SEEN AND HEARD
in TIMMONY'S COURT

The case against Joe Wallace for at
tempted burglary was dismissed by
Judge Timmony, who warned the de-
PENDANT that he had better not be
found within the city after today. The
reason for dismissal was the inability OF
the main witness, Miss Clark, to APP
pear The lady has measles Harry
Josephs, another witness, is away from
the city.
DRINKS and vags completed the little
list of police court offenders.
Alma Severine of the first named
class, whose other and true name is
Gus Johnson, and who has been there
before, started off with a wall that
nearly broke up court when his name
was called. In d heart-rending tone,
with penitence in every line of his face,
Gus appealed to the court, the latter
jollying him along at intervals
"Oh, yudge. Ay vas so awfully temp
tationed by dose fellars, Ay could not
help taking, Won, two, tree, yudge. Oh,
Ay vas so sorry. Ay nefer will drunk
some more. Ay vas yust get place to
york in canyen, yudge, an now Ay lose
hem eff Ay get in vail. oh, yudge, Ay
hat ben goot boy always, yasser,
yudge, befor Ay nefer vas dat way
yudge. Ay vas'-
y y
sorry?"
Sorry? oh, yudge you nefer can
tell how sorry Ay ben, Ay vas. Ay hat
no Won to keep by me, yudge, an no
pody vas care, Ay know, ANYHOW, ven
Ay hat ben drink. oh, Ay vas so
sorry"
Gus went on in this strain until the
court and spectators wept. He is an
timer, but after such talk as that

S. G. Obrey admitted the whole thing,
but didn't know at the time that the
whisky was so bad. The information
cost him So,
Three of the vags brought in from
the Short Line were about as hard a
looking lot as the court has seen re-
Gently. The first claimed to be a stone
cutter, another a jack of all trades,
and the third a farmer.
"a farmer?" asked the court, in sur
prise.
yes. sir. went into butcher shop
yesterday and asked the boss for a
meal. What sort of a meal? SEE e.
"A meal of meat, sez I;''sausage pre-
ferred.' Well SEE e, do you play
poker?' Sure, sez I. Then I'll play
you a stack to see who pays for the
meal SEE e. So we went in the ice
house and played. He won.'
And did you pay for the meal?"
asked Clerk Diehl, thoroughly interest
ed by this time,
yes, I did. 1t wasn't such pud-
din as 1 thought it would be, and so
I'm broke
The Jack of all trades was asked if
he had asked for meal.
Not me- was the emphatic re-
Spouse. 81 came here tree days ago
wild four bits in me pocket, and I've
had it all along. and haven't asked for
nothin''
All were discharged, except a fourth
man, Edward Gardner, who is suspect
ed OF having peered into a Pocatello
freight car and hypnotized case of
canned tomatoes.
Chris Stevenson couldn't stay away
from Kimball's hostelry week. He
meandered in with officer Miner,
drunken than bowled owl, last night
Chris did. The officer, of course was
sober.
But George Raglan, or Reagan-his
name never has been spelled the same
way twice-could give Chris cards
and spades" at that game. George left
the jailer at Alb yesterday afternoon,
and at $3.50 was in the tolls again on the
same old charge. He beats Deacon
Johnson's cat all hollow. The surpris-
ing part of it is how and where he ac-
cumulates jag in such a brief space of |
time. This afternoon he will tell Judge
Timmony that he is going to Murray
to worll-he always tells that, but Muir
ray waits in vain.
