Il, Mattiugly, boarding house proprietors.
The burden of plaintiffs petition is that
at the instance of O'RourlS and Mattingly.
Police officer Nelson arrested plaintiff
upon the streets of Houston on january II
without cause or Il warrant aud took him
10 the police station, where Clerk Forrest
entered a charge of vagrancy against him
with the knowledge and consent of Chief
OF Police Blackburn.
Plaintiff was locked in the caiahoose for
twenty four hours, or until the afternoon
of January is, when he was taken before a
justice Of the peace and the charge against
him dismissed. He alleges that Nelson.
Matiugly and O'Rourk also tried To have
him arrested for swindling He alleges that
he was perfectly Innocent of any criminal

Ter nor . vagrant.

rapidly to that locality and in few mo-

cases, every looller-on suggested way
to get the wagon out Their suggestions,

people of Houston TO remove this burden.
When this is done the ladies can continue
their work in behalf of the homeless little

If you can't afford to send large

to send small one Give whatever you
