JUNE POETRY.
A Chicago Paper Prints Some Alleged 10 Have
Been Sent In.

our friends the poets. have favored ms

remarks the editor Of the Chicago Times

poetical consideration. 1t has been
touched upon before. but there is AN
adaGe to the effect that nothing ever be-
comes - old H. To preclude the pussibit-
ity Of saving something new about II.
This truth Is finely illustrated in some ~
the poems we are permitted to publish
here ana now;
Behold now with N aspect clear.
The kindly smiling June appear:
While in its train the sun displays
The force Of all its powerful rays
The blooming orchards all around
Are with the sweetest blossoms
crowned:
The cheerful birds now soar on high.
Ana sing. rejoicing To the sky.
The locust clad i'm smiling bloom.
Emits a fragrant. rich perfume.
Fond Flora. in her gauiy dress.
Keeps in the gardens her recess:
And now heholds with glowing eyes.
The sweetly smelling Towers arise;
While every field. am: every lane.
FNuting owns her plea mt reign.
With JOY we All behold
The cheerful crops tar farms unfold
The welcome robins tiy around.
And please us with their simple sound.
MuScdtine Iowa. Fred @. Shafnt.
Sweet June. how beauliiI /, and fair.
Love Is floating through the air.
Yer, alas, | sit alone
Meath the shady spreading trees.
List ming t. thv gentle drone
OF the merry, busy bees.
Thinking of the Olden days
Signing Ger the vanished past.
Wondering if our earthly ways
Fer again shall meet, at last.
II was underneath the moon
That we sat that night i'm June.
When he begged me for a kiss
And answered. saying: How
Can you ask to share the bliss
That you have NJ claim tO--now?
Nay, not Vet. Won have no right;
To refuse YOU | regret:
Were We pledged To we'd. YOU might,
But YOU have not Won me-yet."
Through the dew ana damp Of June.
Guarded by the faithful moon
| returned alune-alone!
And from out my stainless heart
All the olden joy had flown.
Leaving but lasting smart.
OFT | wonder why he ran
Like q faWn off through the woods
What a WondrOus thing is man
With his fanCieS ana his moods.

CLEARING
CRIMINAL DOCKET.
Nearly a Dozen Cases Cleared Away
Tuesday.
ALL PRISONERS ARE NEGROES.
Several Are Convicted While in Other
Cases The Verdict Was in Their
Favor. The Criminal Docket Will
Be Cleared This Week.

Yesterday session of superior court
was devoid of special interest, though
good days work was done in clearing
dozen or more cases from the docket.
In the case of Dink Minis Jury re-
turned a verdict of not guilty to the
charge of larceny after trust, while
another jury found Minis guilty of
larceny from the house. Fed Wilson,
charged with kidnapping, was ably de-
Tended by Col. j. r. Williams, the
Jury generating him of the charge.
Wade Evans was tried for burglary,
but the jury in rendering a verdict re-
commended a misdemeanor punish
ment. John Lewis drove a mule with
out the owners consent, and will pay
$50 for his ride or serve eight months
in the gang. Jim Battle was tried for
burglary, the missing goods consisting
of thirty pounds bacon, but his case
had not been finished at the hour of
adjournment yesterday. Ahe cases for
alleged violation of t1e local option
law will be tried this morning and will
doubtless prove quite interesting.

MONTFORT'S LIQUOR
CAUSED TROUBLE.
Police Find His Castle Stored With
the Ardent.
PLENTY OF JUGS AND BOTTLES
And Many Filled With Booze of DIFF
ferent Brands -Montfort jailed and
Grand Jury Promptly Found In
dictment Against Negro,

For a man who had not the reputa
ton of being hard drinker 0. G.
Montfort, of Americas, kept at his
home perhaps the largest stock of rye
and corn whiskey of any negro IN
Americas. In fact, the police found
enough there to start quite a good
sized barroom.
But the irony of fate and the iron OF
the Jail windows now separate Mont
fort from his many whiskey jugs, filled
full of the ardent.
And his heart is filed full of woe in
consequence.
When the police visited the Montfort
villa just before daylight yesterday
they didn't expect to strike such bo-
nanza. though they had information
that Montfort had been selling liquor.
and quite naturally expected to find
little left in the sideboard.
But what they really found was an
''eye-opener" in many respects.
There were jugs-dozens Of jugs
and bottles-dozens of bottles; quarts,
pints and half pints, and many of these
were filed with the stuff which the law
says shall not be sold here.
The three or four officers secured
about dray load of filled and empty
jugs and brought the booze to the
barracks. Montfort was not at home
when the visitors called, but an hour
later they found him at the home of
close friend and placed him in the
dry dock,
It was when the officers went back to
Montfort's house for another cargo of
liquor that the surprise of the morning
was unfolded.
During their absence friends and rel
atiyes of the Gagged coon had sought to
eliminate all traces of liquor from the
premises, and having dug two trenches
in the yard were engaged in burying
seventeen empty whiskey jugs when
the police dropped in upon the i'm
promptu funeral"
It was perhaps the biggest "fnd" of
whiskey the officers have yet made.
Among Montfort's papers, found in a
trunk, were postal receipts for money
transmitted through the mails, the
total aggregating perhaps $500. There
were many evidences to bear out the
belief that Montfort has been very
ayfan siva Durchasar of whiskov
The grand jury returned an indict-
ment against him yesterday and he Will
be tried shortly The jury found 'no
bill" in the case of Aaron Allen, the
negro whose evidence caught Mont
fort.

Several days ago the Times Recorder
announced that Rev. F. 81. T. Horse
field, of Cambridge, N. Y. had accepted
call to the rectorshipo of Calvary Epis-
