MAYOR DoAK's COURT,
Rooks-Briok Bats-Razors and
Other Weapons-The Musical
Instrument of Torture

Ah'S nas uecn u week of more
than unusual activity in police
court circles. The citizens of the
town have been so quiet for so long
that the Mayor and Sargeant were
getting out of practice and were
becoming discouraged. They feel
better now. There have been two
performances given lately,in which
rocks, bricks, razors and a consid-
erable amount of inflamatory con.
versation. The first took place last
saturday night at tho famous re.
sort of Iano Helmcndollar, in Will
iiainsDurg, south of town. The
principal performers were, Jane and
her nephew Jack Helmandollar
and a Catron woman, who had
been a guest of the Helmendollar
mansion--a summer boarder, as it
were, for some time. The Catron
woman had become an unwelcome
guest, and was ordered to leave
which she refused to do. A quar-.
rel ensued, in which rocks were
thrown through windows, etc. and
the air was blue and sulphurous
IN that district. All these facts,
and many others, were brought
out before his Honor Monday NOR.
nlng. After hearing MI tho evil
dence, n good deal of which would
not do to print, the Oatron woman
was fined $3.50 and given ten days
in the Hotel de Gillespie.
His Honor is % believer in
churches and when he returned
from church on Tuesday night,
where his wife had taken him, he
found Agnes Taylor on his steps
with the sargeant in charge. Agnes
said that "dat worthless niggcr,
Llndy, had done cut Rissy. with q
razer." The Mayor, whose mer-
clful bump is well developed, and
having just returned from church
ordered the Sergeant to let Malin-
da alone until morning, as sho had
a small child. Wednesday the par
ties were marched up to the bar.
The next case came before tho
tribune on Wednesday,. Upon
complaint of razewell citizens a
number of young men were ar
raigned before tho Mayor for dis.
turbing the quiet and slumbers of
the citizen of the East end. For
long time open air concerts and
free serenadcs have been given in
that part of the town, generally
at very late hour. The only mu.
steal instrument used, it seems,
being hoarse cracked drum, with
vocalsm thrown in For long
time it was supposed that his
crowd was acting as body-guard
to the Mayor when he visited that
section, but recent developments
proved this not to be the case.
Three young men of the town were
positively identified as the often
ders: and each fined and dismissed
with a lecture by the tribune on
the advisability of hereafter con.
Quoting their concerts in the day
time after due advertisement SO as
to allow the citizens of the town
time to get into the country. The
history of the police court this week
shows that the tribune has on his
war-paint and offenders had better
stand from under.

ton of the Jews in Russia and the antsemite agita-
ton in Austria and France seem to have promoted

the United States is more perfect than the people

To us in the light of history, his meaning is

Iused TO DO. Along and more or less an
cry conversation followed, In which Ed

remarks. In the course Of this converse

that no held Maj. Gotham and Col.

statement showing how quiet the camp

Young also asserted that the court Of in

Gen. Young fell; back upon his old po-
sitfon that the officers Of the Fifteenth

mutineers. Il didn't enlist to shoot vol

rather have Your condemnation for not

of my people at home for shooting their

A point that has not heretofore been
made is that the court martial which SEN

thought OF censuring two officers of the
