JOINTIST DEFIANT.
Was Angry at Being Disturbed and
Was Fined 5000.

When the trial of Chris Antoine came
up in police court Tuesday afternoon
the offender was angry because he had
been disturbed by the officers, that af-
ternoon.
Are you ready for trial?" asked
Judge Guy.
Yes" was the answer.
you are charged here with selling
Intoxicating liquors. Are you guilty or
not guilty?"
Il have a government license to sell
liquor" said Antoine. Il have been
selling liquor and L intend to keep on
selling liquor" he answered in a de-
faint manner to the judges question.
The prisoner probably expected the
usual fine of 500 but Judge Guy had a
sort of you will, will YOU look in his
eye and Antoine nearly collapsed when
the judge said, Il fine you 5000 and you
will be committed until it is paid"
That means that Antoine will probably
not sell any more liquor for 200 days.

EQUINE DERELICTs.
Horses Turned Out to Die Sold at
Auction.

Two horses had been in the city
pound and no one claimed them. The
fact was that from the appearance of
the horses it did not look as if anyone
would claim them.
The horses were thin and poor when
put in the pound but a diet of lath and
shingle nails had not fattened them
any. 1t was an expense to the city to
keep them there even if their diet was
peculiar, so Chief Ramsey decided to
auction them off. The horses had eaten
about 81 worth of hay and oats apiece
and the proper thing to do was to sell
them for enough to cover the expense
money.
The horses were led through the back
streets to North Topeka, where Chief
Ramsey was waiting for them. He was
standing on the top of an old pork bar
rel and commenced to auction them off.
Here, herei' he shouted, How much
am I bid"
I'm give 49," said a man in the
crowd.
THE man says $685." shouted Chief
Ramsey.
mo didn't" yelled the man. ct
meant 25 cents
The chief was somewhat taken aback
but the next man bid only so cents. The
price was finally worked up to 81. The
chief was warm and tired and soon
as he heard a bid for 81 he said sold"
The other horse only brought so cents.
Two men did the bidding and the
chief enquired what they would do with
the horses.
Il keep dogs" said the first.
81 run a tannery." said the second.
