Little Misunderstanding

Sarah Porter and Lizzie Nix, damsels OF
the molasses candy shade, were GUESSING
each other in a loud tone OF VOICE. aho
officer Johnson thinking the viragos were
about to mix" entered their wigWam ana
threw a chilling influence over tine assem-
bly,.
Lizzie had put another woman's furniture
ont in the yard the other woman seemingly
being imbued VITA the idea that her per-
scnal charms were sufficient remuneration
without being called on for house rent;
but Liz. seeing the matter through differ
emit glasses. the household effects were
cast into the yard, with the result that
riotous scene followed and might indeea
have attained to great dignity had not the
gentleman in blue rudely gathered Lizzie
and Sarah. 1t then awaited them naught
to cry mr.. Johnson, turn me loose, for
Policeman johnson is a martinet IN the
carrying out of the law to the letter and
inexorable in the discharge OF duty.
Brought before the throne, both denied
that they were preparing for combat when
arrested, the butt end of whip seen In
Lizzie's hand being simply used, as
she explained, to poke de mattras," and
was not intended as an implement of war.
Indeed, Liz denied the charges in toto,
and solemnly asservated that she was a
member of the Baptist church in Montgom-
cry.
Her denials as we'll as those of Sarah
we're profitless-fear's labors lost, indeed

Proved Good Character

George Kirk was charged with appropri-
ating to his own use S. in hard cash, the
lawful property of Mamie Brown. Both
of the parties are colored, but of different
shade, George also wearing mutton chop
whskers. Mamie said her purse contained
$40, and that George had taken 1t. 1t was
shown that there was a difference of opin-
ion as to the amount contained in the
purse; however, George. saying he was a
benedict, and not wishing to be thought
untrue to his Penelope, agreed to pay the
money claimed to have been lost, and it
was shown that he had made one payment
of $3.50.
Several white people, as well as members
of his own race, testified to the good char
acter of George, and the judge was i'm
pressed-so much so that he said that when
ones own people did not condemn them
they were pretty nearly all right, and
thereon discharged the accused.

POLICE COURT

Being easily susceptible to the influence
of strong drink, James Wilcox, young
white man, when he had INDUCED for a
short period in the delights of the Glow
ing BOWL" was so befuddled that he could
not explain to the court yesterday morning
what became of $3.50 of the money C$0 pos
sessed by himself when he started drinking,
he having only ten cents when the fumes
of the bowl" had sufficiently cleared away,
leaving his reason in a normal state.
1t seems that he and another young man,
Hooks by name, were drinking together,
and that-according to the testimony of the
yellow porter in Ferguson's saloon-the
dizzy Wilcox had also treated "a tall.
spare-made negro man" to a drink. Up to
this point the facts in the case were fairly
clear, but beyond this all was shrouded in
gloom. 1t was stated that the festive
Hooks had taken hold of Wilcox, and had
drawn a knife and threatened to "slice"
James The mysterious tall, spare-made"
coon was also alluded to as possibly cher
ishing designs on the "wad" possessed by
Jimmie.
The saloon man, Ferguson, protected Will
cox, and the latter left the bar So did
Hooks, but tits said they went in opposite
directions Later on Wilcox was discovered
sitting in an alley, and negro man, Robert
Coleman, soon appearing, he was arrested
and charged with robbing Wilcox. Another
negro man said he had heard Wilcox say
to Coleman, "are you trying to go through
me?" some time before the officer appeared
When much time had been consumed III
examining witnesses the affair was sui
couded in mystery, and Judge Feagln CON-
tinued the case of Hooks until FRIDAY.
Another charge against Coleman, hat Oh
yagrancy, was carried over until tomorrow.

full with whom he drinks the next nme'

A "Oueer" Case


Joe Cioncido, a vender of Hamburg
steaks, was before Hissoner charged with
passing queer fifty-cent piece on Bert
Allen. Bert went into Cioncido's wiener
wurst foundry and ate a Hamburg steak
in an orderly way, afterwards rendering
him, who, for the sake of euphony, we will
simply call "Joe"-tendering Joe a dollar
and received what was apparently the
proper change, and it would have been had
each coin received been genuine, but this
was not the case. A half-dollar piece re-
ceived among the change wasn't all there,
and Joe professed utter ignorance as to
knowing anything about the "queerness"
of this half. The police officer making the
arrest testified as to Aliens telling him of
the affair, and after few minutes thought
the ruler of the court said he would let the
United States court pass on the matter, and
instructed Officer Burke to carry the pris-
oner before United States Commissioner
Cornish.

A Mixed Up Affair

Edna Coleman was accused of filching
the sum of one dollar from Oscar Sea-
bright, he applying at her home for lodg-
ing, saying he had no money, but a good
excuse which latter was that he had no
place upon which to repose his "kinky'
head and the tender Edna took him in, and
also his one dollar, which, upon rising the
next morning, he said had been stolen from
him, though declaring the night before to
be without that which is said to be the root
of all evil.
Oscar testified that Edna had put her
cape under his head for a pillow. Awaken
ing the next morning to the music of a do
mestic disagreement waged with vigor by
Edna and her master" Oscar donned his
habiliments and discovered his loss. Ed
mas brother-in-law, according to her state
ment, had invaded the house with his pres
ence that morning, and he may have cap
tured the buck as she also suggested,
but he had flown. In point of fact, Banana
Sims, the aforesaid brother-in-law, could
not be found, and Judge Feagin continued
the case until tomorrow in the hope of new
developments.

The Cattle Combine.

It is reported that the Consolidated
Cattle company, who are to control the
large cattle interests of Texas and New
Mexico. have also cast their eyes To-
ward Arizona and will endeavor to IN
corporate many of the larger Arizona
cattle concerns into the mammoth
pool, says the Tombstone Prospector.
As the largest cattle owners OF the ter
ritory have their herds in Cochise
county, and the further fact that the
ranges would be practically adjoining
those in New Mexico, on which options
are already secured, color is lent the
theory that the proposed combination
will also operate in this territory and
have holdings in this county. Should
the company embrace large individual
cattle holders and companies in this
county, 100000 cattle could be easily
included in the deal and clear range
to the adjoining holdings in New Mex
leo be gained thereby.
1t is understood negotiations are
now on and an effort being made to
carry the plan into effect As the mat
ters of the company now stand nothing
less than the round up of 6 ~, 90 head
of cattle on ranches in the Panhandle
district of Texas and New Mexico is
contemplated by the promoters of the
Consolidated Company.
The cattle business during the last
few years has furnished enormous pro-
fits to ranchmen and breeders. At
present the prices for cattle on the
Chicago market are higher than they
have been during any summer in the
last twenty years. The feeding condi-
tions on the ranches are also better
than they have been for several years,
and altogether the chances are favor
able that with the formation of the
cattle pool the Arizona interests may
be found included.
