prom Used to move on the eneRy at
once, or as soon as the weather IL ia
vorable.
The business OF the day consisted OF
dischRrging some and fining one or two
cu1prits. The wire workers, Radnor
Shaft and G. WINNER, were discharged
after the court had examined a speci-
men Of WINNERS handiwork, to see
If he could twist wire properly.
George smith, the ten-year-old burg
lar, was turned over to the county to
see If the officials could make him
divulge the wherea bouts of the missing
rings. The police have given up
M o. Charlesburg. of the pale horse
brigade, said that he had been out at
Great Bend working in the harvest
fields, and that he returned to Topeka
wife ten dollah,' reserving only
enough money to buy a bottle of white
horse" The court forgave him the
eight days labor he owes the city
a former count, on the grounds that
Charlesburg is not a, criminal because
he gets drunk, but the victim of an in
durable disease. He was told to bring
his wife around today, and If she sub
stimulates his statement about the ten
dollars he win so free.
Joe jackson. another unfortunate,
was discharged after making elaborate
keep away from police headquarters.
Then came a little diversion for the
spectators and EN- Embarrassment for At
torney Reed. Mrs. McLarty, who was
charged with being drunk, had secured
the va-Iua bic services of Mr.. Reed in her
defense, but her husband, who was the
complaining witness, and was so i'm
perative in his requests that she be
summarily punished, failed to appear.
When Attorney Reed asked for a con-
tinuance she spoke up and informed
him that he was not eenpIOyed to
band, therefore she could dispense with
his services by pleading guilty and
paying her fine, which policy she pro-
coded to act upon, despite the protests
of the attorney, who seemed to think
he had a case.
Olive Lodge was on hand to explain
why she had violated the quarantine
ordinance bv coming away from her
house while it was under the manage
ment Of health officers. The court
gave Mrs. Lodge a chance to think it
over another day
Chief Stahl and officer Bernard call
ed on John Bradshaw to his great sor-
row John was doing thriving little
business in a key shop of his own when
the blow fell. But he had a friend in
the person of Cash Curtis, the whole
saler, who put up specie to the extent
of 5000 as a sign that Bradshaw would
call again.
Chas. Heitman Jared even worse H@
was the alleged partner of Bradshaw
and had the nerve to say mean things
to Chief Stahl about some furniture
which received injurious treatment at
the hands of the raiders. The chief let
him fume awhile, and then informed
him that he had warrant for the ar
rest of a citizen who answered his de-
scription. Mr.. Hoffman paled visibIy
at this news. He was invited to remain
at the station few minutes while
some one got a bond. While waiting
for the bond, Carl Lawson Of the coua-
ty jail found out his wherea bouts. and
suddenly remembered that Hoffman
was an acquaintance of his Lawson
therefore gave him a pressing invita-
ton to call at the county institution
1t seems that Hoffman was fined sos
and costs amounting to $110 in the dis
trict court last month. But he didn't
pay the same until Monday evening
when ne went out with Deputy Sherfff
Stewart and borrowed the s11O from his
friends.
Harve Wheeler was arrested on JuIv
2 for holding shares in a keg Of malt
product. The court decided that he
was guilty of something and win LEFT
him know what it Is today.
IF at nrst you don't succeed. try. trv
again" seems TO be the policy Of Chief
Stahl In reference to the Royal Joint.
