Arrested on Suspicion.

While exploring the alley IN the
rear of the Enterprise block, at 1890
last Saturday night Marshall Williams
discovered two we'll dressed strangers
secreted in the back Of Pierce's tin
store. The marshall placed them
under arrest. The men gave theii
names as Edward Perry and Edward
Parker. Perry claimed Omaha as hi
place ofresidence, and Parker Battle
Creek, Mich. They failed to give a
satisfactory account Of themselves and
were incarcerated in the city's bastil'
pending "a further investigation
Afterwards as no evidence OF wrong
doing could be found against them
they were sent on their way rejoicing
and the town lost another source O
revenue.

A trio of fellows from somewhere
went on a "toot" in Wellington one
night lately, and drove their horse
through the streets on a lope, while
they were yelling like band Of Co.
mache Indians on the war path. Again
a day or two later, we noticed three
other fellows in certain alley with 9
bottle of 'forty-rod" and a pistol
They were pretty far gone, and did
not make a disturbance. These two
cases furnished the town authorities
an opportunity to add somewhat to the
revenue, but they were not taken ad'
vantage of.
