A LANDLORDS TROUBLE.
| The man was Charles Burnthaven. who
has had trouble for some time past with
| tenants who rent portion OF his house at
| 5O3 Twelfth street. Not long go he was
| in Judge Miller's court as complainant
| against Mrs. Virginia Mitchell and her
| daughter, whom he charged with assault
| ing him. On that occasion the ladies were
| fined So each, they alleging their landlord
| tried to turn the water off in their bath
room and was driven out. Mrs. Mitchell
| admitted she struck him with lath.
| Since that time the relations between
| all parties have been considerably strained.
The other roomers, among them Major
Toler, an ex-Confederate officer, sided
with the Mitchells, and Friday morning,
when Mr. Burnthaven at daybreak blew
bugie for nearly half an hour, the major
suggested to the ladies that they swear
| out warrant for their landlords arrest
Burnthaven blew the horn SO loudly that
| it attracted the attention of Policeman
| Carlson and Special Officer Harry Wallace,
who appeared as witnesses against de-
| fendant this morning.
Mrs. Mitchell, a very handsome lady Of
forty, with iron-gray hair, dark eyes and
olive complexion, in pronounced Vir-
gina accent, told Of her troubles with the
landlord She was followed on the stand
by the major, whois Southern gentleman
of the old school. He described Burnt
haven's conduct as being very atrocious,
referring to the latter all through lis tes-
timony as "the prisoner Burnthaven
is a sallow- complexioned individual, with
sickly appearance, quite contrast to the
ma jor who is brusque, sturdy and has color
in his face fresh as a baby's. After Carl
son and Wallace had testified, in addition
to a number of people living in the house,
Judge Kimball narrowed the testimony
down to the fact that Burnthaven pla yed
the Sweet Bye and Bye"
what does the information charge the
defendant WITH" his honor asked the clerk
"Disorderly conduct and profanity"
1--WE can't hold him on that" said the
Judge. 1T may be very annoying FOR 8
man to toot on q horn at daybreak," con
tinued his honor, but it is not disorderly
conduct, and it is surely not profanity fol
man to play The Sweet Bye and Bye.
This case is dismissed
Major Toler looked indignant, Mrs. Mitch
ell sorrowful and Burnthaven triumphant as
they all passed out.
FOND OF FLOWERS.
Edward Gillingham has u weakness fc-
the works of the goddess Flora, and this
weakness will cause him to spend the mex

reekng with the smell of liquor.
s'That's very unfortunate for you," sal
the court; you will have to pay fin
of SIS or go down for fifteen days" Gilling
ham was broke and had to walk back.

worked for sixteen years, charged with di.
: orderly conduct by Policeman Hoaglant

street, said Hoagland, land l told he

so locked her up"
When Mary testified it changed entirel
the status of the case. She said that sil
did speak loud but moved ON when I'll
officer warned her. Judge Kimball salt
"There seems to be a doubt in this cas-,
and, as the woman has been locked up a
night think her punishm ent has been suff
ciept "and lie dismissed the case.
