HE INVITES MAGISTRATE SASSE
TO MAKE SEVERAL ARRESTS,
INCLUDING A DEPUTY SHERIFF..
The criminal side of magistrates
court brings him in sharp contact with
many ignorant and vicious persons. He
is seldom surprised at anything which
comes beneath his official notice. But
once in great while something turns
up which lifts him from the plane of
the matter-Of-fact, and then he evinces
a lively interest in the occurrence.
On Saturday Magistrate Sasse found
in his mail a letter enclosed in an en-
velone from the sherin's office, Elkton.
Md. The address on the envelope was
an almost illegible scrawl, which. once
deciphered read: Square at sasse.

Wondering what he was to encounter
the magistrate opened the letter. He
struggled with it for several hours and
then drifted into the Evening Journal
