Union City Men Enjoying Themselves
 in Watertown.

III " dleI IlOWQ. Last Saturday afternoon three young men, who hailed from Union City, or at least claimed that town as their resi- Idence, blew into Watertown. They had all been indulging in the cup which cheers and also inebriates One of them had got to the point where in- ebriated is much too mild a word to use. In plain language, he was drunk, and very drunk at that. The other two had good comfortable jags. They called at the store of r. L. Hitchcock and tried for little time to run that estab- llshment to suit themselves. When Mr Hitchcock asked them to clear out they got saucy. Sheriff Peck was called in and the trio took trip to the tramps' rest. The sheriff gave the two who were least under the influence of Honor good talking to and let them go. The other he locked up and later. in .tha af ternoon, when he had time to sober LID. ne too was allowed to depart in peace. They told Sheriff Peck that they were going to Hotchkissville, where they bad procured work on a farm.

 when the deDter was notified by the lawyer to pay up he called on Andrew sld settle for S12. The lawyer then called for his fees,swhich amounted to p! This left only 8 which he real ized on his $16 bill.
