There May be Spice in
Probate Court Work.
SOLD LIQUOR TO A MINOR.
Thomas Mitch, I'll Arraigned Yesterd ay
Afternoon ALI the Live News.

The docket of the Probate Court Is
very small one for today's session, there
being only three cases to come up for con-
sideration. There seems to be as much
duliness and quiet in the affairs of the
dead as Of the living during these days of
tropic heat. Can it be that 1t is from the
same OF a similar cause?
From the wording of one of the adver-
tisements 1t looks as If there might be
trifie of spice ID the proceedings in re-
gard to one of the cases set down for the
afternoon. 1t has the appearance OF ask
ing for writ OF ejectment, or for an
"action Of CUSTER"
In the Court.
The Justice Court this morning had
grist hardly large enough to warrant
starting up the wheels. But they had to
turn just the same, as the poor victim OF
the drink habit found to his cost.
"Drunk and revellIng, what do you
say?'
"Guilty."
"Two and COSTS"
1t would almost seem as II that formula
would repeat itself automatically after "a
time, SO often and so regularly Is 1t
heard.
Yesterday afternoon Thomas Mitchell,
"barkeep" for Fred Law, was arraigDed in
the court on charge OF selling liquor to
a minor, one Mary Broulette. He ad-
mitted evidence sufficient to convict, al.
though he plead not guilty, and will
doubtless suffer the penalty which is very
severe. Some Of the "stuff" was recovered
and has been sent to tie State assayer for
analysis.
Mitchell claimed that he would have a
perfect right to send his child to sbuy
whatever he wanted. But Chief Gold
smith did not interpret the statute In that
way, neither did His Honor, and &C the
majesty of the Law will be vindicated.
Help Him Out.
Lemonade, the very best made, sold by
small George Alix, under the big sun
shade, on Railroad street, and Its great
lemonade, too. He took In one dollar and
eighteen cents yesterday, and hopes to
beat the record today. Help him out II
you pass that way.

his wheel for the parade tonight. He will
carry "top hamper" that runs up some
six feet and over above the saddle, as the
Lieut.. Col. is himself only about three
feet high. It would seem as II this ambi.
tious attempt will be like Lord Dun
dreary's story of the tail that wagged the
dog.
