He Disposed of Police Court Cases in

McMurray's grocery store at NIcDonough
and East Broad streets. Davis was pros
ecuted by ]. Frierson, a restaurant keep

left the case to be sent to the City Court.
John Demere, a negro often arrested
and fined, was up for assault and battery
on Bertha Rice in a house at Broughton
and Reynolds streets. The desired evil
dence was not adduced and the case was
continued.

The Department Not Represented in
the Griffin Army.
The police department has not lost d
man during the sweep to secure volun-
teers for the Cuban crusade. This is
probably on account of the fact that none
of the force were directly connected with
any of the military organizations.
Long since the Police Commission fore
BODIED a possible call for troops at some
time, and lest it should break into the
force, required that every man sever his
connection with the military. Then, too
military duty is required of the police. and
to be connected with company at the
same time would make their duties too
onerous. There is any amount of patriot
ism among the men, but they were not
connected as regular members of the mill
tary, which relieved them from more or
less obligation in the matter of volunteer
