POLICE COURT.

The scenes in the police court yester-
dav morning were of an unusual char
aeter For some time past the docket
in this court has been small and OF
but little Importance. Yesterday
morning it took two hours to dispose
of the docket.
Ida Jones was up upon charge OF
larceny and receiving. Upon investi-
cation she was bound over to court.
Annie David and Laura Lea were
arraigned for disturbing the peace.
For this little past time they paid
500 each and costs.
C. T.. Browning had imbibed a little
too free and he had to pay $500.
Chas. johnson and Frank Hawkins
had engaged in an affray and the
eagle-eyed officers caught on to the
racket. They handled deadly weapons,
so it reached the ears of the court, and
a bond was required for their appear
ance at the next term of Durham SUI
perior court.
1t begins to look like the approach
of the election brings trouble to some
people at least. The peace and dignity
of the city has been well maintained
for some time. The violations have
been few and the officers of very in
significant character Now they com
nit felonies and use deadly weapons.
Election times ought to be the most
peaceable known to this people.
