SAW THE RUSH.

Policeman Gordon, sauntering under the
trees on Missouri avenue, saw Eagan and
OiReilly rush in the saloon and followed
them. Before he got there they tumbied
out, followed by u beer keg that caIne near
hitting Gordon. He locked the men up at
the Sixth precinct station. Eagan sent
out for collateral, and got bis release.
O'Reilly was not SO fortunate, and faced
Judge Scott for the first time today.
. Gordon, who is known as "Old Ironsides,"
and used to be Mike Flynn's partner. told
the court in humorous way OF Bernard's
adventures.
They tried TO bum drinks in d saloon."
said Gordon, "and the barkeeper bum
barded them out.''
$50 they were half shot," said Mr.. Pugh,
eating cracked ice.
s"Exactly," said Gordon. II could
hardly get 'em in the wagon"
"Come here, my man. said his honor,
"and tell Inc about yourself
O'Reilly, with one leg just little bit
longer than the laws Of anatomy demand, a
pair OF nasty black eyes, and ferocious
air of contempt for Gordon, said he had
been "biIked' in u barrooIn.
.Dey done me dirt. jedge," he growled.
~ gives up one of dem new dollar bills
fer n couple of drinks, an ] don't git no
change no time.'
THE officer says you were trying to
drink withontmoney." remarked his honor,
"and guess he's right"
"Dere's oders," returned Bernard, sullen-
ly, accepting in silence his thirty days
sentence.
PLUNDERED THE ITALIAN.
The heart OF MinterP. Key pulses in warm
sympathy with the wrongs OF the Italian
colony here. He loves, tenderly and well,
tie children OF that land, which gave the
world Benniyente, Cellini, Giovanni, Boo
caccio and other seniuses of song andstory.
Yesterday when Mr.. Key saw three colored
boys plundering, by an ingenius method.
the fruit cart of Pietro Nardelo, he came
to the latter's assistance with police
whistle, and succeeded in having one of
the lads. Elijah Holland, arrested.
Mr.. Key, in court today, his iron gray
hair parted down the center, and a silk hat
N one hand, said: "Your honor, this boy
was robbing aspoor old Italian of his
fruit. He would grab few peaches off
the cart and coax the Italian to run
after him. While this was going on the
other boys helped themselves
1.-The Italian" said Mr.. Pugh, was be-
tween the devil and the deep blue sea-"
Key nodded in assent, and said be could
not stand idly by, SO he blew his whistle,
and policeman caught Elijah.
The boy refused TO defend himself, and
Judge Scott said, "$5 fine"
"You canx fine him, judge" said Clerk
cha xxyftb
Tie sentence was changed to thirty days.
AGAINsTEACH OTHER.
Policeman Hanley and a boynamed George
Powell swore SO vigorously against each
other, Judge Scott was puzzled who to be-
| lieve, and continued the case until both
| sides produce witnesses.
| Haniey said he saw Powell strike in the
| face girl lie was walking with. Defend
ant absolutely denied it, and said lIe and
| the girl were walking hand in hand.
This is certainly very singular" OBJ
served his honor. II don't know how to
settle this. 1t seems unnatural for the
boy to strike girl he claims to be
| friendly with. I shall carry the case
over until Monday, aud both the officer
and the defendant must procure some addi-
uonal testimony"
Powell was released on his personal
recognizance, much to the cbagriu Of
| Hanley, who was angered at bis word
being taken on equal grounds with the
| prisoners.
HaDley had the next case, which was
| connected with that Of Powell. The pris-
oner was Fred Rhodes, charged with dis
| orderly conduct In interfering with Hanley
| when he arrested Powell.
| Hanley said Rhodes tried to get between
the prisoner and himself.
On the other hand, Rhodes mdintaiped
| that he simply asked Hanley why he had
arrested Powell. ~
'.He said none of your busi-
Dess.'" testified Rhodes. HE struck me
IN the face, and got arrested, too"
Judge Scott gave Hanley the best side OF
the argumentand gave Rhodes fifteen days.
