Police Stagnation Has Not Yet
Been Relieved.
Two Cases Only Break the Calm
Serenity.
VIM. GAY WHO GOT GAY

of the Law.
EM. GAY WHO GOT GAY

The serenity of the police court has
not been broken by any startling event
for several days The corridors of the
city jail are filed with nothing but
oppressive silence. Mr. Boyd, grand
mogul of the portable stone quarry, is
rapidly losing flesh from anxiety. Like
the historic Mr.. Crusoe before the first
visit of Friday, he is monarch with
out subjects. The policemen are doing
their best to relieve the strained con-
dftions of the criminal market The
valiant Bevelle gets up in the Silly
night to nab some reckless paper
carrier but unluckily for the honor of
the Slated reception room, these
Villains are all armed with an
emergency fund of 81 which they leave
with the jailer.
Fridays grist of "courtiers'' was a
thin one One of the many Vim. Gay
cases was passed upon by the court TO
the intense disgust of the victim. MI
Gay, who lives at 231 Jefferson street,
aside from being gay, is extremely So
ciable. It is no uncommon thing Tor
him to tap a key and call in the neigh
bors from afar to help him dispose or
the same ere the contents grow stare
On many occasions have the police IN
truded on the privacy of his little
home and caused him much annoy
ance by rem owing both host and re-
freshments to other parts of the city.
Seeing that he was doomed to be fre-
ssuenrIy harassed by the wicked, he
thought of a novel scheme to Illustrate
their sinful designs, and proceeded to
put it into execution. Several doors
south of the scene of frequent So
ciability resides a lady who possesses
an unused coal repository, which Mr..
Gay proceeded to borrow for the alleged
purpose of storing some unused house
hold furniture.
Having no use for the building dur
ing hot weather. Mrs. Katerina Ber-
nard, the lady in question, readily con-
scented to the proposition, as Mr.. Gay
Eignif1ed his willingness to remove MS
goods before frost. He then placed a
lock on the shack, and Mrs. Bernard
says she really had no suspicion that
it contained a choice assortment OF
liquid refreshments until the police
called and removed the contents. When
discovered, Mr.. Gay was conducting
modern can party, and regaling an as
sembly of guests with the contents OF
a gallon receptacle which he frequently
rushed" toward the coal house of his
neighbor. Mr.. Gays legal representa-
tive Attorney Joe Reed, didn't think
that the contents of a coal house in a
neighbours yard had any bearing what
ever on Mr.. Gay, who was arrested on
warrant calling for the house num-
Der in which he lived. The court didn't
proceeded to find Mr.. Gay guilty of
circumstances and fine him 5000 and go
days in the refrigerator. The case was
promptly appealed and the defense is
confident that Mr.. Gay will be vindf-
Gated by a higher tribunal
After a long rest, Mr.. Geo. Klauer
was disturbed in his business by Chief
beer and a bottle of pain killer which
Mr.. Klauer claimed as personal prop
erty exempt from seizure by the min
ions of the law were removed from his
