Hot Time In Jail
Furniture and Other
Village Property
Smashed
Jail Filled With Disorderliss
Numerous saturday Might and
sunday Morning.

There was veritable hot time in thu
village lookup last Saturday night o.
rather Sunday morning, for the numer
GUS prisoners who were incarcerateC
were filled with Red Jacket whiskey anc
bent on getting even with the munich
pality ia some way for having been ar
rested. Up to II O'Clock things were
rather slow with the officers and only
two arrests were made, but after that
hour they began to come in in pairs until
eight or nine were pulled.
Then they began to smash the furni-
ture in the jail and about everything
that was in sight was broken 70 pieces.
But If they figured on getting even with
the village in this manner they made
serious mistake. for IL was added TO the
amount of the damages assessed in the
justice courts yesterday.
Business in the courts never was rs
brisk for many day as 1t was yester-
day. The cases were nearly all DRINKS
and disorderles and "a few rows. Officer
Ward arrested a couple of well known
young men whom he caught engaged in
a fistic encounter in the alley between
Fifth and Sixth streets. They, with "A
few of their friends, were having the
matter out with all TIE seriousness of
professional pugilists. The entire Darty
was somewhat the worse for drink and it
seems that the two in question had some
quarrel between themselves earlier in the
evening and were about to settle it in
true sportsmen style.
The fight had progressed TO about the
fifth round when the police interfered and
the two fighters were landed in the Jail
by MIR. Ward.
When up before Justice Curtis yester-
day they pleaded guilty to the charge
and were assessed fine of So and costs
Ich, which they paid. The men who
held the sponges we're not arrested.
Officer Murphy also arrested a couple
of men for participating in a row on the
street near the News office at late hour
Saturday night. They were stopped by
the officer and told to go home and he
would not arrest them, but they contin-
ued their fighting and were doing each
other up rather promiscuously when he
arrested two of the party and the rest
got away. The two in question were
named Sacris and Iaskey .Iackola and
each paid SO fine before Justice curtis,
which amount included the costs. The
officer has warrant for the arrest OF
another who was in the same party.
Officer ok arrested female who has
been around town for some time and is
decidedly OF the soiled dove order. She
was making quite disturbance on the
street and the marshal thought the town
was better rid OF such characters. He
took her to the end OF the city and gave
her an hour to get out. She got, and it
safe TO say that she will not be back
soon, unless she wants to be sent over
for short time in the county Jail.
A man named McNab also paid a fine
OF S3 and costs before Justice Curtis YES
terday for being drunk Saturday night.
He was arrested by the marshal and
pleaded guilty to the charge preferred.
In Justice Fishers court there were
four cases yesterday. Officer Stukle had
Vic Granhall up for being drunk and dis
orderly on the street last Saturday night
and Oscar Johnson was up for the same
offence. They both pleaded guilty and
paid small fines and the costs OF court.
Officer McClelland arrested couple of
men named John Hanko and John Maggi
for creating noise and disturbance on
the location Saturday night. They both
made deposits for their appearance but
go far have failed to show up.
