On Bread and Water.

Peter Mclaughlin one OF the gang OF
"drunks" arrested for disorderly conduct
on the streets, has refused to undergo the
indignation OF working on the streets with
a ball and chain attached to his ankle and
as result of his refusal he is fasting in
the city lookup on bread and water.
Pete, to whom the cells OF tie eity lock-
up are quite familiar, seems to be in a
very contrary mood at present, He won't
pay his fine; won't permit anyone else 10
pay it for HIM, and in fact won't do any
thing the officials want him to do.
In the long run. however. he will paw
dearly for his actions. He will be fed on
nothing but the unpalatable diet OF bread
and water until he consents to work, and
for every day he is missing, he will be re-
qured to word day extra when he doe
decide to work, for it is thought that the
bread and water will soon bring him
around to the decision to go to work. No
one is allowed to see him and therefore
there are no chance of any food being
smupgled into his cell.
The action of the Mayor in putting the
prisoners to work on the street is very
commendable and none of the citizens
would object if that policy were continued.
The business portion Of Queen street has
been put in good clean condition by the
ball and chain gang. Mifflin Pile is sup
erintending the work.
pete Mclaughlin. who was feasting
on bread and water in the city lookup on
account of his refusal to work with the
ball and chain gang, paid his fine and
costs, amounting to SIz.2o, and was re-
leased.
