| and Second streets by Officers Botham
and Black who charged them with
drunk and selling liquor on the
streets" This was because one of the
victims requested from one of the Off
GERS material for a cigarette, thereby
proving that his mind was wandering,
as the late at night" stroller is never
supposed to ask anything but mercy
from a policeman. AS a foundation for
the additional charge of selling OH the
streets it was found that the buggy in
which they were riding contained a bad
ly depleted case of some limpid brown
liquid, which resembled hop tea, but
had to stand for beer. Nine out Of the
original "a bottles remained in the case,
and by the aid of some careful figuring,
the officers discovered that the pair had
either imbibed seven and one-half bot
ties each, or sold some of it, probably
the latter Hence the charge on the
register. They appeared for trial this
morning, defended by Attorney Joseph
Reed, who took the selling" section of
the case for starter, and objected
strenuOusly when the prosecuting attor-
ney became too personal in his abuse of
the defendants. After a complete prose-
cution, the court held that no evidence
worth mentioning had been given to
show that the men ever sold any of
their liquid, but when it came to ques-
ton of drunk or sober, he held that
the ABSORPTION of seven and one-half
quarts of beer was likely to cause
slight flaw in the sobriety of the de-
PENDANTS They were fined $500 each for
drunk During the examination
Mr.. Urnny seemed to enjoy abusing the
defendants and took great pleasure in
proving that Thomas Henry had given
only two-thirds of his full name, and
added McGill to the books.
Mrs Rosa Duva1 who operates small
secondhand store at 404 East Fourth
street, called at the police station yes
terday and asked some advice concern
ing her late husband, Daniel Duval,
from whom she had separated herself,
presumably for keeps. She stated that
she had divided the property with her
undesirable other half, Whereupon he
went to Kansas City and lived high
while it lasted, then returned to her
freside, with a request for more. She
gave him $1,000 and some good advice,
and told him to git" He got until
the $1,000 was exhausted, when he
returned for more. Again she gave him
something to leave, and then her gentle
spirit rebelled. 1t was too expensive
to pay him $1,000 a day to stay away
and she so informed the police. When
the pTOQlSd1 once I1OTo appeared ABOUT
10 o'clock last night, it is said that she
refused to slaughter the fatted calf and
he backed his demand by shifting her
with his fist. This was too much for
his long suffering wife, who gracefully
handed him over to the police. She was
on hand to testify against him this
morning, but the case was given a "a
hour continuance.
Mr.. VIM. Bunch was handed a bunch
of trouble last evening by a lady friend
named Lottie Williams, who resides
at the Midland hotel. She accused him
of stealing six dollars from her, and
had him arrested accordingly. He put
up a ten dollar bond and declared his
intentions of retaliating by charging
her with being too intimate with his
