shares stock for s525 and that they told
him that they had 100000 worth
of stock sold at q par value of so share,
that they had q thousand machines in
operation in New York State

the change. Both men pleaded
not guilty and were held in $500 for trial

are found guilty, it is said there are a
number of other buyer: OF stock who will

LAUGHTER IN COURT.

The program presented by Primrose &
Vests minstrels is not in it with the en-
tertainment furnished at the Sixth Dis
trict Court this morning when Della
Bryant and Aggie Robinson were charged
with making an assault on "Sally"
Hicks. The contestants are col
ored and members of colored
secret society, known as the Galilean
Fishermen. Miss Hicks claim that Mrs.
Bryant and her daughter, Mrs. Robinson,
came to her house Monday, April 1, to
see Mrs. Tucker, who was Ill and also
a member of the Fishermen, and incl
dentally to see about letter that Mrs.
Bryant had received from a man In
Peterborough, Va, in relation to
benefit which was due him on account of
the death of his mother. Mrs. Bryant
ana wanted satisfaction. She knew that
the subject matter of the letter had origi-
mated with the said "Sally" Hicks.
The testimony disclosed the fact that
all of the "ladies" were ready to fight at
seconds notice; that they called each
otucr pIotty Haru hhihSS, anu iHaeo ~"
effort to do each other bodily harm. Ada
Francis, dashing colored belle
of Washington, ID. c., was one OF
the prominent "artists" in the program
presented today, and showed that she
had no love for Mrs. Bryant and her
daughter, Others who appeared on the
program were Samuel Coleman and Daniel
Norris.
His Honor Judge Cooke, Clerk Sweet
land, Chief Child and dignitaries "made
no bones" OF laughing, for not to laugh
at the testimony given was to be without
the semblance of good nature.
Mrs. Aggie Robinson was fined 81, Mrs.
Bryant swished out OF the court room
scot free, and "Sally" smiled.

MIGHT WALKERS DEFENCE.

In the Sixth District Court this morn
ing Lawyer Brennan defended Evelyne
Jones, charged with being a common
night walker. Mr.. Brennan said that he
was defending the girl in behalf OF his
fellow lawyer, who had taken an interest in
her because her mother worked in the court
house, and he felt that the girl must be
saved. He told Judge Cooke that he had
given his services, and that he wanted
him to help him out, or in other words 10
discharge the girl. Her reputation was
such, however, that dismissal was not in
order, the judge thought, so she was
bound over in the sum OF $500.
