$50 days in jail, by Judge Kimball, for car

mitted his guilt.
Jones and two other soldiers came to the
city yesterday afternoon. and, after drink
ing heavily, got to skylarking on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. In front of the store Of
Mr.. ]. F. Oyster. corner of Pennsylvania

self in the door Of Mr.. Oysters store. -
Jones was Immediately arrested by Off
Ger Goss, but he resisted. 1t appeared to
the policeman that Jones intended to shoot
him, when Officer Sullivan reached the
scene and took the weapon away from
him. The party then started for the first
precinct station, but on the way Jones be-
came SO disorderly that it became neces-
sary, In the judgment of a policeman, to
hit him over the head.
Jones captain was in court when the
case was heard, and asked permission of
Judge kimball to take charge of Jones and
punish him at camp, but the latter declined
to permit this, saying it would be necessa-
ry to punish Jones by the imposition of a
fine. Judge kfmball explained to the cap
tain that Jones offense grew out of the
practice of soldiers bringing their pistols
to the city, and he requested the officer to
ask, through the proper channel, that the
commanding general at Camp Alger will
issue such an order as will put a stop to
this practice.
Louis Benjamin of the 18th Pennsylvania
Regiment pleaded guilty of a similar Of
tense, and was given a similar sentence.
