In graphic and vivid word-pictures Mr.
Walker told of scenery on sea and river

in an apt anecdote.

STRUCK A CRIPPLE
B. B. Langdon Assaulted Woman
Without Provocation

If B. b. Langdon is not heavily fined this
morning in the police court 1t will not be
because he does not deserve severe punish
ment. He was convicted yesterday of bat
terry and practically admitted his guilt. His
victim was Miss Minnie Bower, a cripple,
who cannot walk without crutch. The
young woman had been introduced to
Langdon several weeks ago, but was not
well acquainted with him. Early Wednes-
day evening she was standing on Main
street, near Third. with her married Sis
ter, when Langdon approached. He had
been drinking and the two women tried
to avoid him. He asked Miss Bowers where
she was going, and she promptly and cor
rectly answered that 1t was none of his
business. He then slapped her in the face
several times.
In his own defense, Langdon said that
'it was all JOSH and that he had slap
ped the woman just for fun. The court did
not take that view of the matter, and
promptly declared Langdon guilty and
that sentence would be passed today.

WILL FIGHT THE CASES
Saloon Men Secure Continuances in
Sunday Closing Cases

Ten saloon keepers were before the po-
lice court yesterday, charged with VIOLA
tions of the Sunday closing ordinance.
Nearly all of them had been there before
and their appearance yesterday was SIM
ply because their cases had been continued
to that day, and, it was supposed, would
be tried. None of them were heard, how
ever. and all were continued. There is too
much at stake for them to plead guilty, be-
cause the police commission has estab-
lished a precedent of revoking licenses
which it is thought will be followed in
all cases in which conviction is secured
Anticipating prompt action by the COM
mission, the saloon men will fight each
case. The cases against James Madison,
Harry Clark, L. E. Mittendorf and John
Haley were continued until today. Fred
Hoppe and ]. G. Viscet had their cases
passed until tomorrow; W. H. Gerke will
appear again Monday; the cases against F.
NJ. Harris and C. II. Burchard were con-
tinued until March 1st, and that of S.
Sewer until March 18th. All of the accused
are under bond.
