Ors' 'AttentiOn-Judge kimball Was
In Lenient Mood and Tempered
Justice With Mercy.

Judge Kinban had the smallest number
of callers this morning that have hon
| ored him for year. Jack Frost has not
| been severe enough yet 10 drive the
'.home- see king" vagrants in, the class
who wilfully seek arrest, in order to
get food and shelter during the cold
winter months.
William Johnson was first called and
then recalled by Mr.. KcDdig, the guard
of the main gate, in his stentorian voice.
Mr.. Kendig has had his hair cut so short
that from distance of ten feet ii is
difficult To distinguish his head from
bald one; unlike Samson, however, this
does not seem to interfere with his strength,
of his lungs at least.
johnson almost jumped through the iron
grating when the thunder rolled down
the aisle, and looked at the bailiff as If
he expected to see the lightning flash the
next minute.
johnson pleaded guilty, through coun-
sci, to being disorderly, and his counsel
said:
Your honor, We don't deny the charge,
but our excuse is that we were very
drunk"
"Do you expect me to let him off on
that plea?'' asked the court.
NO, sir: but you see"
Three dollars" said the court, and
johnson didn't see it and went down.

Mary Lee for some time, had Mary ar

stcrnly.
John Newman a white man, who seemed
to have seen better days, was arrested on
Fourteenth street for cursing and swearing.

hailiff.

last. ! am very sorry 1t happened, and
want to go to work Tomorrow, If you'll

FOR CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
The usual programme was then changed
a bit by case OF cruelty to animals of the
horse kind, one being mule and one
horse.
Mr.. ]. E. Chapman, the coal dealer. was
the owner of the animals, and Mr.. Cromwell
was the complainant
Mr.. Cromwell was coming down Twelfth
street hill and saw the two broken-down
animals, both with sores on their backs,
and positively unable to pull the load up
the hill.
Mr.. Crom well nd two or three other wit
nesses testified to the pitiful sight of seeing
the driver urge the weak animals up the
hill to their evident inability to do any
work at all. let alone pull such load.
Mr.. Chapman told peculiar story as To
his reasons for putting horses with sores
into double wagon.
'.Ir have been cruel in this case" said
Mr.. Chapman. II have been cruel for
cially for the purpose of curing horses
of their sore backs. When their hacks
get rubbed by the collars and harness of
the cart. | put them in double harness to
cure them.
"A veterinary surgeon once told ME
that a horse with sore back is much bet
ter off working than standing in stable"
HIS PECULIAR EXCUSE.
His honor thought that was peculiar
way TO look at il, but thought that if
the sore was not being touched by any
of the harness. that probably the horse
would not he damaged, if it was other
wise i'll good physical condition.
But since the testimony shows that
these horses are in a bad physical Condi-
ton. you are fined ten dollars" he added
Two brothers OF the name of Giddngs
white men, between thirty and forty years
old, were arrested ON Seventh street
northwest for being loud and bOistcrous
The officer said they We're wrestling on the
street. and cursing and swearing.
They both pleaded not guilty, and John
took the stand.
"Yer honor, we was going home, and
Allison was little full, and I was jes'
tryin' to hurry him along to take the cyar
and l suppose l niought a been a little
loud"
John is fined So. and the other man
must give bonds" declared the court.
