City Jail Year ago, Recaptured
"A Drunken Woman Who Insist
ed on Celebrating the Result of
the Election.


was tried before Judge Wenger in po-
lice court yesterday. Glenn was
charged with drunkenness and disturb
ing the peace and pleaded guilty when
brought up in court. 1t was alleged
that Glenn went into drug store, one
night last week, and being in an intoxi
Gated condition fell asleep on seat in
the store. The clerk told him to go out,
but ne refused, and when Nightwatch-
man Dobson also told him to leave,
he refused again, using some very
strong language to emphasize his re-
fusal.
Dobson then put him out by force
and, it was charged, the attorney re-
scented it with the result that Dobson
struck him. Dobson said that he tried
to get Glenn 10 so home, but ne re
fused and became SO abusive and ere
ated such disturbance that he called
for the patrol wagon and took him 10
Jail. When Glenn came up, for trial
the next morning, he asked for a con-
tinuance, which was granted and he
was allowed to go until the time for
his trial, on his own recognizance.
Yesterday, when he appeared in the
court room to answer to the charge, he
was greatly affected and only enough
of the evidence was heard to determine
the nature of the case. Upon the re-
quest of the prosecution, sentence was
suspended and Glenn was allowed to
depart in peace. 1t was thought by the
complaining witness that the defendant
had been punished sufficiently and he
did not wish to make it more severe.
About four years ago Glenn was clerk
of the same court

Ed Williams was arrested yesterday
and locked UP in the city jail in order
to give him an opportunity to serve out
an old sentence which was still hang
ing over him. About year ago Will
Iianls was arrested by Detective Sheets
on charge of stealing some harness.
He was tried and found guilty of the
offense and sentenced, by Judge Wen
ger to serve so days in Jail. The har-
ness was stolen from Ralph SNOWFALL,
and it was proven that Williams was
the thief.
At the time he was first arrested he
went under different name than the
one he now bears and it could not be
| learned what the other one was. After
| being sentenced he was confined in the
| city Jail and served only three days of
his term when he made his escape
The manner of his leavetaking was as
follows: 1t was the custom to have
one Of the TRUSTEES of the Jail do the
work around the stable in which the
patrol horses are kept. Early every
morning one of the policemen would let
the hostler out before the jailer reached
the hall Williams knew of the ar
rangement and used the knowledge to
his advantage.
On the morning of the fourth day Of
incarnation, he was at work in the din
ing hall when Officer William Hilton
went into the jail to let out the hostler.
Williams saw him and asked if he was
looking for the man who took care of
the horses Hilton said he was, and
Williams replied that he was the man.
Hilton, not suspectinS the trick that
was being played on him, let Williams
go, and the place that knew him once
knew him no more.
Ever since that time the officers have
been on the sharp lookout for Williams,
and it was not until yesterday that
he was seen. Officer Hemple recognized
him on the street, arrested him and
took him to the station.
a telephone message called an officer
to the Telluride block yesterday after
noon to arrest a woman who was in the
building. When the policeman arrived
he found woman there who was in an
intoxicated condition. He arrested her
and she was taken to the station
where she spent her time swearing
vengeance on the Whole police force.
She would give absolutely no informa-
ton in regard to herself, except that
she was celebrating the result of the
election" She wanted to know what
right the police had to arrest her for
celebrating.
THE men do it," she said. and 1
guess the women have as much right
as the men,
''All right replied one of the officers,
'f you are so anxious to be treated like
man we will do you the same as we
would a man in your condition"
With that she was taken to Jail and
locked UP on the charge of being drunk.
Henry E. Carter was arrested on a
| charge of violating the estray ordi-
nance It is alleged that he unlawfully
held horse in custody.
Jacob Floan and W. H. Mcfarland
were each fined So for being drunk.
Ben F. Campbell was also tried for the
same offense and fined $40.
