strolled into the courtroom yesterday
morning with his hat tilted jauntly
upon his head, his appearance con-
siderably riled His Honor. Hawaka-

the offending tile would cause him &c

little man, who knew not the proper
time and place to remove his hat, was
escorted to the Jail, there to spend

of next week to place HIS premises in
! perfect sanitary condition.
