took his own time about getting around

the court. That is why Tim is now IN
the county Jail. He had been wan-ad
as n witness for the plaintiff and was
about the court house early in the dRy,
but as he did not remain long, Bailif
Sidley went out To look him up, and
when he found him he gave him a
friendly tip to be on hand hen wanted,
but Tim wanted to show that he
couldn't be ordered around that way
and remained down town. When his
name was called in court he didn't re-

formed the court that Holland was
drunk. The plaintiff was compelled to
close his case without Hollands testi-
mony. When II suited his convenience
the man showed up n staggered into
the court room. Judge Brantly called
him up and asked him where he nad

Holland bucked.

said to the bailiff. You don't think

Holland showed fight. and the bailiff
was compelled TO choke him INTO sub

abusive, and went for the officer again.

down, and de was then thrown into jail.
