The brilliancy OF an electric ngnt ID only
equalled by it's shadows; both conditions
are employed to procure results. Al s;4o
last night Sergeant Louks and omcer
Borden used the shadows cast on the cor
ner of Pine and Watson streets and won
dered why Frederick Law who has saloon
opposite to where they were standing,
came to his door and peered cautiously up
and down the street.
Their curiosity was further excited when
Lawrence Mccarthy, 10 years OF age, came
from the saloon bearing pail OF what
policeman's suspicion would not permit
to be milk, and experience coupled with
quick action proved to be beer. In other
shadows Miss Maggie Callahan stood, and
toward her quickly passed Lawrence with
the nail. 1t was case OF unrequited thirst,
for the sergeant seized the can at the mo-
ment Maggie thought she had 1t. The boy
had heard that discretion was the better
part of valor and ran away, but Officer
Borden is something of sprinter, and the
race was short one.
The officers, the boy and the evidence
appeared before Mr.. Law the next mo-
ment; he was charged with selling beer to
a minor and told that he was under arrest.
Two women were drinking in the place at
the time and the saloon keeper refused to
even temporarily close his business, or to
submit to the sergeant's' interference;
with sudden spring he siezed the pail and
turned 1t over, but the officers were too
quick for him and caught 1t before its
contents had been lost. The next second
found nippers on the saloon keeper and ne
went TO the police station.
There was excitement around the cor
ners. Lawrence is the son OF James Nc
Carthy of Dexter street, and his parents
were greatly exercised over the boys en-
ployment by the Callahan girl and his be-
ing taken by the officers TO- the station.
They accompanied him and were allowed
TO take him back to his home when the
complaint had been entered upon the
blotter.
In his sudden trouble Mr.. Mccarthy Is
said to have attempted to rescue his boy
from the officers grasp, but he was consid-
erately forgiven as the circumstances were
annoying. The sergeant was well drenched
by the beer and smelled like brewery
when he came in. The suit was wreck
and can never again be used as respectable
growler.
This morning Law was arraigned before
Judge Goh, pleaded not guilty and his
trial was set for Aug. 3.
Hugh Turner, who is under arrest for
assaulting Edward King, watchman at the
Electrolyte Copper Company's works, was
found guilty and fined 50 and costs. He
appealed.
John f. Quinn, who yesterday pleaded
not guilty to the charge OF drunkenness,
rctracted and was fined - and costs.
