had taken a trip
to By-lOW land in a wheat car yesterday.
After mature consideration the judge re-
membered how sleepy a day was yester-
day and discharged the prisoner.
The next number was a trio IN which
Frank Mack. Charles Denny and Calvin
Harris appeared 1t was entitled sstres-
passing railroad property" There
was not very much evidence that would
tend to convict, so the Judge allowed the
prisoners to depart
the Intsresting Case of Ed. Wright.
The continued case Of Ed Wright came
next Ed was accused Of unbecoming in
timacy with the left optic of Miss Carrie
Alexander, or Harris. The fact OF the.
matter seems to have been that Carrie
aud piece of board had disturbed Eds
peace of mind and he had demonstrated
with her to the extent of saturatinQ her
handkerchief with her warm southern
blood.
Since then Carrie has not been seen
frequently. and the police are in posses
sion of q story to the effect that Ed b as
been very careful of her comfort during
the last few days. aud has secured her d
room that she could have all to herself,
where she would not be disturbed by any
vile policeman that mig hit want to bother
her with his attentions Also that he is
saving her the trouble and annoyance Of
being compelled to go out for meals All
this is. of course, very cOnsiderate Of Ed,
but some how the court didn't commend
him for his kindness. The most inter-
esting witness was Miss Mary " ade, =
brunette young lady with perpendicular
eyes and an innocent expression about
her teeth. Mary saw the row and at the
time prOfessed a good deal of sympathy
for Carrie, but somehow she has changed
her mind since and talked very much in
Eds favor this morning It didn't take
long for Nj Hungate to get her
tangled up though and before she got
done she would have been willing TO ad-
nit that she might have been mistaken
about few points in her former story.
Ed then told his story, using cracks in
the floor for streets and alleys with
readiness of illustration that would have
done immense credit to the diagram
man. Eds manner was wholly modest
and natural, but the judge was used to
that SORT of thing and Ed got SO for his
trouble. He did not pay lis fine and
talks about appealing his case to the dis
trict court
Tobias Hughes Case.
Tobias Hughes was allowed to 90 on
with his number next Tobias had made
q bad break on the street Saturday after
noon and had been arrested for it at the
instigation of a MIRA Dial, who was there
with her husband to tell her side Of the

street Saturday afternoon about o'clock
when Tobias had accosted and insulted
