lie had better right to his own prop
erty than the city, and proceeded to
demolish the fence that restrained his
cattle, against the warnings and pro-
tests Of a star-gemmed guardian Of
public properties. Jim was "hauled
up" before Judge Schomber and not
let down till 81 and costs, amounting
to $6.l5, rolled from his pocket. Thi,

As Mr.. G. is "a years OF age. this act
affords q remarkable Indication that
the fires of youth are not always ex.
tinguished by the frosts of age. 1t
seems to have been q true affair of
the heart, for the parties had been &C.

punishment for his misdeeds, Sunday
afternoon, near the trestle on Union

intended victim. According to the
brothers report the miscreant and
two associates, who were with him
Sunday were professional Washers"
and in the habit of making visits to
this city for enticement of young girls
from their homes. 1t is hoped that
the drubbing their leader received will
restrain this gang of vipers from max
ing another incursion upon innocence,
and that other communities will be
as fortunate in infiicting condign pun
ishment upon such pests.
