DE KREKo WANTS GUNS.
Tried to Rent Six Revolvers and Has
Six Turks.

De Kreko, he of Streets of Cairo"
fame, was on the warpath yesterday af7
ter the hearing of his assault and bait
terry case before Judge Tinmony. To
say that he was not satisfied with the
verdict, is putting it mildly. He ranted
and raved and said unintelligible things
in his native jargon.. The climax of it
all came when he went into Browning
Bros gun store and wanted to rent six
revolvers. The clerk told him that they
had none to rent. but that if he desired
to make a purchase he could be easily
accommodated. Then De Kreko want
ed to buy secondhand revolvers, but
the store had none to sell. He refused to
say for what purpose they were to be
used. but left the store in disgust.
D. e. Brockbank. who is connected
with Browning Bros establishment,
notified Chief of the Palace Police Hill
last night of the affair. He said that
there was a wild look in De Krekoss
eyes when he asked for the guns. 1t is
a significant fact that there are just
six Turks connected with the show at
the palace.

WANTED PRESENTS RETURNED
WHY JESSE BRANDON CALLED
UPON MRS. MARCRoFT.
She Had Him Arrested For Trespass
and He Is Now Behind the
Bars.

Jesse Brandon was arrested yester-
day afternoon at the instigation of Mrs.
Marcroft, who lives on Eighth South
and Second West. He was charged
with trespass. Mrs. Marcroft COM
planned that Brandon had been hang
ing around her place all day, trying
to force his attentions upon her. The
couple, according to Brandon, have
lived together, but could not be happy.
The crisis came when Jesse left. All
he wanted yesterday, he says, was his
presents. He tried to get into the
house several times, but did not sue
coed. The patrol wagon went out with
officer Simpson, and Brandon now re-
poses in the palace behind the court
house, thinking how foolish man
can be.

fering but little from Rowe's. He said
he called upon the policeman to ami
hilate crowd of rubbernecks on the
streets of Cairo, and Rowe failed to re-
spond, whereupon the manager ordered
the policeman to get off the street. The
latter couldn't see the point, and things
were warming up, when Judge Colborn
was sent for to adjudicate the case.
De Kreko and the judge were exchang-

said: You're a liar" and Rowe belted
