cox TAKES A TUMBLE.
The Patrol Wagon Breaks Down, But
Only Dignity Is Damaged.

The police patrol wagon is broken
down and Driver Cox, who is wont to
handle the reins with such aplomb and
distinction. is broken up. 1t happened
about o'clock p M Friday while drunk
was being hauled to the station from the
corner Of Fourth and Main streets. Off
Ger Miles Long occupied the wagon with
the inebriate, Cox holding down the
front seat in solitary grandeur.
AS they rounded the corner of Third
and Broadway the kingbolt broke sud-.
denly, allowing the front wheels to come
loose from the remainder of the vehicle.
Down dropped the front end of the
wagon, Long and the drunk being piled
in a heap under the drivers seat. Cox
was precipitated with violence to the
hard asphalt pavement, landing on his
expansive and rotund paunch with jar
that simply left him speechless.
Old Grover, the patrol horse, being
more accustomed to standing still than
striking a klamath gait, remained true
to first principles and stopped. When
Long had extricated himself and his
prisoner from under the seat he assisted
the driver to his feet, and with the aid
of artificial respiration brought him
around again. No one was hurt, only
Cox's dignity had suffered and he went
home to recuperate. The other wagon
was brought out for the remainder OF the
night and all was well.

travellers return to Jerusalem at night in
preference TO accepting the limited hos
